Every unanswered ring is a pet family walking to another clinic

Clinics spend thousands on Google and Yelp to make the phone ring — then bleed the leads they paid for when staff are rooming patients. The average practice misses 1 in 5 calls, and 72% of after-hours callers never leave a voicemail.

Three unscripted demos across real scenarios — a new-client limping cat with full intake, an existing client's dog hurt in the woods, and a same-day sick visit for a vomiting lab after the beach. Live AI, no scripts.

New Patient Intake

New Client — Limping Cat with Full Intake

A new client calls about a limping cat. The AI gathers comprehensive health history including breed, age, medications, allergies, and prior vet records, then books a next-morning appointment.

AI Hi. Thanks for calling Greenfield Veterinary Clinic. I'm Heather. How can I help you?
Caller Hi, Heather. I need to book an appointment for my cat, Sammy. He started limping a couple nights ago.
AI Of course. Poor Sammy. Let's get him in to be seen. Can I get your last name? And have you been to Greenfield before?
Caller Nope. My first time. My last name is Davidson. Clive Davidson.
AI Welcome to Greenfield, Clive. Let me grab a few quick details. Can you tell me roughly how old Sammy is and do you know his breed?
Caller He is a Russian Blue. He's six years old.
AI Great. A six-year-old Russian Blue — lovely cats. And is Sammy neutered?
Caller Yes, he is.
AI Is Sammy on any current medications or does he have any known allergies?
Caller No medications and no allergies that I know of.
AI Do you have a previous vet clinic we could reach out to for Sammy's records?
Caller It's a new cat for me. A friend that passed away gave me the cat. So I don't have a previous vet for him.
AI Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that about your friend. That's completely fine. We'll start fresh with Sammy here at Greenfield. Since he's been limping for a couple of days, I have tomorrow morning at 8 AM or tomorrow afternoon at 2 PM. Which works better?
Caller Tomorrow morning, 8 AM. I can be there.
AI Perfect. So you've got Sammy, a six-year-old neutered Russian Blue, coming in for a sick visit tomorrow morning at 8 AM. You'll receive a confirmation text shortly. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Caller No. That's great. Thanks very much. Take care.
AI You're very welcome, Clive. We'll take good care of Sammy. Hope he's feeling better soon.
Urgent Sick Visit

Dog Limping After Woods — Same-Day Urgent Visit

An existing client calls about his dog limping after running in the woods. The AI assesses severity, checks for visible injuries, offers same-day appointments, and provides interim care guidance.

Transcript
AI Hi. Thanks for calling Greenfield Veterinary Clinic. I'm Heather. How can I help you?
Caller Hi, my name is Tom and I was out walking my dog in the woods today. It seems to have hurt itself.
AI Oh, no. I'm sorry to hear that, Tom. What's your dog's name? And can you tell me what happened?
Caller My dog's name is Rufus. He was running in the woods, cavorting, and came back limping. I'm quite concerned.
AI Poor Rufus. A limp after running in the woods is definitely worth getting checked out. How bad does the limp seem? Is he putting any weight on the leg at all?
Caller He's mainly holding it up completely, puts it down then picks it up quickly. So it seems kind of bad.
AI Is there any visible swelling, cuts, or bleeding on the leg or paw? And has he been acting normally otherwise — alert and responsive?
Caller I can't see anything really wrong. He's not cut or bleeding. He seems a bit sad for himself because he's hurt.
AI That's actually a good sign that there's no bleeding or visible wound. It could be a sprain or something in his paw. Since he's not putting weight on it, I'd recommend getting him seen fairly soon. Have you been to Greenfield before?
Caller We were in for some rabies shots before. Is there any chance we could get in today?
AI Since you're an existing client, let me check what we have available today. I have a slot at 2 PM this afternoon or another at 4:30. Which works better?
Caller 4:30 would be perfect.
AI All set. Rufus has a sick visit at 4:30 this afternoon. You'll get a confirmation text. In the meantime, try to keep him calm and limit his movement so he doesn't strain that leg. Is there anything else I can help with?
Caller No. This was super helpful. Thank you very much.
AI You're very welcome, Tom. I hope Rufus feels better soon. Give him a little extra love from us. We'll see you at 4:30.
Sick Visit Triage

Vomiting Dog — New Client with Beach Exposure

A new client calls about a dog vomiting since the previous day after a beach visit. The AI performs triage questions, collects full intake information, and books a same-day appointment.

