After-hours & emergency intake

After-hours vet requests, routed to your clinic

A scared owner at 2 AM shouldn't hit a chatbot that says "leave your number." This intake takes the pet, the owner's own words, and their contact, then routes the request to your clinic — while pointing true emergencies to call right away.

The questions this niche actually needs

A blank “how can we help?” box gets you a callback and three more questions. Here's what the emergency veterinary intake asks up front, so the request arrives ready to act on.

  • What kind of pet is it?
  • What are you seeing, in your own words?
  • When are you hoping to be seen?
  • Is your pet already a patient at this clinic?
  • Anything you'd like the front desk to know?

Try it — this is the real form

The same engine a paying business would use, running in demo mode. Answer a couple of questions and watch the brief that would land in the owner's inbox. Nothing is emailed and no account is created.

What are you seeing? (in your own words)
This sends a request to the clinic and isn't watched in real time.

Answer on the left — each answer prints here, then the finished brief lands after you submit.

What the photo does here

If it helps, an owner can attach a photo of the package or plant their pet got into, or the pet's tag — plain context the front desk can pass along. It is never reviewed as a diagnosis and the form makes no medical assessment; a true emergency means calling the clinic or nearest ER right away.

Meanwhile, in the owner's inbox · 1:52 AM CT
Request: Emergency veterinary — after-hours
In the owner's words: "ate part of a chocolate bar about an hour ago"
Hoping to be seen: As soon as possible
Pet: Dog · Existing patient: yes
Location: 80203
Preferred contact: phone

Front-desk routing note: after-hours request from an existing client — route to
the on-call team to call the owner back. No medical assessment is made from this
form; the owner was shown the emergency-line message on submit.

What “structured intake” means here

For an emergency veterinary clinic, structured intake is a hosted request form that captures the pet, the owner's own description, and their contact, then routes it to the clinic's team. It is booking and intake only — it collects what the owner chooses to share and makes no medical judgment, so the clinic decides next steps, not the form.

Where this is the wrong tool

This takes requests for a single clinic — it is not a triage line, a symptom checker, or medical advice, and it never tells an owner how urgent their pet's condition is. For a life-threatening emergency, owners are told to call the clinic or nearest ER directly.
