How AI Books Spay and Neuter Procedures for Veterinary Practices

Spay and neuter procedures are among the most commonly performed surgeries in veterinary practice. Each procedure generates $200-500 in revenue, and most puppies and kittens need the surgery between 4-6 months of age. The booking process involves multiple steps — age and weight assessment, pre-op bloodwork scheduling, fasting instructions, cost discussion, and surgical date selection. AI handles all of it in one call.

What AI Handles for Spay/Neuter Bookings

• Age and weight assessment — confirming the pet meets minimum requirements
• Pre-operative bloodwork scheduling — typically 1-2 weeks before surgery
• Surgical date selection — coordinating with the practice's OR schedule
• Cost estimate and payment discussion — deposits, payment plans if available
• Fasting instructions — NPO after midnight, no water morning of surgery
• Drop-off and pickup time coordination — morning drop-off, afternoon pickup
• Post-operative care instructions — activity restrictions, incision monitoring, e-collar use
• Follow-up appointment scheduling — suture removal or recheck
