01 / AFTER HOURS
3 AM emergency call. Voicemail. Pet owner panics.
They need reassurance and a clear next step. An unanswered phone sends them searching for another clinic.
AI receptionist for vet clinicsPet owners call when their animal is sick — not when it’s convenient for your front desk.
Plenty of vet calls come in after hours or when the desk is flat out. Pet owners are anxious, emotional and impatient. DrKing answers calls when your team can’t, flags possible emergencies using your rules and books routine visits, so fewer worried owners hear voicemail.
Built for Australian vet clinics. Here for their humans, too.

You care for the pets. Who’s caring for the calls?
A missed call is more than
a missed appointment.
There’s a worried human on the other end. And a busy team doing their very best.
02 / THE MIDDAY RUSH
Lunch time = call volume spike = unanswered phones.
Your reception team can’t be in two places at once. Caring for the pet in front of them shouldn’t cost the next booking.
03 / THE EVERYDAY ENQUIRIES
Boarding and grooming enquiries buried under urgent calls.
Routine questions still deserve a thoughtful answer. Keep them moving without distracting your clinical team.
The quiet cost of being closed
Small missed moments. They add up fast.
When after-hours calls go to voicemail, worried owners often ring another clinic. Each one is a visit, and a relationship, your team never got to start.

Good questions. Clear answers.
A few things
you might
be wondering.
Because choosing a voice for your clinic is a personal decision.
Can it handle emergency triage?
Yes. DrKing can gather symptoms and contact details, follow your clinic’s triage protocols, and escalate potential emergencies to your team or nominated emergency vet. It supports the first response; it does not diagnose, prescribe or replace a veterinarian.
Does it know which calls are urgent?
DrKing uses the information a caller provides and your clinic’s escalation rules to flag potentially urgent cases. If urgency is unclear, the call should be escalated for human review rather than treated as routine. Your team sets the protocols and emergency contacts.
Can pet owners book online?
Yes. Pet owners can book routine appointments online using the availability and appointment types your clinic makes available. Potential emergencies are directed to urgent assistance rather than a routine booking.
Does it work for multi-vet practices?
Yes. DrKing can support multi-vet practices with booking rules for different vets, appointment types and locations. Availability and routing are configured for your practice during setup.
Can it send care instructions after visits?
Yes. DrKing can send follow-up care instructions that your veterinary team has approved, along with confirmations and reminders. It shares your guidance; it does not generate a diagnosis or independently change a pet’s treatment plan.
