Online booking for specialised veterinarians

Owners usually reach a veterinary specialist through their general vet: a skin problem that won't settle, a heart murmur, an eye condition, a behaviour problem. The first appointment takes longer, because the case needs to be reviewed and the animal examined in depth; follow-ups are shorter. Some specialists work from their own practice, others hold clinic days at partner practices in different towns.

Referral cases often arrive with some urgency, and owners want a date quickly. When every booking goes through phone calls, dates get lost between the referring vet, the owner and your diary. A booking page lets the owner pick a date as soon as they have the referral.

In Book, each type of consultation is a service with its own price and description, and you open slots for each at the length it takes. If you hold clinic days elsewhere, create a service per location, so owners see where the appointment happens. Use the description to say what to bring, such as the referral letter and previous results, and how to prepare the animal, for example fasting before certain exams.

Owners book without an account and get a confirmation email; you get an email for every new booking. Reschedule or cancel from your bookings list, and sync your calendar with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book gives your practice one booking page and doesn't split bookings into a separate calendar for each vet. It doesn't keep medical records or take payments. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.
