7 pressing questions about digitalization - and how we at Petleo solve them

Many vets, veterinary physiotherapists and other animal service providers face the same challenge: How do I digitize my appointment scheduling without losing control? There is great concern that customers will book the wrong appointments, emergencies will be overlooked or personal contact will suffer. We understand this - and that's exactly why we developed Petleo so that you retain full control at all times. We also guide you personally through the entire setup process and adapt the system precisely to your practice processes. Here are the most frequently asked questions - and our solutions.

‍1. fear of double bookings - "What if two customers book the same appointment?"

Double bookings are a nightmare for any practice - but modern systems prevent exactly that.

Real-time synchronization with your practice calendar (e.g. Vetera, Google Calendar)
Automatic blocking of already booked time slots
Clear appointment confirmations for customers

💡 O ur solution: Petleo synchronizes in real time with your practice software - double bookings are eliminated.

2. uncertainty about appointment reasons - "What if customers book the wrong appointment?"

Not every pet owner knows which type of appointment is the right one - vaccinations, blood tests or operations have different requirements.

Define individual appointment types - you determine which services can be booked online
Targeted questions during the booking process - so that the right appointment is selected
Automatic notifications in the event of unclear information

💡 O ur solution: We store specific questions and rules so that customers automatically select the right appointment type - no misunderstandings!

3. no control over emergencies - "How can I ensure that emergencies are not booked online?"

It would be fatal if an animal with acute bleeding or respiratory distress were not given an appointment for two days. That is why we have integrated special safety mechanisms.

Filter for emergency keywords such as "pain", "bleeding", "shortness of breath"
Automatic prompt to call directly with critical information
Exclusive emergency time slots that can only be assigned by phone

💡 O ur solution: If customers enter "emergency" relevant terms, no appointment is booked - instead they receive a request to call you immediately.

4. inflexible scheduling - "Does the system fit my daily practice routine?"

Every practice has its own structures - and digital appointment booking systems have to adapt to them.

✅ S et individual booking times - you decide when online appointments are possible
Define different appointment lengths - from 15 to 60 minutes or more
Schedule buffer times between appointments

💡 O ur solution: For example, you can block mornings for surgeries, store lunch breaks or automatically give new customers more time - everything is adapted precisely to your processes.

5. no-shows & cancellations at short notice - "What if customers simply don't show up?"

No-shows cost valuable time and sales. Our system helps to avoid this:

Automatic reminders by SMS & email (1-2 days before the appointment)
Optional confirmation requirement for customers
Registration only with verified contact details

💡 O ur solution: Automatic reminders reduce the no-show rate by up to 70%!

6. data and IT security concerns - "Is my practice software protected?"

Data protection and IT security are essential for veterinary practices and clinics.

GDPR-compliant storage of all data
End-to-end encryption for maximum security
Regular backups & security updates

💡 O ur solution: Petleo meets the highest security standards (ISO 27001) - your data remains protected!

7. customer contact - "Will I lose personal contact with my customers through online bookings?"

Many fear that they will lose personal contact with their customers as a result of fewer telephone appointments. The opposite is the case:

More time for personal consultations because telephone inquiries are reduced
Less administrative work so that the team can focus more on patients
Better customer loyalty thanks to automated reminders and follow-ups

💡 O ur solution: Many of our customers report that Petleo enables them to provide their patients with even more personalized care - because they finally have more time!

💡 Conclusion: Digitization means more control - not less!

Digitization doesn't take control away from you - it gives you more! With Petleo, you can manage your appointments efficiently, offer your customers a modern service and save valuable time.
