Katie · Call ended · summary sent
Hello, my dog ate some chocolate about an hour ago.
I understand. How much does he weigh, and do you know how much he ate?
He’s 8 kilos, and he ate half a bar of dark chocolate.
Under the clinic’s protocol, that’s an emergency. I’m putting you through to the on-call vet.

What changes when an AI receptionist answers for you
Vet practices and clinics, small animal, exotics, equine and farm vets. In your trade, every unanswered call is an enquiry that goes elsewhere.
Without an AI agent
- Vet nurses juggle reception, patient care and the phone.
- A worried owner who reaches voicemail calls another clinic.
- Vaccination and check-up reminders are done by hand, when there’s time.
With PermanenceAI
- Fewer interruptions for vet nurses at reception
- Emergencies spotted and passed on straight away according to your protocol
- Automatic vaccination and check-up reminders from the Assistant plan

You decide: transfer to the on-call vet, the contact details of the emergency service you work with, or a message with a callback in the morning. Either way, the phone never rings unanswered.
Yes. Each vet has their own consultation types, durations and availability in the connected calendar (Google, Outlook, Cal.com or Calendly).
