If you have veterinary experience, enjoy communicating with pet owners, and are motivated by turning overdue recommendations into completed patient care, this may be a great fit for you.

• Contacting clients whose pets are due or overdue for vaccines, examinations, diagnostics, preventives, or other recommended services
• Following up on veterinarian-recommended services that have not yet been completed

• Helping improve compliance with veterinarian recommendations
• Maintaining organized callback lists and following through until appropriate resolution Providing excellent customer service during every client interaction

The ideal candidate is:

• Experienced in a veterinary hospital or clinic
• Comfortable navigating veterinary medical records
• Knowledgeable about routine canine and feline preventive care
• Confident speaking with clients on the phone
• Friendly, professional, and compassionate
• Able to explain veterinary recommendations in client-friendly language
• Comfortable initiating conversations rather than waiting for clients to call
• Highly organized and able to manage a large callback list
• Detail-oriented with excellent documentation skills
• Comfortable working independently while remaining part of a larger veterinary team
• Persistent without being pushy
• Able to handle client questions, concerns, and occasional rejection professionally Motivated by measurable results and completed patient care

Who Should Apply

• Already have veterinary experience
• Enjoy client communication and education
• Like reviewing medical records and finding what still needs to be completed
• Are comfortable spending a significant portion of your day communicating with clients
• Believe preventive care can make a meaningful difference in a pet's health
• Are someone who follows through rather than assuming someone else will handle it
• Enjoy organization, lists, goals, and tracking progress
• Can confidently discuss veterinary recommendations while staying within your role
• Want a position where you can help strengthen the relationship between the client, patient, and veterinary team Take pride in helping turn recommendations into actual care for patients

Who Should NOT Apply

This position may not be the right fit for you if:

• You do not have previous veterinary experience

• You are uncomfortable discussing veterinary services or recommendations
• You prefer a primarily hands-on animal care position with limited client interaction
• You struggle with organization, documentation, or follow-through
• You tend to avoid difficult conversations
• You become discouraged when clients decline recommendations or do not return calls
• You need constant supervision to remain productive
• You are uncomfortable being held accountable for completing callbacks and assigned follow-up You view reminder calls as simply "checking something off a list" rather than an opportunity to improve patient care