Transcript
AI Hi. Thanks for calling Smiley Pet Veterinary Clinic. This is Lucy. How can I help you?
Caller Hi, Lucy. I want to make an appointment for my dog. He's been vomiting recently.
AI Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Let's get that sorted out. Can you tell me your dog's name and how long the vomiting has been going on?
Caller It's Onyx. It started yesterday and he just vomited again just now.
AI Poor Onyx. Is he breathing normally? Is there any blood in the vomit, or did he possibly get into anything he shouldn't have?
Caller No blood in the vomit. His breathing seems good. Nothing I'm aware of — it's been the regular diet. We were out at the beach yesterday, though.
AI Good to know. It sounds like Onyx may have gotten into something at the beach, which is pretty common. This doesn't sound like an emergency, but I do think he should be seen soon. Can I get your last name so I can look you up?
Caller I'd be a new client. My last name is Davidson. Clive Davidson.
AI Welcome, Clive. We're happy to have you and Onyx. Can I get a good phone number to reach you at?
Caller You can use this number that I'm dialing you on.
AI Perfect. And do you know roughly how old Onyx is and what breed?
Caller Onyx is eight years old. He's a black lab.
AI A black lab — love it. Is Onyx neutered?
Caller Yes. He's neutered.
AI Does Onyx have any known allergies or current medications?
Caller No allergies and no medications.
AI Perfect. Do you have a previous vet we could reach out to for records?
Caller No. I basically inherited the dog, so I don't have a previous vet.
AI No worries at all, Clive. We'll start fresh with Onyx. Since he's been vomiting since yesterday, let's get him in as soon as possible. I have today at 3:30 PM or tomorrow morning at 8 AM. Which works better?
Caller Today at 3:30 would be great.
AI Perfect. Onyx has a sick visit today at 3:30 PM. You'll get a confirmation text. In the meantime, keep fresh water available and hold off on food for a few hours. Is there anything else I can help with?
Caller No. That's great. We'll see you at 3:30. Thank you.
AI Wonderful. We'll see you and Onyx at 3:30. I hope he's feeling better soon. Take care, Clive.
We Handle Setup

How It Works

Step 01
01

Connect your clinic phone and PIMS

Our team integrates with your clinic number and practice management system — no hardware changes, no in-house IT. Cornerstone, AVImark, ezyVet, Shepherd, Digitail, Provet, Instinct — or any platform, via custom integration.

Step 02
02

AI triages, schedules, and intakes every call

Pet owners speak naturally to the AI. It identifies the reason for the call, asks your clinic's triage questions, books appointments by species, procedure, and DVM preference, handles refill requests, and escalates real emergencies to your on-call DVM.

Step 03
03

Appointments and intake sync to your PIMS

Every appointment lands in your PIMS with species, weight, reason, DVM preference, and intake history. Refill requests queue for DVM approval. After-hours triage transcripts arrive in your morning inbox — fully reviewed, fully auditable.

Time to live
10–14 business days

Our team handles triage-protocol design, voice tuning, PIMS integration, and a parallel test phase against real call recordings — so the day you switch over, the AI already sounds like your clinic.

Built for how vet clinics actually take calls

Every capability designed around triage, scheduling, and compassionate intake — not adapted from a generic call-center tool.

Species- and procedure-aware scheduling

Not every slot is 15 minutes. A dental with extractions for a 90 lb Great Dane is not a kitten vaccine. Brainova is configured per-clinic: procedure duration by species and weight, DVM preference routing, surgery block protection, boarding and grooming on parallel calendars.

Triage, not diagnose

Configured to your state or provincial college's rules (AAVSB in the US, CVMA in Canada). The AI identifies urgency signals — pale gums, open trauma, seizures, parvo exposure — and hands off to your on-call DVM instantly. It never prescribes, never diagnoses, and every call is auditable.

