PetDesk Direct Booking lets pet parents schedule veterinary appointments at any time through a practice website or the PetDesk app.
What PetDesk Direct Booking is
PetDesk Direct Booking lets pet parents schedule veterinary appointments at any time through a practice website or the PetDesk app. The booking flow checks availability in real time and syncs appointments with the practice’s PIMS calendar to help prevent double bookings. Practices can set rules for services, provider preferences, and availability windows, with more than 200 customizations available. Keyword screening can flag urgent visits. Clients receive email confirmations and reminders, and can confirm, reschedule, or cancel appointments. Practices may also collect deposits or full payment during booking, and a Book Online button can connect scheduling to a practice’s Google Business Profile in Search and Maps. Listed PIMS integrations include Cornerstone, ezyVet, Covetrus Pulse, AVImark, Shepherd, Provet, and Vetspire; compatibility depends on the PetDesk product. The service is available on web, iOS, and Android. It is paid, with pricing based on practice needs and available on request; subscriptions are month-to-month without long-term contracts.
