Pros
PetDesk has been very useful for scheduling appointments and refilling medications, and it has been wonderful for communicating with clients, especially texting.
All the functions are easy to use. My favorite option is the loyalty program and the customer service is outstanding.
I like the ease of use for this product and the awesome app for our clients to use. The team of representatives for this company are stellar.
Cons
However, some clients cancel their appointments on accident and we always have to call them to confirm their cancellation anyways.
I know you've implemented "valid number" next to client phone numbers but it's still confusing and takes more time to send clients messages.
The only thing that we don't like about PetDesk is the limited character count when communicating with clients.

PetDesk is quality

Reviewed 6 years ago

The customer service aspect is great. They are always friendly and helpful. Our account manager checks in from time to time to see if we need any materials or a refresher training. They've just been great throughout the whole time we've used PetDesk.

Pros

The ease of use and seamless integration with our ImproMed software. Our clients love it!

Cons

If a client has two appointments for two pets in one day(say,Fluffy at 10am & Charlie at 4pm), PetDesk will only confirm the first appointment TIME, but will include both pets names. This has caused confusion and double bookings.

Excellent commincations tool

Reviewed 4 years ago

Excellent!

Pros

Easy for our clients to request appointments and maintain their pet's health records. Easy for us to communicate. We added text messaging which has helped.

Cons

There are some issues when suggesting alternate times to clients. In some cases clients don't realize this is not their original appt request for the original date/time. It would also be nice to get better history and tracking of the conversations we had with clients to be able to go back and know who said what and when and what happened. Some of this is there, but it could use more reference data - time and date stamps.

Love this app, but needs a little work

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

I love this application for communicating with my veterinarian and keeping track of my dogs medications, appointments, and vaccination statuses.

Cons

The application isn't very user friendly and needs a bit of cleaning up. It doesn't track the fact that I have scheduled time for my dog to be boarded at the vet. It also isn't the best tool for communicating directly with my vet with questions or trying to figure out the best appointment time on a particular day.

Objective thoughts on how PetDesk helped us

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall highly recommend. Have used for 18 months at two veterinary hospitals. It has some features like Compliance Report, or other reporting, that I do not utilize very much. I primarily utilize for appointment request functionality, loyalty program, app for clients, and text communication - these work very well even if they are slightly imperfect with no bi-directional integration with our practice...

Pros

The texting functionality is great and easy to use. We reach clients by text that we can't reach by phone (or they just don't answer or check voicemails). Communication is ESSENTIAL in our line of work. Appointment requests are also quite straightforward to setup and manage once setup. Customer support has been top notch. Automatic appointment confirmation is a big time saver.

Cons

Lack of integration with our practice software evetpractice - the appointment request system has no ability to sync with our appointment calendar. Communication with clients by text doesn't auto-import into medical records. This means many small steps need to be done twice by team members (or appointment auto-confirmations need to be quickly entered in the practice software, although it does save a lot of time even so). Even with these cons, it is still worth using and broadly helpful.

Excellent veterinary support software.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Positive experience overall. The appointment reminder texts/emails have been outstanding. The reduction in no calls/no shows is super helpful, as well as the appointment confirmation reminders generating cancellations that are not last minute. This allows the clinic to make much better use of it's already stretched resources. I do like the provision of a company website, and I would like to do more customization with it in the near future.

Pros

The biggest selling point of PetDesk for my clinic was the automated due date and appointment reminders. We didn't have a large amount of no calls/no shows prior to PetDesk implementation, but now that we use PetDesk that number is the smallest is has ever been. Our no calls/no shows are in the single digits each week. No longer having to print out and stamp/mail hundreds of reminder postcards every month is another thing I will definitely not miss.

Cons

I wish there was a way to filter out or prevent certain kinds of appointment requests. For example, I manage a single doctor practice and this DVM has a MASSIVE clientele. He is booked out 1-2 weeks constantly. We ceased to take new clients a couple years ago in hopes that he could get his work load under control (still a work in progress). I get a large number of requests from new clients, and I...
