Regular check-ups keep \[him/her\] healthy and catch issues early. Book here: \[link\]' - 11 months + 2 weeks (if not booked): SMS - 'Reminder: \[Pet Name\]'s annual wellness is overdue. We have availability this week - book your appointment: \[link\]' - 12 months (if still not booked): email from the vet - 'I want to make sure \[Pet Name\] stays on track with preventive care. Can we find a time this month?' - Track this per pet, not per client - multi-pet households get separate reminder sequences per animal ### Post-treatment follow-up - 3 days after any prescription dispensed or procedure: SMS - 'Hi \[Name\], just checking in on \[Pet Name\]. How is \[he/she\] responding to the treatment? Any concerns? Reply here or call us at \[number\].' - Any response flagged as concern → immediate internal alert to the vet or tech on duty - 7 days after surgery or significant procedure: 'Following up on \[Pet Name\]'s procedure. Everything looking good? Do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.' - Medication refill: 25 days after a 30-day medication dispensed: 'It is almost time to refill \[Pet Name\]'s \[medication\]. Book a quick recheck or call us to arrange a refill: \[link\]' ### Boarding and grooming upsell - Existing clients who have never boarded: seasonal SMS - 'Planning a trip this \[season\]? \[Clinic Name\] offers safe, comfortable boarding for existing patients. Book early - spots fill fast: \[link\]' - Post-wellness exam: 'We offer grooming services for existing patients. Would you like to add a grooming appointment while \[Pet Name\] is here today?' - staff prompt + follow-up SMS - Boarding clients at 3-month intervals: 'Your next trip is coming? \[Pet Name\] always has a great stay with us. Book early: \[link\]' ### Emergency after-hours communication - Missed call outside business hours → immediate SMS: 'Thank you for calling \[Clinic Name\]. We are currently closed. For emergencies, please contact \[Emergency Animal Hospital Name\] at \[number\]. We will be open \[next open time\] and will follow up with you then.' - This single automation prevents frustrated clients from calling a competitor emergency vet who may then become their primary vet --- ## FAQ ### Is GoHighLevel good for veterinary practices? Yes for the marketing and communication layer. GoHighLevel excels at annual wellness reminders, vaccination follow-ups, post-treatment check-ins, boarding upsells and review automation. It does not replace your practice management software. ### Can GoHighLevel track reminders for multiple pets per client? Yes. Create a separate contact record per pet linked to the owner as the primary contact, or use custom fields (Pet 1 Name, Pet 1 Species, Pet 1 Last Exam Date) on the owner contact. Per-pet reminder workflows trigger based on the pet-specific date fields. ### How does GoHighLevel help vet practices reduce no-shows? Automated reminders at 24 hours and 2 hours before each appointment via SMS reduce no-shows by 30-50%. A no-show triggered workflow immediately sends a reschedule link. ### Which GoHighLevel plan do veterinary practices need? Single-location practice: Starter at $97/mo. Multi-location veterinary group: Unlimited at $297/mo. Vet marketing agencies: Agency Pro at $497/mo. --- Start your 30-day free trial: [GoHighLevel 30-Day Free Trial](https://www.gohighlevel.com/details-ai-agency-white-label?fp%5Fref=details&ref=netpartners.marketing) --- Appointment scheduling: [GoHighLevel Appointment Scheduling](https://netpartners.marketing/gohighlevel-appointment-scheduling/) SMS automation: [GoHighLevel SMS Marketing 2026](https://netpartners.marketing/gohighlevel-sms/) Review automation: [GoHighLevel Reputation Management](https://netpartners.marketing/gohighlevel-reputation-management/) For spas - similar retention model: [GoHighLevel for Spas](https://netpartners.marketing/gohighlevel-for-spas/) Full pricing: [GoHighLevel Pricing Plans 2026](https://netpartners.marketing/gohighlevel-pricing-plans-explained-features-value-cost-comparison-2026/)
