The Opportunity

Great Teams Deserve Great Tools. Every Call Is a Chance to Shine.

Your front desk team does incredible work — but phones don't stop ringing just because the lobby is full. Here's where AI can help.

Capture Every Call, Even at Peak Hours

When your team is checking in patients, answering questions, and managing the lobby, overflow calls can slip through. PupPilot catches those calls so no appointment, new client, or opportunity is ever missed.

Give Pet Owners Peace of Mind After Hours

When a pet owner calls at 2 AM worried about their dog, they deserve more than a voicemail. PupPilot provides real-time triage so they know exactly what to do — whether it's an ER visit or a morning appointment.

Scale Without the Staffing Stress

Hiring and retaining front desk staff is harder than ever. PupPilot gives your existing team breathing room by handling routine calls — so they can focus on the in-person care that makes your practice special.

The Solution

An Answering Service for Veterinarians — Built on AI, Powered by Your Data

Unlike traditional veterinary call centers or generic AI answering services, PupPilot syncs directly with your practice management software. When a client calls, PupPilot already knows their name, their pet's history, upcoming appointments, and medications.

Every call is handled with the same context your front desk team would have — but without the hold times, the staffing gaps, or the burnout.

The difference: Traditional answering services read from scripts. PupPilot reads from your PIMS. That means smarter triage, accurate scheduling, and zero "let me take a message and have someone call you back."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Veterinary Answering Services

Everything you need to know about switching from a traditional answering service to AI-powered call handling.

A veterinary answering service handles incoming phone calls on behalf of your veterinary practice — during business hours, after hours, or both. Traditional services use human operators reading from scripts. PupPilot is a modern, AI-powered veterinary answering service that syncs directly with your practice management software, so every call is handled with full context on the patient, their history, and upcoming appointments.
PupPilot connects to your practice management system (PIMS) and uses AI to answer incoming calls with real patient context. When a client calls, PupPilot identifies them, accesses their pet's records, and handles the call — whether it's scheduling an appointment, processing a prescription refill request, or triaging an after-hours emergency. Everything is logged back into your PIMS automatically.
PupPilot syncs with over 130 veterinary practice management systems, including Avimark, Cornerstone, ezyVet, Shepherd, NaVetor, Digitail, Hippo Manager, DaySmart Vet, and many more. If your PIMS is cloud-based or server-based, there's a strong chance PupPilot supports it. Visit our full sync directory to check your specific software.
Traditional veterinary answering services typically charge $200–$1,000+ per month depending on call volume, with per-minute or per-call fees on top. Human vet tech services can cost significantly more. PupPilot's AI-powered approach delivers the same (or better) call quality at a fraction of the cost, with predictable pricing and no per-minute surprises.

Yes. PupPilot provides veterinary emergency answering service capabilities around the clock. When a caller describes an emergency, PupPilot identifies the urgency, collects critical details, and routes the call to your on-call veterinarian according to your protocols. Non-urgent after-hours calls are scheduled for the next business day, and full call details are logged in your PIMS.
Traditional veterinary answering services rely on human operators who read from scripts and have no access to your patient records. They take messages but can't schedule appointments, access medical history, or make informed triage decisions. AI-powered services like PupPilot sync with your PIMS, so every call is handled with full patient context — just like your best front desk staff would handle it. AI services also scale instantly, have zero hold times, and cost significantly less than human alternatives.
Most practices are up and running within days, not weeks. Setup involves connecting your practice management software (a guided process), configuring your call handling preferences and emergency protocols, and forwarding your phone line. PupPilot's team handles the technical sync, and you can customize how calls are handled at any time.
