About
PetDesk is a full-featured veterinary software platform designed to help clinics operate more efficiently, communicate better with pet owners, and grow their practice. Used by more than 12,000 veterinary practices, PetDesk addresses the core operational challenges facing modern vet clinics — from overwhelming phone volume to high no-show rates and time-consuming documentation. The platform offers a powerful suite of tools including automated appointment reminders, two-way SMS texting, online booking, digital intake forms, and pre-appointment deposit collection. These features alone have helped clinics reduce inbound calls by up to 40% and lower no-show rates by up to 90%. PetDesk also features AI-powered SOAP note generation, enabling veterinarians to document patient encounters faster and more accurately. Its PIMS-integrated phone system links call data directly to patient records, streamlining front-desk workflows and saving teams over 72 hours per month on average. For practice growth, PetDesk provides done-for-you websites, SEO, social media marketing, Google Ads, and graphic design services, plus client loyalty programs to improve retention. The PetDesk mobile app lets pet owners self-serve — booking appointments, requesting refills, and messaging the clinic directly. PetDesk is ideal for independent veterinary clinics, multi-location practices, and specialty hospitals looking to modernize operations, reduce staff burden, and deliver a better client experience.
