Most clinics underestimate missed call loss
Here's what it really costs when the phone rings out.
The "Busy Signal" Effect
67% of callers hang up if sent to voicemail. They call the next clinic on Google.
Lifetime Value Lost
One missed new patient isn't just $200. It's thousands of dollars over the pet's life.
Staff Interruption
It takes 20 minutes to refocus after a phone interruption. Your team is exhausted.

Why receptionists are drowning
If you run a busy vet clinic, your phone never stops.
It's Monday morning. Your front desk is checking in a nervous German Shepherd, processing a prescription refill for Mrs. Higgins, and trying to get a payment processed.
Then the phone rings.
They can't answer it. They are human. So it goes to voicemail.
By the time they listen to the message 45 minutes later and call back, that pet owner has already booked an appointment with the clinic down the street.
"We were missing 20-30 calls a week."
This is the reality for almost every successful clinic. You are punished for being busy.
You don't need "better time management." You need a way to answer the phone when your hands are full.

Listen to a sample call

"It was like hiring a full-time receptionist overnight."
Tropicana Animal Hospital was missing 2–3 new patients a day due to high call volume. After Talky, their abandoned calls dropped by ~70% within the first 30 days.
