SMS Appointment Reminders for Veterinary Clinics
Reduce no-shows by up to 80%, automate vaccine and wellness recalls, and free your techs from the phone. Built for small-animal, mixed-practice, and emergency vet hospitals.
Why veterinary clinics lose revenue to no-shows
Vet clinics face two compounding revenue losses: no-shows on booked appointments (typically 8-12%) and lapsed wellness recalls (30-40% of annual boosters that never rebook). Both are reversible with automated SMS — the average ApptSecure vet clinic recovers $45,000-$80,000 per vet per year when both are solved.
The traditional recall postcard costs $1.20 each, sees 15% open rates, and books 5-8% of the list. An SMS recall costs $0.01, sees 98% open rates, and books 22-35% — a 4x+ improvement at 1% of the cost.
ApptSecure integrates with ezyVet, Cornerstone, AVImark, Impromed, and VetLogic via CSV or Zapier. Pet names and species pull through the merge tags, so the text reads like it came from a human at your clinic.
What your reminders look like
Fully customisable. This is the default template for veterinary clinics:
