Built for the Chronic, Recurring Nature of Dermatology Cases

Veterinary dermatology is one of the most phone-intensive specialties — lengthy allergy history intakes, ongoing immunotherapy management, seasonal flare-up calls, and medication refill requests from long-term patients. Puppilot manages the full communication lifecycle of chronic skin cases, from first referral to ongoing allergy management.

  • 🩹 Detailed allergy history intake
  • 📅 Allergy testing and recheck scheduling
  • 🕐 24/7 flare-up triage and medication support

Comprehensive Allergy History Intake

Dermatology referrals require the most detailed intake histories in veterinary medicine — prior medications tried, food trial history, environmental exposures, seasonal patterns, and ear infection frequency. Puppilot walks callers through a structured derm-specific intake protocol that captures everything your dermatologist needs, including prior allergy testing results and immunotherapy history, so the first consultation starts productive.

24/7 Flare-Up Triage for Anxious Owners

Allergy flare-ups happen on weekends, holidays, and at 2 AM. Owners call panicked about sudden itching, ear infections, hives, or hot spots. Puppilot answers these calls around the clock with access to the patient's dermatology history, current medications, and known triggers. It provides specific guidance based on the patient's treatment plan and escalates severe reactions or potential adverse drug reactions to your on-call dermatologist.

Allergy Testing, Immunotherapy, and Recheck Scheduling

Dermatology cases involve intradermal testing appointments, immunotherapy injection schedules, food trial follow-ups, and monthly rechecks. Puppilot books from your real-time calendar, coordinates multi-step diagnostic and treatment sequences, sends preparation instructions for allergy testing, and manages recurring immunotherapy check-in schedules — eliminating the back-and-forth phone calls that consume your front desk's day.

Proactive Recheck Reminders and rDVM Updates

Chronic dermatology patients need regular follow-ups — but owners of well-managed patients often forget to schedule rechecks. Puppilot proactively contacts clients when rechecks are due, books the appointment during the same conversation, and sends reminders before each visit. For referring veterinarians, it delivers treatment progress updates and allergy management recommendations so rDVMs can reinforce the treatment plan at wellness visits.

Sunday 6:30 PM | Pet owner calling about an allergy flare-up
Client
Hi, I'm calling about my dog Milo. He's been scratching his ears nonstop since this afternoon and they look really red inside. He's been on Apoquel for his allergies but this seems worse than usual.
Puppilot
I can see Milo's records. He's been a dermatology patient since 2024 and is currently on Apoquel 16mg once daily for atopic dermatitis, with a history of recurrent ear infections. Red, itchy ears alongside his existing allergy profile is consistent with an ear flare-up. Is there any discharge in the ears, head shaking, or has he been pawing at them?
AI accesses Milo's dermatology history, current medications, and known patterns to provide contextual triage.
Client
There's some brown waxy stuff in both ears. He's shaking his head a lot. No swelling on the outside though.
Puppilot
That sounds like a recurring ear infection — consistent with Milo's history. This isn't typically an emergency, but he'll need ear cytology and treatment. I'd recommend scheduling a recheck this week so Dr. Park can evaluate the ears and adjust his allergy management if needed. The earliest available appointment is Tuesday at 11:00 AM. In the meantime, don't put anything in his ears unless Dr. Park's team has previously prescribed a specific ear medication for flare-ups. Would you like to book Tuesday?
AI distinguishes this flare-up from an emergency and schedules appropriate follow-up while providing interim guidance.
Client
Yes, book it. We do have some ear cleaner from last time — should I use that?
Puppilot
I can see Milo was prescribed TrizUltra+Keto ear flush at his last visit. You can use that gently once tonight and once tomorrow to keep the ears clean until Tuesday. I'm sending you a text with the appointment details for Tuesday at 11:00 AM with Dr. Park. If the head shaking gets significantly worse, you notice swelling, or Milo seems painful when you touch his ears, call us back. Otherwise, we'll see you Tuesday.
AI references the specific previously prescribed medication and provides appropriate interim care based on the patient's treatment history.
