For veterinary clinics across Canada

AI receptionist for veterinary clinics

Infold is a managed AI receptionist for veterinary clinics in Canada. It books wellness and sick visits, takes refill requests for a vet to approve and routes urgent calls by your rules — while your team is in surgery or closed for the night. It never diagnoses or suggests treatment.

Why do calls go unanswered at veterinary clinics?

Because the people who could answer are busy doing the work — and after hours, nobody is there. Here’s where it hurts most.

Your phone, without an answer

  • Voicemail — no message 6:55 AM · Before opening
  • Rang out 8:10 AM · Surgery drop-offs at the desk
  • Voicemail — message left 9:40 AM · Team in surgery
Illustrative · the same day as below, without an answer
  1. Every line lights up at 8 AM.

    Overnight worries, refill requests and vaccine bookings all land while your team is checking in the day’s surgeries.

  2. Worried owners can’t wait for a callback.

    An owner whose dog just ate a chocolate bar needs your instruction in minutes — come in now, or go to the emergency hospital — not a voicemail greeting.

  3. Refill and food requests pile up as voicemails.

    Each one means finding the chart, checking with a vet and calling back — and the owner may call twice before anyone gets there.

  4. After hours, panicked owners miss the emergency number.

    Your recording lists the emergency hospital, but someone holding a sick cat doesn’t catch it. They need it said clearly — and sent to their phone.

What it handles

What does Infold handle for veterinary clinics?

The calls your team takes every day — answered your way, at any hour you choose.

Urgent calls, routed by your rules

A toxin, trouble breathing, a cat straining to urinate, a bloated belly — signs on your urgent list follow your rule. After hours, owners get your emergency hospital’s address by text.

  • Urgent rule matched: toxin
  • First slot booked, 8:00 AM
  • Vet alerted with the details

Wellness, vaccine and sick visits

Books annual exams, vaccines, sick visits and rechecks with the right vet and the right length — including the spring rush for heartworm tests and tick prevention.

Refill and diet requests

Takes the pet, the medication or diet, the dose from the label and pickup preference, then sends it to your team. A vet approves every refill — it never does.

Fear-free notes on the booking

Asks what makes visits hard — nervous around other dogs, needs a quiet room, hard to handle — and adds it to the appointment so your team can plan ahead.

Hard calls handled gently

Calls about euthanasia or a pet that has died go to a person during hours, or get a quiet, unhurried message and a first-thing callback.

Sample call

What does a call sound like?

Like a good front desk. Before opening at Maplewood Vet Clinic: the caller gets an answer, a time and a text — and your team gets the details.

  • Says up front that it’s your AI assistant
  • Answers only from information you approve
  • Books, texts and escalates by your rules

The business and caller are fictional; the workflow is how Infold handles it. Hear more sample calls.

Intake and rules

It asks what your team would ask — and follows your rules.

What details does it collect?

New call summary Texted to your team · 6:55 AM
  • Owner name and best callback number
  • Pet name, species, breed and age
  • New or existing client
  • What’s going on, in the owner’s words — and since when
  • For a possible toxin: what, how much and when
  • Medication and label details for refill requests
  • Notes for a low-stress visit

What rules does it follow?

  1. No veterinary advice: it never diagnoses, suggests home remedies or doses, or tells an owner to wait and see.
  2. Signs on your urgent list follow your rule straight away — come in now, alert the vet on duty, or go to the emergency hospital you refer to.
  3. Refills are requests, never approvals: every one goes to your team for a vet’s sign-off.
  4. Euthanasia and end-of-life calls go to a person whenever someone is available.
  5. It quotes only the prices you approve, such as exam fees, and leaves estimates for surgery and dentistry to your team.

Can an AI receptionist book into AVImark, Cornerstone or ezyVet?

ezyVet, AVImark, Cornerstone, Vetspire and Provet Cloud are connected during setup; Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 connect today. What Infold can do in each depends on what that system allows; where it can’t book directly, it holds the request and texts your team to confirm.

Does it give veterinary advice?

No. It never diagnoses, suggests home treatment or doses, or tells an owner to wait and see. It follows your urgent rules and sends medical questions to your team.

What happens when an owner calls about a possible emergency?

It checks what the owner describes against your urgent list — for example a toxin, trouble breathing, a cat straining to urinate or a bloated belly — and follows your rule: come in now, alert the vet on duty, or go to your emergency hospital. After hours, it gives the hospital’s name and address and texts them to the owner.

Can it handle prescription refill requests?

It takes the request — pet, medication, dose from the label, pickup preference — and sends it to your team. A vet approves every refill; it never does.

Can it flag pets that need a low-stress visit?

Yes. It asks what makes visits hard — nervous around other dogs, needs a quiet room, hard to handle — adds it to the booking, and offers the quieter times you choose.

How does it handle euthanasia calls?

With care. During hours, those calls go to a person on your team. After hours, it takes a gentle, unhurried message and flags it for a first-thing callback.

Will pet owners know they’re talking to an AI?

Yes. It says it’s your clinic’s AI assistant at the start of the call. Owners who want a person are transferred during hours or called back.

Where is client and pet information stored?

In Canada by default, with Canada-only processing available. It collects only what your intake asks for. You set how long recordings and transcripts are kept, your calls are never used to train models shared with other customers, and our data processing agreement is available on request. The details are on our trust page.
