Frequently asked questions about PetDesk + DVMax and DVMax SQL
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.
What does the PetDesk integration with DVMax and DVMax SQL actually do?
PetDesk connects to DVMax and DVMax SQL to pull the client and patient data your team needs for reminders, texting, and phone calls, so nobody has to look anything up by hand. Quick access to patient history means your front desk can personalize a conversation or answer a question without putting a client on hold to dig through the record.
My team already works in DVMax 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 are compatible with DVMax and DVMax SQL?
PetDesk Communications automates reminders and two-way texting and puts every conversation on autopilot. PetDesk Phones displays DVMax client and patient details the moment a call comes in. PetDesk Scribe transcribes appointment conversations into SOAP notes your team can review and use.
We run more than one location on DVMax. Does PetDesk work across multiple clinics?
Yes. PetDesk Communications is built to manage reminders and client conversations whether you have one clinic or several, so a multi-location DVMax group can run every site's communication through a single, consistent system instead of stitching together separate tools per location.
Can PetDesk help DVMax clinics reach clients who are overdue for care?
Yes. PetDesk uses the patient data already in DVMax 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 DVMax clinics see after switching.
