Emergency triage & escalation

They need reassurance and a clear next step. An unanswered phone sends them searching for another clinic.
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.
Routine questions still deserve a thoughtful answer. Keep them moving without distracting your clinical team.
The quiet cost of being closed
8 after-hours calls a day. 65% go to voicemail. $180 avg visit. 365 days. That’s $341,000 a year — lost while you’re closed.
Illustrative estimate: 8 × 65% × $180 × 365 = $341,640, rounded down. Assumes each missed call becomes one lost visit; actual results vary. Call and visit figures are supplied industry estimates.

Good questions. Clear answers.
Because choosing a voice for your clinic is a personal decision.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For every pet. And their person.
Your team deserves a little breathing room. Your callers deserve to feel heard. DrKing is here for both.
