Vaccines and wellness visits coming due
Anyone due or overdue gets a friendly text with a way to book, instead of someone working down a call list.
Pets coming due get a friendly text, then a couple of reminders, until their owner books.
The texts it sends
Schedule
- Hi Jenna, this is an automatic text from Example Animal Clinic. Your pet is due for their yearly visit. Book at [link] or reply YES and we'll call you with times. Reply STOP to opt out.
- Hi Jenna, just a reminder from Example Animal Clinic that your pet is still due for their yearly visit. Reply YES and we'll find a time that works, or book at [link].
- Hi Jenna, we haven't seen your pet's yearly visit on the books yet. If you've moved or switched clinics, reply MOVED and we'll update our records. Otherwise reply YES and we'll get you scheduled.
Why it matters: A review of 29 studies found reminders cut missed appointments by about a third on average (Hasvold & Wootton, Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare). Source
Missed call at closing time
When nobody can pick up, the caller gets a text within a minute, so they don't just call the next name on Google.

The money part
What a veterinary clinic often pays every month, and what it could keep
These are the tools veterinary clinic owners most often pay a monthly bill for, at their published or reported prices. Tick the ones you pay for, pick your plan, or type your real bill. The math is yours to check.
Keep Weave on Base Plan ($199/mo). Praxis adds the texting extras you moved up for.

What Praxis builds instead: review-request texts after each job, two-way texting from your own number and missed-call text-back.

What you pay now, and what you'd pay after (0 if Praxis replaces it, or the cheaper plan's price).
Software you'd keep (accounting, practice or shop records, payroll) isn't on this list: Praxis works alongside it, it doesn't replace it. Prices change; every one below links to where it came from.

What missed calls could be costing you
The other side of the money: the work that slips away today. Type in your own numbers.
The starting numbers are examples for a typical veterinary clinic business, not yours. Type your own; nothing you type leaves this page. In a 2025 survey of 1,000 US consumers, 82% said they would call a competitor when a business didn't answer (CallRail, as reported by AINORA). Source
Who builds it
One person you can call
I'm Chris, and I run Praxis AI Solutions out of Mason City, Iowa. When something needs changing, you call or text me, not a support line. In the real version, pets coming due would get reminder texts until someone books, missed calls would get a text back within a minute, and the website assistant would answer hours, refill, and emergency-routing questions after you close. You approve every message and every answer before anything goes live, and you can change or turn off any part of it whenever you like.
(641) 530-2599- One price, in writing, before you pay a dime.
- Nothing sends, posts or charges without your okay.
- You own what I build. It keeps working even if we never talk again.
- If I can't build it, there's no charge.
