Built For Veterinarians

The Vet Chatbot That Handles The Repeat Questions

Pet owners ask the same questions over and over — opening hours, prices, whether you're taking new patients, whether to come in now or wait. FastBots learns your clinic's information once, then answers those questions on your website day or night. When something needs a real person, your team can take over the chat.

Quick Answers

Really Common Questions Veterinarians Ask

What is a vet chatbot?

A vet chatbot is a website assistant trained on your clinic's information — services, opening hours, pricing, registration process and policies. It answers common pet owner questions automatically, so your reception team isn't repeating the same answers all day. It does not diagnose pets or replace clinical judgement.

What can a vet chatbot actually answer?

It handles the questions that fill your phone line: whether you're taking new patients, what a consultation costs, opening hours, vaccinations you offer, whether you see exotics, payment plans, and how to register. For anything urgent or clinical, it points the owner to call the practice or asks if they'd like a callback.

Can it book appointments?

Not directly inside the chat. FastBots can collect the owner's name, pet details, preferred time and contact number, then email the request to your team or push it into a tool you already use through Zapier or Make. Your reception team confirms the booking the way they always do.

Will it replace our reception team?

No, and it isn't meant to. It takes the repeat questions off their plate — hours, pricing, services, registration — so they can focus on the calls that actually need a person. On the Business plan and above, your team can also jump into a live chat when an owner wants to speak to someone.

Why FastBots

Why Veterinarians Use FastBots

Answers Pet Owners Out Of Hours

Most owner enquiries arrive in the evening after work. FastBots answers questions about your services, hours and registration process when the practice is closed.

Cuts Down Reception Phone Volume

Pricing, opening hours, new patient policy and parking questions get answered on the website instead of tying up your phone line.

Captures New Client Registrations

When an owner wants to register a pet, the chatbot collects their name, the pet's name and species, and contact details, then emails the enquiry straight to your team.

Knows When To Step Back

For anything clinical or urgent, the bot stops trying to answer and points the owner to call the practice — or offers a callback through the lead form.

Live Handover When It Matters

On the Business plan and above, a team member can take over the chat in real time when an owner needs to speak to a person rather than read an answer.

Speaks Around 95 Languages

If owners in your area prefer another language, the chatbot can answer them in it without you maintaining separate content.

Acts As An AI Assistant, Not Just FAQ

FastBots starts as a chatbot trained on your site. With Zapier or Make connected, it works more like an AI assistant — sending captured enquiries straight into your CRM or task list once the chat ends.

Stays In Sync With Your Website

Auto Retrain on the Business plan revisits your service and pricing pages on a schedule, so if you change a fee or add a service the bot keeps up.

Real Scenarios

Where It Earns Its Keep

New Patient Registration Enquiries

Owners who've just moved area can register their pet through the chat. The bot collects pet name, species, breed, age and owner contact details for your team to follow up.

Pricing And Service Questions

Consultation fees, vaccination prices, dental work, neutering — the chatbot answers from your published pricing instead of forcing owners to call.

Opening Hours And Emergency Routing

When the practice is closed, the bot states your hours and the out-of-hours emergency provider you refer to, so owners know exactly where to go.

Vaccination And Preventative Care Info

Answers general questions about which vaccinations you offer, flea and worming options, and when puppies and kittens are due, using your own protocols.

Repeat Prescription Requests

Owners can request a repeat prescription through the chat. The bot captures pet name, medication and quantity, then sends the request to your nursing team for processing.

Callback Requests For Worried Owners

When an owner describes symptoms, the bot doesn't try to diagnose. It offers a callback and captures the pet's details and how urgent it feels so a nurse can prioritise.

Boarding And Kennel Cough Queries

If you offer boarding or work with a partner kennel, the chatbot covers vaccination requirements and booking process from your existing information.

Exotics And Species Coverage

Owners often ask whether you treat rabbits, reptiles, birds or small mammals. The bot answers from your services page so they're not driving to the wrong clinic.

Point It At Your Clinic Website

Give FastBots your website URL. It crawls your services, pricing, team, registration and opening hours pages and trains the bot on what it finds.

ToneLimitsHandover

House voice

Calm, warm and reassuring — pet owners are often worried when they message. Never give clinical advice or diagnose. For symptoms, emergencies or anything urgent, offer a callback or point them to the practice phone number.

Set Your House Rules

Add custom instructions so the chatbot stays in scope — no clinical advice, no diagnosis, always offer a callback for anything urgent or symptom-related.

Honest Comparison

How FastBots Compares For Veterinary Practices

Most small practices weigh up three options for handling out-of-hours and repeat enquiries: a website chatbot, a third-party answering service, or simply letting calls and forms wait until reception opens.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The ones we hear most before teams sign up. If yours isn’t here, our support team replies within hours during business days.

Will the chatbot try to diagnose my patients' pets?

No. FastBots is positioned as an information and intake tool, not a clinical one. You set custom instructions telling it never to diagnose, never to give clinical advice and to point owners to the practice for anything symptom-related. It can't replace a vet's professional judgement.

Can it book appointments directly into our practice management system?

Not natively. FastBots doesn't have a native integration with veterinary practice management software. What it can do is capture the appointment request — pet name, owner contact, preferred time — and send it to your team by email or push it into another tool through Zapier or Make. Your reception team confirms the booking.

What happens if an owner messages about an emergency?

The bot is trained to recognise urgent language and stop trying to answer. It points the owner to your practice phone number during hours, and to your nominated out-of-hours emergency provider when you're closed. You write those instructions once when you set the bot up.

Can a real person take over the chat?

Yes, on the Business plan and above. Live Chat lets a team member claim a conversation and reply in real time. You can set availability hours so the option only appears when someone is around — outside those hours the bot offers a callback through the lead form instead.

Will it replace our receptionist?

No. It takes the repeat questions — opening hours, pricing, whether you're taking new patients, registration steps — off the phone line. Your team still handles the conversations that need a person, like worried owners, complex cases and actual bookings.

How does it handle owner and pet data?

Lead details captured through the chat are stored in your FastBots dashboard and emailed to addresses you nominate. You can export and delete them. FastBots states its data handling is GDPR compliant. For anything that touches clinical records, those still live in your practice management system.

What does it cost to run for a small clinic?

The free plan gives you one chatbot and 50 messages a month, which is enough to test it on your site. Paid plans start at $39/month for Essential. Live Chat with human takeover is on the Business plan at $89/month. You can start free with no credit card required and upgrade only when you need more.

How long does it take to set up?

Around an hour for most clinics. You give FastBots your website URL, it crawls your services, pricing and registration pages, you add custom instructions to keep it in scope, and you paste one line of code onto your site. From there you can refine the tone and answers based on real conversations.

Can it speak to owners in other languages?

Yes. FastBots supports around 95 languages, so if owners in your area prefer Spanish, Polish, French or another language, the bot will respond in it without you having to maintain a second version of your content.

Can owners send a photo of their pet?

Owners can upload supported image and document files into the chat when you enable that option. Be clear in your instructions that you don't assess photos for clinical decisions — they're for context only, and anything that looks worrying should be a callback or an in-person visit.
