Never miss a call: phone coverage for vet clinics
Every clinic misses some calls. The busy mornings, the lunch gap, the last hour before close and the evenings all leave callers listening to a ringing phone or a voicemail greeting. The articles in this topic help you find out how many calls your clinic really misses and when, then choose how to cover them: a phone rota that matches your peaks, overflow answering when every line is busy, a plan for holidays and after hours, and a clear path to a person when a call can't wait. Start with the complete guide to phone coverage, then run a one-week phone audit with the tools you already have. Everything here is vendor-neutral. Where we mention Tilly, we say so.
