AI receptionist for vets
When the waiting room is full and a vet is in surgery, the phone keeps ringing. Your AI receptionist answers the calls you miss in your practice’s name, answers routine questions from your own information, books vaccinations and check-ups, and takes messages for anything that needs the team.
How it works for vets
Routine questions answered
Opening hours, prices you’ve published, which pets you see, whether you’re registering new clients: it answers from your website and notes, and takes a message when the answer isn’t there.
Vaccinations and check-ups booked
With online bookings on, it offers real free times for a booster or a check-up, reads the details back and books the appointment, with a confirmation and reminder sent in your name.
Callers put through to you
Choose a number for it to transfer to, and when a caller asks to speak to someone, it puts them through. With no number set, it takes a message with their details and what’s wrong.
It never gives clinical advice
Everything it says comes from what you’ve given it, with no guessing. It won’t diagnose or advise on treatment; for anything clinical, it takes a message or puts the caller through to your team.
Puppy vaccination
A Saturday morning at Kingsmead Vets
Saturday calls handled while the team saw patients
Saturday mornings at Kingsmead Vets meant a full waiting room and a phone that rang out. With the receptionist taking the calls the team missed, owners still got answers. It booked two puppy vaccinations, moved a cat’s check-up to Tuesday, and told an owner asking about opening hours that the practice was open until noon. A caller whose dog had eaten something worrying asked to speak to someone, and it put her straight through to the practice’s duty phone.
An illustration of how it works, not a real customer.
The film
How the AI Receptionist, LocalQuiver's fifth AI agent, answers the calls you miss and your website chat in your business's name, how missed callers get a text back from your business number, and how customers book themselves into one diary. It works the same way for vets.

0:14Your phone rings first. When you can't pick up, it answers in your business's name, and says it's an AI assistant.

0:45Their replies land in one place, and you answer from the app when you're free.
0:49And with online bookings, customers book themselves into times that are genuinely free, from your website or your booking link.

More for vets
Set a number for it to put calls through to, such as your duty phone, and it transfers anyone who asks to speak to someone. It never gives clinical advice, and with no number set it takes an urgent message for your team.
Yes, with online bookings on. Each vet and nurse has their own hours in the diary, and it only offers times when the right person is free. Or it books whoever is free first, if that’s how you work.
Yes. It greets callers in your practice’s name and says it’s an AI assistant, and a line saying so is added if your greeting leaves it out. Asked directly, it never pretends to be a person.
