AI Receptionist for Covetrus Pulse
It is 2 AM and a pet owner calls about a dog that ate chocolate. AgentZap answers, triages the emergency, alerts your on-call vet via SMS, and logs everything in Covetrus Pulse before the owner hangs up.

Real-time calendar sync
Does Covetrus Pulse have an AI receptionist?
Covetrus Pulse manages your practice but does not answer the phones, so AgentZap adds a 24/7 veterinary answering service on top: it triages emergencies, alerts your on-call vet by SMS, and books appointments directly into Covetrus Pulse through the API. Plans start at $109/month and most clinics are live within 48 hours.

AI Phone Answering. Built for Covetrus Pulse.
Every feature designed to work directly with your Covetrus Pulse veterinary practice
24/7 Call Answering
AI answers every phone call with your clinic name and brand voice. Nights, weekends, and holidays included. Pet emergencies never go to voicemail.
Covetrus Pulse API Sync
Appointments book directly into your Covetrus Pulse calendar via REST API in real time. Zero double-bookings, zero manual entry.
New-Client Intake
New callers are added to Covetrus Pulse automatically with owner details, pet name, species, breed, age, and presenting concern. Records are ready before the first visit.
Emergency Triage
AI detects poisoning, bloat, hit-by-car trauma, seizures, and breathing difficulty, asks severity questions, and triggers instant SMS alerts to your on-call veterinarian.
Smart Scheduling
Knows your Covetrus Pulse appointment types: wellness exams, vaccinations, surgeries, dental cleanings. Matches pets to the right time slot.
Multi-Doctor Routing
Books each appointment to the right DVM's schedule in Covetrus Pulse. Respects provider preferences, appointment lengths, and which doctors take surgeries, exotics, or new clients.
Prescription Refill Requests
Captures refill requests with pet name, medication, and pharmacy preference, then logs them for staff review. The AI never gives medical advice, it queues the request for your team.
Vaccination & Recall Reminders
When pet parents call back from a reminder, the AI books the vaccination or recheck straight into Covetrus Pulse without tying up your front desk.
Bilingual Support
Handles calls in English and Spanish so you never lose a pet parent due to language barriers.
A veterinary answering service that works inside Covetrus Pulse
Most veterinary answering services take a message and promise a callback. A Covetrus Pulse answering service should do the work instead: AgentZap looks up the client record, books the appointment against the right doctor's schedule, and syncs new-client intake (pet name, species, breed, age, and presenting concern) into Covetrus Pulse before your team arrives in the morning.
Multi-doctor practices set routing rules per provider. If one DVM only sees exotics on Tuesdays and your new associate handles most wellness exams, the AI books accordingly and never puts a surgery consult in a 15-minute vaccine slot.
Prescription refill request calls are captured and logged for staff review, with the pet's name, medication, and pharmacy preference. The AI never gives medical advice and never approves a refill. It queues the request so your team can act on it during clinic hours.
How does AgentZap work with Covetrus Pulse?
Pet Parent Calls
Someone calls your veterinary clinic to book an appointment or report an emergency.
AI Answers
AgentZap answers with your clinic name, greeting, and professional brand voice.
Triage & Schedule
AI triages emergencies instantly or checks real-time availability in Covetrus Pulse.
Booked or Escalated
Appointment confirmed in Covetrus Pulse, or emergency alert sent to on-call vet.
The 2 AM emergency protocol
When a caller describes chocolate ingestion, bloat, a pet hit by a car, or a seizure, the AI asks severity questions: What did the pet eat, and how much? When did the symptoms start? Is the pet breathing normally? Urgent cases escalate to your on-call veterinarian immediately. Non-urgent cases get booked into the next opening in Covetrus Pulse.
What the pet owner hears
A calm voice that answers on the first ring at 2 AM, greets them with your clinic name, asks about the pet and the symptoms, and tells them exactly what happens next. No hold music, no voicemail box.
What the AI does
It classifies the call using your triage rules. Poisoning, bloat, trauma, seizures, and breathing difficulty escalate instantly. A routine ear infection books into tomorrow's first opening in Covetrus Pulse instead of waking anyone up.
What your on-call vet receives
An immediate SMS with the pet's name, species, symptoms, severity notes, and the owner's callback number, plus an optional bridge call. The full interaction is logged in Covetrus Pulse before the vet calls back.
