Self-booking for pet owners

Online vet appointment booking that respects your vets' hours

Share one booking link on WhatsApp, Instagram, Google or your website. Owners see only real free slots from each vet's working hours, pick a consult, vaccination, video consult or home visit, and you approve the request with one tap.

In short: Pet Clinic Software online booking gives each clinic a booking page at petclinicsoftware.com/book/your-clinic. Slots come only from each vet's working hours minus days off and existing appointments. New owners' requests hold the slot until reception approves; owners signed in to the pet-parent portal are booked straight in. Captcha, rate limits and WhatsApp confirmations in English, Tamil or Hindi are built in. Included in every plan from ₹1,499 a month.

Sample data: illustrative screen, not a real clinic.

Live in every plan. The booking page opens on our site; for security it cannot be framed inside another website, so the "widget" is a button or link you add to your site.

What makes the booking page safe for a busy clinic?

Only real working hours

Two blocks a day per vet (for example 10–1 and 5–9), slot length per block, days off and existing appointments are all respected.

You approve new clients

A request from someone new holds the slot until reception approves or declines. Declined owners get a link to pick another time.

Captcha and limits

Captcha, a hidden honeypot field, a time trap, six requests per network an hour and three open requests per phone a day stop spam bookings.

Lead time and horizon

Set how far ahead owners must book (for example 60 minutes) and how many days ahead they can see (up to 60).

Video and home visits

Offer video consults in chosen blocks and home visits with an address field and your fees shown up front.

Telemedicine →

Confirmations in their language

Requests, approvals and reminders go out in English, Tamil or Hindi on WhatsApp, with SMS fallback for owners who consent.

Why do Indian clinics need booking that is not a free-for-all?

Most clinics in India run split shifts, a walk-in queue and vets who also do surgery or farm rounds. A generic booking widget that shows every 15 minutes from 9 to 9 creates double bookings and angry owners. Pet Clinic Software reads each vet's actual hours, leaves out days off and blocks any time already booked at the desk, on the portal or held by another online request.

Existing clients who use the pet-parent portal are already verified, so their bookings go straight into the appointment book. Requests from new numbers wait for one tap from reception, which keeps prank and duplicate bookings out of the day list. Vaccine reminders can carry the booking link, so a reminder turns into a booked slot without a phone call; see vaccination reminders.

Frequently asked questions

Can I embed the booking page in my clinic website?

You add a button or link to your website that opens your booking page on petclinicsoftware.com. Framing it inside another site is blocked on purpose, to protect owners' details from look-alike pages.

Do online bookings respect each vet's schedule?

Yes. Slots come only from each vet's working hours (up to two blocks a day), minus days off, existing appointments and other held requests, plus your minimum lead time and booking horizon.

How do you stop fake or spam bookings?

Every request needs a captcha, passes a honeypot and time check, and is limited per network and per phone number. Requests from new numbers hold the slot only until reception approves or declines them.

Does online booking cost extra?

No. It is included in every plan from ₹1,499 a month. Only the WhatsApp or SMS confirmations are charged at cost from the prepaid wallet.
