Mador report · November 2026
Vets in Spain: brand by brand
We asked 4 AI assistants where to find vets in 50 cities in Spain, with the same 5 questions in every city: the vet they would recommend, a 24-hour emergency clinic for a dog that falls ill at night, where to have a cat spayed, a clinic that does veterinary dentistry, and a veterinary hospital with specialists. That makes 1,000 valid answers, collected on 11 November 2026.
493 of 1,000 answers name at least one chain
Count the names, though, and independent vet clinics come out ahead: 3,262 names of independent vet clinics against 620 chain names. 348 answers name independent vet clinics only.
AniCura is recommended in 256 answers and in 26 of 50 cities
Next come Kivet, recommended in 78 answers, and Medivet, in 68. Below are the chains recommended in at least 10 answers, with the cities where they show up.
The sites AI reads most when it talks about vets
Of the 855 answers that show the sites they read, clinicaveterinaria.es is read in 437, anicura.es in 258, vetespana.es in 186, simiperrohablara.com in 160, unavets.com in 94. Each site counts once per answer.

Method
Cities: the 50 most populous cities, INE, municipal register at 1 January 2025. Every city gets the same 5 questions, in Spanish and identical for every assistant; one answer per question and assistant, collected on 11 November 2026.
Assistants: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, on each assistant's lightweight model (for ChatGPT and Perplexity, the same as Mador's free scan), with web search on. 1,000 of 1,000 answers are valid.
Claude Haiku read the names in the text of each answer. A chain counts once per answer, even when the answer names several of its locations.
Here a chain is a network of vet clinics and hospitals with several locations in Spain under one brand, checked on its website on 11 November 2026. University veterinary hospitals count as clinics in their own right. Veterinary colleges, online guides and the Cat Friendly label, which is a certification for clinics, count neither as chains nor as clinics.
Medivet counts together with VetPartners: according to Medivet España's website, checked on 11 November 2026, the network now operates under the VetPartners brand.
The report counts the answers where the AI recommends the chain, not the ones that name it only to say it does not fit. A chain shows up in a city if at least one answer recommends it. The first figure on the page, the answers that name at least one chain, counts instead every answer that gives the name.
Run a vet clinic? Mador's free scan tells you which assistants you show up in, and who they name instead of you.
See where your clinic shows upFor chains: Mador works location by location, city by city, so AI recommends every clinic in the network.
