Frequently asked questions about PetDesk + Cornerstone

Why should I use PetDesk when I already have these features available from my PIMS?

PIMS were built for medical records, billing, and payment processing—not client connection. These systems were designed for internal workflows, not external engagement. Most do not have a proven veterinary client loyalty program or integrated phone system, and do not offer a way to help pet parents discover your clinic. If you only use your PIMS, or the built-in client communications tool, you are locked into the limited features and pricing of one vendor that will likely prioritize other improvements. Clinics that choose PetDesk get an exceptional client engagement system with unlimited two-way texting built for veterinary clinics, along with the top-rated pet parent mobile app and much more.

How do PetDesk Communications, Phones, and Direct Booking connect to IDEXX Cornerstone?

These PetDesk tools integrate with your PIMS, meaning they read client, patient, and appointment data without manual data exports. When a client calls your clinic, their name and pet’s name appear on your screen. When a client books online, it syncs with your PIMS schedule. When a reminder is due, it pulls from your PIMS records to send it.

My team already works in Cornerstone all day. Will PetDesk add to their workload?

Not exactly. Your front desk manages all client-facing interactions in PetDesk, and those updates will also sync. So, while your team will use two platforms, that split is intentional and actually works in your favor.

Which PetDesk products work with Cornerstone?

PetDesk Communications manages reminders and two-way texting, with all data synced to Cornerstone. PetDesk Phones displays Cornerstone client and patient context on every incoming call. PetDesk Direct Booking lets pet parents self-schedule using real-time Cornerstone availability. PetDesk Scribe turns appointment conversations into SOAP notes your clinical team can review.

How is integrating PetDesk with Cornerstone different from just adding another tool?

Most add-on tools create more work: another login, another screen, another thing to update manually. PetDesk is different because it integrates with Cornerstone, which means data flows between both systems. Integrating PetDesk with your PIMS gives you more capability with less manual work.

Can PetDesk help Cornerstone clinics reach clients who are overdue for care?

Yes. PetDesk uses the patient data already in Cornerstone to flag clients who are overdue for wellness visits or preventive care and reach out proactively, before those pet parents drift to another clinic. Combined with the PetDesk mobile app—where pet parents can see health records, request appointments, and get reminders in one place—this proactive outreach is a meaningful driver of the retention gains Cornerstone clinics see after switching.
