Animal therapists: plan a post-surgery rehab programme

After surgery, a dog needs a rehab programme that follows the vet's plan: frequent sessions at first, then spaced out, with reviews along the way. If owners book each session themselves, the rhythm slips. With Book, owners book the first assessment on your own booking page, and you book the programme from your list so every session is in their calendar.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations are examples: set your own according to the rules that apply to you.

Say in the assessment description what owners should bring, such as the vet's referral and surgery report, and whether you need the vet's agreement before starting, according to the rules that apply to you. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email: ask for the dog's name, breed, age and date of surgery.

After the assessment, book the sessions yourself from your bookings list at the frequency agreed, for example twice a week for the first weeks. First and last name are enough; with the owner's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each session. Book doesn't send reminders.

Book a review every few weeks to adjust the plan. Booking only a couple of weeks ahead keeps the programme flexible as the dog recovers.

Some dogs can't travel early on. Create a home session service with travel in the slot, by area. Rescheduling works across services, so a home session can become a clinic session later.

Put the owner's name and email on each booking. Share exercises for home by email; Book doesn't store programmes or send attachments.

Owners can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the session from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes.

Book doesn't store animal records or rehab plans, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with colleagues, create services per therapist. See the guide on preparing a dog for hydrotherapy. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