Natural, compassionate voice

Callers speak freely — no phone trees, no menus. The AI detects grief, panic, and emergency in both tone and content, and routes to a human every time the moment calls for one.

Refill requests, handled

Moves the 20+ daily refill calls off your front desk. Collects pet, medication, quantity, and pharmacy — then queues to the assigned DVM for approval. Controlled substances always route to a human.

Reminders that actually recover revenue

Vaccine, heartworm, dental, and recheck reminders sent via SMS and email — with confirmation capture. Declined-estimate follow-ups at 48 hours. Multi-touch sequences reduce no-shows 30–60%.

Full transcripts & analytics

Every call transcribed, scored, and tagged by reason. See call-abandonment, no-show trends, refill volume, and after-hours emergencies. Syncs with Cornerstone, AVImark, ezyVet, Shepherd, Digitail, PetDesk, and more.

Whatever your clinic handles — the AI is tuned for it

Four real-clinic scenarios showing how different practice types use Brainova Talk — plus pre-configured flows for every patient type you see.

1

Solo practice after-hours triage

A DVM-owner with no overnight staff. After 6pm, the AI answers every call, asks your triage questions, schedules non-urgent calls for the morning, and pages you via text only for true emergencies. Your pager stops ringing for toenail questions.

  • 24/7 answering within 2 rings
  • Triage protocol configured to your clinic's rules
  • Pages you only on true emergencies
  • Morning report of every after-hours call
2

Multi-DVM appointment routing

A 4-DVM hospital where some DVMs do dentals, one does exotics, and one is cats-only. The AI identifies the procedure, the species, and the owner's DVM preference — and books into the right calendar on the first call.

  • Species- and procedure-aware booking
  • DVM preference routing
  • Surgery block protection
  • Honors existing-client relationships
3

Prescription refill overload

A busy small-animal practice where refills eat 20+ calls a day. The AI collects pet name, medication, quantity, and pharmacy; queues the request for the assigned DVM; and texts the owner when the pharmacy is filled.

  • Controlled substances always human-routed
  • PIMS-synced refill history
  • Owner-facing SMS confirmations
  • DVM approval dashboard
4

Emergency / referral hospital overflow

A referral center where the phone gates a stressed pet owner and a primary DVM's referral fax at the same time. The AI fields both streams — flagging STAT cases, scheduling non-urgent workups, and relaying handoff info directly into your PIMS note.

  • STAT recognition on trauma, parvo, HBC, seizure cues
  • Primary-DVM identified for handoff
  • Multi-line, no-busy-signal coverage
  • Triage log ready for the receiving DVM

Pre-configured flows for every patient type

Small Animal

Dogs and cats — wellness, sick visits, surgical, dental

Exotic & Avian

Reptiles, rabbits, birds — routed to exotic-qualified DVMs

Senior & Hospice

Compassion-first tone for grief and end-of-life calls

Emergency / Urgent Care

STAT detection, auto-escalation to on-call DVM

Dental & Surgery

Block-scheduled with automatic fasting reminders

Boarding & Grooming

Parallel-calendar handling, vaccine verification

Preventive & Wellness

Vaccines, heartworm, flea and tick, annual exams

Referral & Specialty

Ortho, neuro, oncology — primary-DVM handoff built in

What veterinary teams are saying

We're two DVMs and three techs. Brainova handles every after-hours call and half our refill requests. Our receptionist took a full lunch break three days last week — she hasn't done that in two years.

SM

Dr. Sarah Maren, DVM

Owner, Maren Animal Hospital

General Practice

The phone used to be the number one reason techs quit. Now the techs are with the animals and the phones are still answered. We cut no-shows 31% with the reminder flow alone.

