For Veterinary Practices

Every pet owner gets through, every time

Your AI receptionist answers every call, triages urgency, and books appointments — so your team can focus on the animals, not the phone.

The Problem

Your front desk is overwhelmed

Vet practices lose clients every week to missed calls. Sound familiar?

Missed calls during consultations and surgery

When your team is in theatre or with a patient, the phone rings out. Worried pet owners hang up and call the practice down the road.

Front desk can't keep up

Receptionists are juggling check-ins, dispensing medication, and answering calls at the same time. Something always gets dropped.

After-hours emergencies go unanswered

Pet owners call at 10 PM with a sick dog. Without after-hours cover, they're left searching for an emergency vet on Google.

The Solution

Your AI receptionist never misses a call

Patch builds you a voice agent that knows your practice. It answers questions, triages urgency, and books appointments around the clock.

Every call answered, even during surgery

A voice agent trained on your website that handles appointment requests, opening hours, and pet health questions naturally, 24/7.

Urgent cases flagged immediately

Every call is scored by urgency — so you know to call back the vomiting puppy before the routine vaccination booking.

Full context before you call back

Complete call transcripts with pet name, symptoms, and owner details. Your team is fully prepared before picking up the phone.

Premium

Appointments booked automatically

Your agent checks availability and books consultations directly into your Google Calendar. No double-bookings.

Premium

Emergency alerts sent instantly

When a caller describes an urgent symptom, your team gets an immediate notification with the pet's details and the owner's number.

A Day in the Life

A typical Wednesday at the practice

Here's how Patch works behind the scenes while your team cares for patients.

8:30 AM

Morning rush before the doors open

Six pet owners call to book appointments before the practice opens. Patch answers every one, checks availability, and confirms slots.

10:00 AM

Surgery block — phones unmanned

Your vet is in surgery and the receptionist is checking in patients. Patch handles four calls — two appointment requests and two medication refill queries.

2:00 PM

Afternoon rush hour

Back-to-back consultations. Patch fields eight calls, flags one urgent case (a dog that stopped eating), and books three routine check-ups.

6:00 PM

Closing time, fully booked tomorrow

By end of day, 20 calls handled, 8 appointments booked, and the one urgent case was called back within minutes.

10:00 PM

After-hours emergency triage

A cat owner calls about laboured breathing. Patch answers, gathers symptoms, and sends an urgent alert to the on-call vet with full details.
