    The Problem: Why Vet Practices Lose Patients

    Running a veterinary practice means dealing with a frustrating reality: pet owners forget. Vaccinations expire, boosters get missed, and annual checkups slip their minds. By the time they remember, their pet may already be ill - or they've found another vet closer to home.

    The Numbers Don't Lie

    55%
    of pet owners miss annual vaccination appointments
    £45-80
    lost revenue per missed vaccination visit
    30%
    of pets are overdue for boosters at any time
    40%
    of lapsed clients never return to the same practice

    What This Means for Your Practice

    • Lost revenue: Every missed vaccination is £45-80 walking out the door - plus potential treatment fees
    • Health risks: Unvaccinated pets face serious, preventable diseases
    • Lapsed clients: Pet owners who forget often register with whoever's closest when they finally remember
    • Irregular schedule: Without predictable bookings, staffing and stock management becomes guesswork

    The Manual Reminder Problem

    Some practices try to solve this with:

    • Practice management software (expensive, complex, often ignored by clients)
    • Phone calls (time-consuming, pet owners don't answer)
    • Email (low open rates, lost in spam folders)
    • Postcards (costly, slow, easily thrown away)
    • Nothing (hoping pet owners remember)

    None of these are effective. You need a system that reaches pet owners where they actually look - their phone.

    The Solution: Automated Pet Reminders That Work

    Remindlo sends SMS reminders to pet owners automatically. No phone tag. No ignored emails. No missed vaccinations.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do vet appointment reminders work?

    Remindlo connects to your patient database and automatically sends SMS reminders before vaccinations, boosters, or checkups are due. You set the timing (e.g., 30, 14, and 7 days before), customise the message with your practice details, and we handle the rest. Pet owners receive a text with your booking link or phone number.

    How far in advance should I send vaccination reminders?

    We recommend a 3-touch approach: 30 days (gives time to plan), 14 days (creates urgency), and 7 days (final reminder). This gives pet owners multiple opportunities to book while it's still on their mind.

    Can I import my existing patient database?

    Yes. Upload a CSV file with owner names, phone numbers, pet details, and treatment due dates. Most practice management systems can export this data easily.

    How much does vet reminder software cost?

    Start completely free with 10 SMS per month. Paid plans start from £19/month for 75 SMS (Starter) or £49/month for 250 SMS (Standard). There are no setup fees or long-term contracts.

    Is it legal to send SMS reminders to clients?

    Yes, as long as you have client consent. Vaccination reminders are considered "service messages" under GDPR because they relate to ongoing care for registered patients. Clients can always opt out easily.

    What if a client doesn't want reminders?

    Every message includes an opt-out link. When a client opts out, they're automatically removed from future reminders. You can also manually remove clients from your dashboard.

    Do I need technical knowledge to set this up?

    No. If you can use email, you can use Remindlo. Setup takes about 2 minutes: upload your client list, customise your message template, and you're done.

    Can I send reminders for different types of treatments?

    Yes. Remindlo works for any scheduled treatment: annual vaccinations, boosters, worming, flea treatments, dental checks, senior screenings, neutering reminders, and more.

    Can I use this for multiple pets per owner?

    Yes. Each pet can have their own reminder schedule. If an owner has three cats with different vaccination dates, each gets reminded at the right time.

    Does it work with my practice management software?

    Remindlo works alongside any practice management system. Simply export your client data as a CSV and import it into Remindlo. No complex integrations required.
