Pet Professionals SMS FAQ

Is SMS the right choice for your veterinary clinic? Read these answers to some of our most frequently asked questions to find out.

Contact Us
How do I promote my vet clinic using SMS?

You can use SMS to promote your clinic in several ways. If you have patients who haven’t brought their pets in for a checkup or vaccine in a while, you can send those pet parents a text to gently remind them that their animal companion is due for an appointment.

You can also use SMS to run promotions and specials, such as discounts on services that are nice to have but not always necessary for a pet’s health, like teeth cleaning. If your clinic sells pet food and supplies, you can create a loyalty or rewards program and keep customers in the loop about it using text messages. 

Do veterinarians use text appointment scheduling and reminders?

Yes, veterinarians often use text messaging to send appointment confirmations and reminders. Once a client books an appointment, your clinic can send them a text confirming the details, including the date, time and vet their pet will be seeing. 

In the days leading up to a visit, your clinic can send appointment reminders to clients. The reminders can give clients the option of confirming or rescheduling the appointment. Using reminders can cut down on your clinic’s no-show rate and keep you from having valuable appointment times go unfilled. 

How can veterinarians use SMS?

Veterinarians can use SMS in multiple ways. Texting clients is an efficient and cost-effective way to set up appointments, confirm visits and remind them of upcoming appointments. 

Your clinic can also use SMS to promote services or remind clients of treatments or preventive care their pets may be due to receive, such as rabies shots or X-rays. For pets that take medication, your clinic can use texts to send clients refill reminders or to let them know when a prescription is ready for pickup.

How can I integrate CompleteSMS with my veterinarian CRM?

We’ve made it easy to integrate CompleteSMS with your existing CRM. Our gateway API includes CRM integration capabilities with no extra hardware required.

Why use SMS communication for my veterinary clinic?

Your veterinary clinic can benefit from SMS in a few ways. It’s a cost-effective method to increase client bookings and reduce no-shows. It can also help you upsell products and services to clients while increasing your clinic’s retention rate.
