FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Rinqly for your industry.
A traditional veterinary answering service uses human operators who take messages and bill per call or per minute, often with a wait during busy hours. Rinqly's AI answers every pet-owner call 24/7, passes urgent calls to your on-call vet under your rules, books wellness visits directly into your calendar, and answers vaccination questions: on plans from $49/month with minutes included.
It routes them; it does not handle them. Rinqly is not an emergency service. When a caller describes an emergency, the AI tells them to come in now or go to the nearest emergency vet, and can transfer the call to your on-call veterinarian, without giving medical advice.
Yes. Configure your knowledge base for dogs, cats, and any exotic species you treat. The AI adjusts its responses and booking types based on the pet species.
Absolutely. The veterinary template uses empathetic, reassuring language. It asks for the pet's name and expresses concern, matching the compassionate communication pet owners expect.
Yes. Load your vaccination schedules and wellness protocols into the knowledge base. The AI provides accurate information about core vaccines, booster timing, and recommended wellness visit frequency.
Rinqly's AI veterinary answering service starts at $49/month and scales with your call volume, with calendar booking on every plan: minutes included in a monthly plan ($0.35/min beyond it), not the $1-$3 per-minute billing most traditional answering services charge. It pays for itself by capturing new-client calls that would otherwise go to a competitor.
