Vaccine and wellness reminders for vet clinics with AI
To remind pet owners about vaccines and checkups, send a short message before the due date with the pet’s name and a one-tap way to book. AI can run this on a schedule, check in after surgery or a new prescription, and follow up on missed visits. Veterinarians set what is due and when.
Talk through your clinic with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your veterinary clinic to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
Use the pet’s name and the reason
A reminder that says “Biscuit is due for a yearly exam” works better than a generic notice. People respond to their own animal.
Pull the due date and the visit type from the record so the message is right.
After the visit
A day or two after a procedure, a check-in asking how the pet is eating and moving catches worries early. Replies that describe a problem should go straight to a nurse or doctor.
Pets on long term medication or with a chronic condition need regular rechecks, and missing one is easy. Reminders for these pets can follow the schedule your veterinarian sets, with a more careful tone for owners of older animals.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
A dog is due for a vaccine next month. The owner gets a note with a link to book.
Two days after a dental cleaning, the owner is asked how their cat is eating. A worrying reply alerts the nurse.
A pet that missed a recheck gets a gentle message offering two times.
The rules that apply, in their own words
“unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, are hereby declared unlawful.”
“header information that is materially false or materially misleading.”

Questions
Can the reminder say what the vaccine is for?
Yes, in simple terms your veterinarians approve. Avoid medical advice in the reminder itself.
Text or email?
Whichever your clients prefer. Many like text. Always allow them to opt out.
What if an owner replies that the pet is worse?
That reply should go to a nurse or doctor right away, not be answered by AI.
