How a checkout turns into a Google review

Pet parents who loved the visit rarely think to post about it. So the ask goes to them: one brief message from your practice number, linked to your Google review form.

  1. A pet parent's phone as his dog heads home after a dental: checked out at the desk, $612.40 paid with Apple Pay, and the receipt with go-home notes.

    4 p.m.

    Max goes home

    Max heads home after a dental, and the visit is checked out in your PIMS.

  2. A pet parent's phone two hours after checkout, with a thank-you text from CompanionBooked Animal Hospital asking for a Google review.

    6 p.m.

    A text from the practice

    A short thank-you from your practice number asks for a Google review.

  3. Ben's five-star Google review from 8 p.m. about Max's dental, with the practice's reply posted by our team the next morning.

    8 p.m.

    Five stars, then a reply

    The pet parent taps the link and posts five stars from the couch. By morning our team has replied for you.

What we run

The review work nobody at your practice has time for

Your practice manager already owns the phones, the schedule and the vendor bills. We take review requests, replies and surveys off that list.

Ask

One ask per visit, sent from the practice line

Each pet parent gets one polite text after the visit; a single tap opens your Google listing, ready for a review.

  • Timed for the evening, once the pet is home and settled.
  • Reviews land on your Google Maps listing, where new pet parents compare vets.

5 questions

What brings a vet clinic more Google reviews?

More Google reviews come from asking every pet parent after every visit, by text, with one tap to your review page.

What time is the review text sent?

The review request is sent once the visit is checked out, timed for the evening when the pet parent is home. You pick how long after.

How should we answer a bad review without discussing the pet?

Thank them, keep it general and offer a call; never confirm the visit or name the pet.

Can you write the replies for us?

Yes, our team answers each Google review in your practice's name. AI drafts each one from rules you set for each star rating, our team checks it, and low ratings go to your manager first.

Is there a satisfaction survey?

Yes, a short survey goes by text after each visit. Pet parents score the visit and add a comment, and low scores reach your practice manager the same day.
