Stop Losing Clients to Voicemail

Every call that goes to voicemail is a client who might not call back. Puppilot's AI answers overflow calls instantly, books appointments in real time, and makes sure no opportunity slips through the cracks during your busiest hours.

Missed Calls

The Calls You're Missing Are Costing More Than You Think

Most clinics miss 15-20 calls per day during peak hours, lunch breaks, and after-hours. Each missed call represents a potential appointment, a worried pet owner, or an emergency that went unheard. Puppilot catches every call your team can't — turning lost opportunities into booked appointments and satisfied clients.

Instant Overflow Answering, Zero Hold Time

When your front desk is on another call, helping a client at the counter, or handling a walk-in emergency, Puppilot picks up the next call automatically. There's no hold music, no voicemail prompt, and no lost opportunity. The AI answers with your clinic's name and handles the call as if it were sitting at your front desk.

Capture New Clients on the First Call

A prospective client searching for a vet has three tabs open. The first clinic to answer and help wins the appointment. Puppilot ensures your clinic is always the one that picks up. It answers questions about services, pricing, and availability, then books the first appointment before the caller moves on.

See Every Call, Measure Every Dollar

Puppilot logs every call with a full transcript, outcome, and follow-up status. The analytics dashboard shows your peak call times, call resolution rates, appointments booked by AI, and estimated revenue captured from calls that would have otherwise gone to voicemail. You'll finally have the data to understand what phone coverage is really costing or saving you.

Client
Hi, I just moved to the area and I'm looking for a vet for my two cats. Do you accept new patients?
Puppilot
Welcome to the neighborhood! We absolutely accept new patients. We'd love to meet your cats. Could I get your name and a little information about them so I can help you schedule a first visit?
AI recognizes this as a new-client inquiry and prioritizes conversion by being warm and moving toward scheduling.
Client
Sure, I'm Rachel Torres. I have two indoor cats, Oliver and Mimi. Oliver is 6 and Mimi is 3. They both need their annual checkups and Oliver is due for his rabies booster.
Puppilot
Great, thanks Rachel. We can schedule Oliver and Mimi back-to-back so you only make one trip. For new patients, we do a comprehensive wellness exam that includes a full physical, vaccine review, and parasite screening. We have openings this Thursday at 2:00 PM and Friday at 10:00 AM. Would either of those work?
AI offers back-to-back slots to reduce friction and explains what new patients can expect.
Client
Thursday at 2 works perfectly. Do I need to bring anything?
Puppilot
Thursday at 2:00 PM is booked for both Oliver and Mimi. If you have any previous vet records, you can bring them along or we can request them from your previous clinic. I'll send you a text with a new-client registration form you can fill out ahead of time so the visit goes smoothly. Is there anything else I can help with?
AI books both appointments, initiates the onboarding workflow, and offers to transfer records from the previous vet.
Client
That's everything. Thank you so much, this was way easier than I expected!

Missed Calls: Common Questions

Does Puppilot replace my front desk staff?

No. Puppilot works alongside your team as an overflow safety net. Your staff continues to answer calls normally. The AI only picks up when all lines are busy, when staff are helping in-clinic clients, or outside business hours. It's designed to catch the calls that would otherwise go to voicemail.

How does the AI handle calls that need a human?

Puppilot is designed to recognize when a call requires human judgment. For clinical questions that go beyond the medical record, complex billing disputes, or emotional situations like end-of-life care, the AI lets the caller know their team will follow up and creates a prioritized callback request with full context from the conversation.

Can I control when the AI picks up versus my staff?

Yes. You configure the AI to answer after a set number of rings, during specific hours, or only when all lines are occupied. Many clinics use Puppilot as primary after-hours coverage and overflow-only during business hours, but the settings are fully customizable.

What if a client calls back and gets the AI when they expected a person?

The AI identifies itself as your clinic's virtual assistant and can immediately transfer to a staff member if one is available. It also has context from any previous calls, so the client doesn't need to repeat themselves. If staff are unavailable, the AI resolves the call or schedules a callback at a specific time.

How quickly can we get started?

Most clinics are live within a week. Setup involves connecting your phone system, integrating with your practice management software, and configuring your clinic's protocols and preferences. Puppilot handles the technical setup and provides a guided onboarding process.