Jessica Holt, CVPM

Practice Manager, Alpine Pet Clinic

Multi-DVM Practice

ER work is chaos at 2am. The AI triages every call, flags the trauma and parvo cases to my cell, and lets the non-urgent callers book into primary care for the morning. I actually slept through last Tuesday.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the Service

No — and that's the design. Brainova triages, intakes, schedules, and informs. It never diagnoses, never prescribes, and hands off to your on-call DVM on any clinical question. Every call is logged and auditable. The triage rules are configured per-clinic to align with your state board or provincial college (AAVSB in the US, CVMA/CVO/CVBC in Canada), so you stay license-safe by design.

Yes. We integrate with Cornerstone (IDEXX), AVImark, ezyVet, Shepherd, Digitail, Provet Cloud, Instinct, IDEXX Neo, Vetter, Pulse (Covetrus), DaySmart Vet, and more. If your clinic uses a different platform — a niche regional tool or a legacy system — we build the integration for you. Our team handles the full setup, including per-clinic appointment taxonomy (procedure duration, DVM preference, species, room and resource rules). No in-house development is required on your end.

You define what counts as urgent — trauma, seizures, parvo exposure, respiratory distress, HBC, heatstroke, toxicity, obstructions, whatever your on-call DVM wants paged for. When the AI hears those signals in natural conversation, it immediately texts and emails the on-call DVM with the caller's number and a situation summary. Non-urgent callers are booked into the morning schedule with a follow-up confirmation. You get a clean morning report of every call — reviewed, tagged, searchable.

All data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Infrastructure is built to SOC 2 Type II standards, with formal audit underway. Your clinic's data is fully isolated — never shared with other practices and never used to train AI models. In Canada, we operate in line with PIPEDA; in the US, we match industry-standard controls for veterinary records (not HIPAA-covered, but held to the same bar). Full retention-policy configuration is yours.

Yes — and it routes controlled substances (gabapentin, trazodone, phenobarbital, tramadol) to a human DVM every time. For non-controlled refills, the AI collects pet name, medication, quantity, and the owner's preferred pharmacy; queues the request to the assigned DVM for approval; and sends the owner an SMS when the pharmacy is filled. One clinic we onboarded moved 20+ refill calls per day out of their front-desk queue within two weeks.

Getting Started

Yes — and you control the disclosure language. Brainova supports configurable disclosure at the start of every call, intake, or recording. The default is transparent: the AI introduces itself as your clinic's assistant. Compassion-appropriate tone is a design principle — on grief, euthanasia inquiries, or escalated distress, the AI hands off to a human immediately, even when it would otherwise complete the task.

These are the calls that matter most. Brainova is configured to detect grief signals in tone and content — pet loss, end-of-life decisions, sympathy card requests — and hand off to your team every time. For scheduled follow-ups like paw-print delivery or sympathy outreach, the AI can manage the logistics (scheduling the call, preparing the contact record) so your team does the human part without the task-management overhead.

The AI collects everything your front desk would: owner name and contact, pet name, species, breed, age, sex, intact/neutered status, known allergies, current medications, previous vet for records-request, reason for visit, and insurance status. It books into your PIMS with the right appointment type by species and procedure. You can customize every question — nothing is a fixed script.

Every call is transcribed, scored for confidence, and flagged for human review when the AI is uncertain — unusual case, garbled audio, unfamiliar scenario, or any request that edges toward clinical advice. Flagged calls go to your designated reviewer (manager, lead tech, or DVM) before the appointment is confirmed. The AI can also hand off mid-call to voicemail or your on-call staff based on rules you set. You see every transcript, every booking, and every escalation in one dashboard.

Plans are custom — they scale with call volume, number of DVMs, PIMS complexity, and the level of after-hours coverage your clinic needs. Most clinics invest in the low-to-mid four figures per month, all-in: setup, per-clinic configuration, PIMS integration, ongoing optimization, human review tooling, and compliance alignment included. There is no separate setup fee and no annual lock-in by default — most clinics run month-to-month so you only keep going if it's working. We'll quote your clinic's exact number on the demo call.

Last updated:

Your next $4,000 patient will call at 9pm.

Make sure someone picks up. Brainova Talk answers every call 24/7, triages after-hours emergencies, books appointments into Cornerstone, ezyVet, AVImark, or your existing PIMS — before the pet family calls the next clinic on Google.
