Frequently asked questions about PetDesk + Via
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 and Via integration do?
PetDesk connects to Via 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 Via 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 Via?
PetDesk Communications automates reminders and two-way texting and puts every conversation on autopilot, whether you run one clinic or several. PetDesk Phones displays Via client and patient details the moment a call comes in. PetDesk Scribe transcribes appointment conversations into SOAP notes your team can review and use.
How does PetDesk create a smoother experience for Via clients and patients?
By taking the administrative busywork off your staff's plate so they can focus on the pet parent in front of them (or on the phone). With reminders and confirmations automated, your team has more time for personalized attention during each visit, and clients get a more consistent, responsive experience without your practice adding headcount.
Can PetDesk help Via clinics reach clients who are overdue for care?
Yes. PetDesk uses the patient data already in Via 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 Via clinics see after switching.
