Never Lose a Referral to a Missed Call

Specialist clinics depend on referrals from primary care vets and timely communication with rDVMs. Puppilot captures referral details with medical precision, handles multi-specialty intake across dermatology, surgery, oncology, and internal medicine, and ensures every referring veterinarian gets the communication loop they expect.

Capture Every Referral From the First Call

Specialty practices lose an estimated 20-30% of inbound referrals to hold times, voicemail, and incomplete intake. Puppilot answers every referral call instantly, collects case history and referring veterinarian details, and routes the intake to the correct specialist team — whether it's a dermatology consult, a surgical evaluation, or an oncology workup. No referral slips through the cracks.

Coordinate Complex Cases Across Multiple Teams

Specialty cases often involve multiple departments, diagnostics, and follow-ups spread across days or weeks. Puppilot tracks each case through its lifecycle — from initial referral to post-procedure follow-up — and proactively updates referring veterinarians and pet owners on scheduling, pre-op instructions, lab results availability, and discharge summaries. Your coordination team spends less time on the phone and more time supporting patient care.

Enforce Specialist-Specific Protocols Automatically

Every specialty has unique intake requirements. Oncology needs prior imaging and biopsy reports. Surgery requires referring-vet surgical notes and bloodwork. Dermatology needs detailed allergy and medication histories. Puppilot is configured to your specialty's protocols, collecting the right information at intake and flagging incomplete referrals before they reach your team — so clinicians get complete case files from day one.

Tuesday 2:15 PM | Referring veterinarian calling about a surgical referral
Client
Hi, this is Dr. Langford from Riverside Animal Hospital. I have a 7-year-old Golden Retriever with a splenic mass on ultrasound. I need to refer for a surgical consult and possible splenectomy.
Puppilot
Thank you, Dr. Langford. I can get this referral started right away. I have your clinic on file. Can you confirm the patient's name and the owner's contact information so I can pull up or create the case record?
AI recognizes the referring practice and initiates structured intake.
Client
The patient is Baxter, owned by Sarah Thornton. Her number is 555-0172. We did bloodwork and an abdominal ultrasound yesterday.
Puppilot
Got it. I've created a surgical referral for Baxter under Dr. Moran's team. To complete the intake, we'll need the CBC/chemistry panel, abdominal ultrasound report, and any thoracic radiographs if available. You can send those to referrals@summitspecialty.com or I can have our records team reach out. The earliest surgical consult availability is Thursday at 10:00 AM. Would you like me to reserve that slot and send pre-op instructions to Mrs. Thornton?
Client
Thursday works. I'll send the diagnostics over this afternoon.
Puppilot
Thursday at 10:00 AM is confirmed for Baxter's surgical consult with Dr. Moran. I'm sending Mrs. Thornton a text with the appointment details, pre-op fasting instructions, and directions to our facility. You'll receive a confirmation and a case update once we've reviewed the diagnostics. Is there anything else I can help with, Dr. Langford?

Questions Specialty Practices Ask

Can Puppilot handle referrals for multiple specialties within one hospital?

Yes. Puppilot is configured to recognize which specialty a referral is for based on the caller's description and routes the intake to the correct department with the appropriate protocol. Whether a referring vet is calling about a dermatology consult, an orthopedic surgery, or an internal medicine workup, the AI collects the right information and schedules with the right team.

How does Puppilot ensure referral intakes are complete before reaching clinicians?

Each specialty has a configurable intake checklist. For example, surgical referrals require bloodwork, imaging, and referring-vet notes. Puppilot walks the caller through each requirement, flags any missing items in real time, and follows up with the referring clinic to collect outstanding records before the appointment. Your specialists receive complete case files without chasing paperwork.

Will referring veterinarians be comfortable talking to an AI?

Referring vets consistently report positive experiences because Puppilot is fast, accurate, and structured. Instead of waiting on hold or leaving a voicemail and hoping for a callback, they get immediate confirmation that the referral is received, the consult is scheduled, and the client has been notified. Most referring practices prefer the speed and reliability over traditional phone intake.

How does Puppilot keep referring veterinarians updated on their cases?

Puppilot sends automated status updates to referring veterinarians at key milestones — appointment confirmation, day-of check-in, post-procedure summary, and discharge. Updates can be delivered via text, email, or fax based on each clinic's preference. Referring vets can also call in to ask about a case status and receive an immediate update without waiting for a callback.

Does Puppilot sync with specialty practice management software?

Puppilot syncs with major practice management systems used by specialty hospitals, including those that support multi-department scheduling and referral tracking. Our onboarding team handles the technical setup, typically completing setup within one week, so your workflow is uninterrupted and your existing tools stay in place.
