For veterinary clinics

The veterinary answering service that never judges symptoms.

After hours, calls still answered.

A refill request at 10 pm, a new puppy to register, a question for the vet. Pickwick answers after hours, tells every caller how to reach emergency care right after the recording notice, and turns the rest into appointment and refill requests your team approves in the morning.

How you go live

Pickwick for veterinary clinics goes live through a guided onboarding. We configure your hours, services, emergency routing and approvers with your team, test it on your own calls, then forward your existing number. No new phone system.

What Pickwick handles

Appointment and refill requests for your desk

Everything it captures lands on one screen, and everything that costs money waits for a person to say yes.

The emergency line, first

Every caller hears: "If your pet is having an emergency, please hang up and call an emergency animal hospital." Pickwick never judges symptoms.

Appointment requests

New and existing clients, species, reason for the visit and the first slot, for your front desk to confirm.

Refill requests

Pet, medication and pharmacy taken down for a vet to approve. It never approves one itself.

New-client intake

Owner and pet details and the previous clinic, before the first visit.

The calls that come in

The emergency line, first

The same rule as every Pickwick line: an emergency is handled before anything else.

Not a clinical system

The emergency line uses fixed platform wording; the rest are rules we set with you at onboarding.

No medical advice

No doses, no home remedies, no 'wait and see'. It routes.

The emergency line comes first

Every caller hears it right after the recording notice. It never decides what is an emergency.

Refills need a vet

A request, never an approval.

Nothing booked without your team

Every appointment waits for a yes.
