PawReco: Revolutionizing Animal Hospital Management

On October 5, 2026, AnimaLife, a Tokyo-based company, officially launched PawReco, a groundbreaking integrated platform designed specifically for animal hospitals. With no initial fees or monthly base charges, PawReco has quickly gained traction, with 33 clinics adopting it within just two weeks of its launch and more than 50 considering it as of October 19, 2026.

Background of Development

Currently, Japan has approximately 13,046 small animal clinics, many of which are run by small teams. In these clinics, veterinarians often find themselves juggling appointment calls and manual record-keeping, which leads to inefficiencies after each consultation. To alleviate this overwhelm, PawReco was developed under the guidance of experienced veterinarians, aiming to streamline both the appointment scheduling and billing processes into a single, cohesive system that eliminates the need for double entries.

Unique Features of PawReco

1. Low-Cost Digital transformation: PawReco offers a zero-cost entry method for animal clinics to embrace digital transformation, allowing them to start with basic services like online appointment booking. Clinics currently using paper records can seamlessly integrate PawReco into their existing system, ensuring a smooth transition to digital without disrupting everyday operations.

2. Real-Time Online Booking: Clients can book appointments through the hospital's website or on Anikal, a platform listing over 11,000 animal hospitals, which attracts about 40,000 monthly users. Every booking made is instantaneously reflected in the hospital's reception system, effectively eliminating the need for manual recording after appointments.

3. Streamlined In-House Processes: The platform further enhances workflow by automatically updating patient status from appointment scheduling to billing, minimizing wait times for pet owners and significantly improving operational efficiency. PawReco's billing capabilities cater specifically to the needs of animal hospitals, offering detailed invoicing, discounts and insurance claim processes, all tailored for the veterinary context.

Future Features to Anticipate

• - Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and Prescription Management: Currently under development, this feature will allow clinics to record exams, treatments, and surgical procedures on a single screen. This integration will also eliminate redundancy in record-keeping as the chosen treatments will automatically input onto the billing interface.
• - AI Voice Recording: Being tested in select hospitals, this function allows for recording consultations and automatically generating transcriptions in SOAP format. This technology aims to reduce the time veterinarians spend on documentation, allowing them to focus more on patient care.

Meaning Behind the Name

The name PawReco is derived from combining ”Paw” (animal footprints) and ”Reco” (short for record), symbolizing the aim to preserve each animal’s journey through their medical history, from booking to billing.

Insights from the Team

Dr. Makoto Takeda, Product Manager at PawReco, stated, “Over my 4.5 years working in small animal clinical settings, I have observed various challenges that led me to develop PawReco. We aim to enrich the lives of both pet owners and veterinarians by minimizing administrative burdens and enhancing the emotional connection users can have with their pets.”
