Does the AI disclose being AI?

It identifies itself as your AI assistant on the very first message — "Hi, I'm [name], the AI assistant for [your business]" — because the law requires it (California SB 1001, Colorado AI Act), and it's built in. The voice is warm and natural, so callers feel looked after, not handed off to a robot.

What happens in a pet emergency?

The AI stops the booking flow, tells the caller 'This sounds like an emergency — head to the nearest emergency vet right away,' and logs a message for your team with their phone and pet details.

Can it capture vaccination records?

Yes. It asks for rabies, DHPP, bordetella, or any vaccine your clinic or groomer requires, and includes it in the appointment note so your staff has the info before the pet arrives.

What a missed call costs pet services businesses

A missed call from someone needing an emergency vet visit can mean a critical delay
Taking appointment calls drains staff time — they're not grooming, training, or caring for animals
Callers ask the same questions repeatedly: vaccination requirements, pricing, whether you're accepting new patients
