Your clients crave ease and personalization. The standard routine of calling a clinic, getting placed on hold, and then trying to sync schedules based on availability doesn't fit today's workflows. Some veterinary practices have bridged this communication gap with an app. Perhaps your practice is one of them. Though having an app is a good first step, its success depends on your clients' need and motivation to adopt and use it. Here are some other ways you can drive use of your app: Emphasize convenience: Highlight how the app allows them to book appointments quickly and easily, avoiding the hassle of phone calls and wait times. Show them how simple it is to navigate and schedule from their smartphone. Utilize reminders: Explain how the app helps manage their busy schedules by sending reminders for appointments and essential pet care tasks like administering medication. These reminders can reduce missed appointments and improve pet health. Appeal to preferences: Mention that many people, especially millennials and Gen Z, prefer digital solutions for booking appointments in human healthcare. Draw parallels to pet care, suggesting that using the app provides a similar level of convenience and control. Looking for an app that builds stronger bonds with clients?

In addition to cost, the physical location of clinics—or the lack thereof—has a significant impact on veterinary care access. Several issues influence this access, including: ✅ Lack of appropriate facilities for differently-abled individuals, such as wheelchair access and Braille signage. ✅ Language barriers between pet parents and veterinarians. ✅ Client availability during typical veterinary workday hours due to jobs with long or unpredictable schedules. ✅ Clients without personal or public transportation means, including the cost of safely transporting pets with a leash or carrier. Addressing these barriers requires innovative approaches that consider diverse client needs and circumstances. Telemedicine brings healthcare directly into clients' homes, making veterinary care more accessible and personable than ever before. Consider the time and stress associated with taking a pet to an appointment: missing work, transporting nervous pets, sitting in traffic, and worrying about arriving late. What if pet owners could connect with you remotely? This might influence their decision to choose your practice over a competitor’s and ensure their pets stay compliant with necessary treatments. Embracing telehealth not only aligns with modern convenience but also signals a shift toward more equitable healthcare access for pets.

Do you often get asked “why does ‘Bella’ do that?” Communication and education from veterinarian teams can help reframe perceptions of pets’ behavior. Offer clients reputable consumer-facing pet behavior resources so your clients can better meet pets’ needs and improve challenging behaviors. In addition, consider keeping a small library of reputable pet behavior books for the veterinary team to read and/or to lend to clients. For more information on ways to assist your clients in learning more about their pet’s behavior, read our Insights article on “Pet behavior insights for owners” - https://lnkd.in/eMvwMKFj
