ForVeterinarians
The consultation stays uninterrupted.
Inquiries handle themselves.
While the vet is operating in the OR and reception scans vaccine certificates, the phone rings with the third emergency of the day. AI agents triage emergencies by keyword on the phone, book routine appointments in the practice calendar, and answer standard questions in chat or by email, the practice stays focused on the patient.
Get startedIn short
The rinqo AI agent for veterinarians answers calls around the clock, recognizes acute emergencies (respiratory distress, bleeding, unconsciousness, poisoning) by keywords, immediately routes them to the practice management and books routine appointments like vaccinations or check-ups directly in the practice calendar. From the same stored company knowledge, rinqo answers enquiries from chat, the web form and the inbox and gives the team on the ground what it needs.
The situation
As of 31 December 2025 the German veterinary chamber counts 46,089 veterinarians, 11,216 of them in their own practice and 12,125 employed. Routine inquiries (vaccination reminders, appointment changes, food pickup, billing questions) block the line and make it hard to take emergencies in priority. AI triage separates both reliably without making animal owners wait. The same stored knowledge carries every channel you switch on, and answers the questions your team would otherwise pass along.

Source: Bundestierärztekammer 2026Where it pinches
- Emergencies (injured animal on weekends) compete with routine calls for the line.
- The practice team must shuttle between treatment room and phone.
- Weekend emergency-service inquiries overload the on-call line.
- Complex questions about medication and diet need vet advice, not reception.

Emergency triage in seconds
The phone agent answers and recognizes emergency keywords (poisoning, respiratory distress, bleeding, seizure, unconsciousness). On emergency: immediate transfer to practice management or stored emergency number.
The same knowledge, wherever it is asked
Consulting hours, vaccination schedules, common treatment costs (typical consultation €35-65, emergency surcharge), routine check-up intervals, medication pickup. The agent quotes from your knowledge base but never gives diagnostic or dosing recommendations. The same applies to every channel you switch on, and to your team looking it up instead of asking around.
It books in your calendar
Google and Microsoft calendars directly, or any CalDAV calendar (such as iCloud), Vetera, easyVET and vetfutura on request. The agent checks availability by treatment type (vaccination 15 min, check-up 30 min, surgery external), books slot, sends confirmation with prep notes (fasting? stool sample?).
What the agent handles
- Emergency detection with immediate transfer to practice management
- Routine appointment booking (vaccination, check-up, neutering, birth)
- Vaccination reminders for dog, cat, horse, small animals
- Medication pickup and prescription renewal
- On-call/emergency-service info on weekends
- Standard questions (consulting hours, directions, private vs animal-welfare insurance)
- Look internal knowledge up on the spot instead of asking around
- Turn references and vacancies into on-brand posts
Our recommendation
Vets cannot answer the phone during surgery and treatments. The phone agent is the only solution that delivers emergency triage and routine booking simultaneously, without the consultation suffering. The knowledge behind it then carries the other channels and the questions asked internally.
