The "After-Hours Void" Problem
Emergency calls go unanswered during off-hours, risking pet health crises like untreated parvovirus infections or diabetic emergencies in cats
Overloaded receptionists miss routine inquiries from anxious pet owners about flea prevention or post-spay recovery instructions
HIPAA compliance gaps expose clinics to regulatory fines during phone interactions
Appointment scheduling errors lead to double-booking and frustrated clients waiting for urgent dental cleanings or heartworm tests
Follow-up care reminders fall through cracks, increasing readmission rates for chronic conditions like feline urinary tract infections or canine osteoarthritis
Seasonal spikes in calls overwhelm staff, delaying vaccinations like rabies boosters and annual wellness exams during peak allergy seasons

Why Choose Us
We craft AI voice agents specifically for veterinary workflows, integrating seamlessly with your EHR systems like ezyVet or Cornerstone. These agents handle everything from triaging urgent cases—like a limping Labrador at midnight—to booking wellness visits. Built from the ground up, they ensure zero downtime and full HIPAA adherence. No off-the-shelf templates here; we map your clinic's unique protocols, from post-op instructions to prescription refills, creating a digital extension of your team that operates tirelessly.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock 24/7 Patient Care Without the Overhead
Never Miss a Critical Call Again
Never Miss a Critical Call Again: Our AI agents provide instant responses to after-hours emergencies, guiding owners through symptoms like vomiting or lethargy while queuing urgent cases for your on-call vet—such as stabilizing a limping dog suspected of ACL tear. Clinics see a <span class="gradient">40% increase</span> in captured opportunities within the first quarter, turning potential walk-aways into loyal clients—like that late-night flea treatment query that becomes a full preventive care package including heartworm testing.
HIPAA-Compliant Peace of Mind
HIPAA-Compliant Peace of Mind: Every conversation is encrypted and logged per regulatory standards, eliminating compliance risks during discussions of protected health information like a dog's chemotherapy regimen. We've helped clinics avoid fines averaging $50,000 by automating secure PHI handling—imagine a pet owner discussing a diabetic cat's insulin needs without a single worry about data breaches, with full audit trails for regulatory reviews.
Boost Revenue Through Smarter Scheduling
Boost Revenue Through Smarter Scheduling: Agents qualify leads and book appointments on the spot, reducing no-shows by <span class="gradient">25%</span> over six months. For instance, during flu season, they prioritize high-need slots for puppy vaccines and deworming treatments, ensuring your schedule stays full and revenue streams steady without manual follow-ups, while integrating seamlessly with practice management software.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose 15-20 calls a week after 6 PM, especially during kitten season with queries about ringworm outbreaks. Now, it's handling triage for everything from ear infections to boarding requests for traveling owners, and our emergency response time dropped from hours to minutes for cases like suspected ingestion of toxins. Saved us hiring an extra night staffer too, freeing up budget for new ultrasound equipment."
Dr. Emily Carter
Lead Veterinarian, Paws & Claws Clinic
"Integrating this with our Cornerstone system was seamless in under a week. Last month, it managed a rash of post-surgery calls after orthopedic procedures, giving owners clear discharge instructions on pain management and scheduling follow-ups automatically for suture removals. Client satisfaction scores jumped 30%, and we're not scrambling for coverage anymore during our busiest holiday boarding periods."
Dr. Michael Rodriguez, Practice Manager
Practice Manager, Riverside Animal Hospital, serving 5,000+ pets annually in suburban California
"As a small clinic, compliance was always a headache with sensitive records. Their AI ensures every call is HIPAA-safe, even for detailed discussions about senior dog arthritis meds and mobility aids. We've cut admin time by half and picked up 12 new recurring clients from off-hours inquiries about end-of-life planning in just two months, boosting our preventive care revenue by 18%."
Dr. Sarah Patel, DVM
Owner and Chief Veterinarian, Healthy Paws Veterinary Clinic, a boutique practice specializing in geriatric pet care

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI ensure HIPAA compliance in veterinary calls?
Our AI voice agents are engineered with end-to-end encryption for all interactions, storing only anonymized data unless explicitly authorized. We adhere to HIPAA's stringent rules for protected health information (PHI), such as pet medical histories or owner details discussed during calls about conditions like diabetes in dogs. Built-in audit trails log every session, helping clinics prepare for inspections without hassle. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, we customize consent prompts to fit veterinary norms—getting verbal approval before noting sensitive info like allergy records. This has helped our clients pass compliance reviews flawlessly, avoiding the average $25,000 fine for breaches in small practices.
Can the AI handle urgent pet emergencies effectively?
Absolutely. The agents are trained on veterinary guidelines from sources like the AVMA, triaging calls by asking targeted questions about symptoms—e.g., 'Is your cat breathing rapidly or showing signs of pain?' They provide immediate calming advice, like monitoring for dehydration in puppies, while prioritizing and notifying your on-call team via text or app. For true crises, like suspected poisoning, it escalates instantly without delay. We've seen response times cut from 45 minutes to under 5 in partnered clinics, ensuring better outcomes for animals and peace of mind for owners. It's not a replacement for vets but a vigilant first responder.
What if a call requires a human veterinarian's input?
Seamless handoffs are core to our design. If the AI detects complexity—say, a detailed discussion on surgical recovery for a spayed dog—it politely explains, 'I'll connect you to our expert now,' and transfers to your available staff or voicemail with full context transcribed. No information is lost; the system preps a summary in your EHR, like noting vitals mentioned. This integration with tools like ezyVet ensures continuity. Clinics report 90% of routine calls resolved by AI, freeing vets for high-value care and reducing burnout from constant interruptions.
How quickly can we implement this in our clinic?
From consultation to launch, it's typically 3-4 weeks for a custom build. We start with a deep dive into your workflows—mapping calls for everything from flea treatments to annual exams—then develop and test integrations with your phone system and software. Beta testing involves simulated scenarios, like a midnight limping horse query, to fine-tune accuracy. Post-launch, we provide a week of monitoring to optimize, ensuring 99% uptime. For smaller clinics, we've done full deployments in 21 days, minimizing disruption during busy seasons like back-to-school pet adoptions.
Will this work with our existing veterinary software?
Yes, we specialize in deep integrations with platforms like Cornerstone, AVImark, or IDEXX. The AI pulls real-time data, such as checking vaccine status before booking a booster, or updating records after a call about dietary needs for overweight pets. Using secure APIs, we create two-way syncs that eliminate manual entry—saving receptionists hours weekly. If you're on a custom setup, our team reverse-engineers connections for flawless performance. This unified approach turns fragmented tools into a cohesive system, boosting efficiency by 35% as seen in our vet client benchmarks.
What's the cost for a veterinary clinic like ours?
Pricing is custom, starting at $4,500 for development plus a low monthly maintenance fee of $299—far below hiring a full-time receptionist at $45K/year. Factors include call volume and integrations; a solo vet might invest $6K upfront for basics like scheduling and triage, while multi-location practices opt for $12K with advanced analytics. ROI hits fast: One clinic recouped costs in 2 months via 20% more appointments. We offer a free audit to scope exact needs, ensuring it's built for your budget without subscription traps.
