Multi-doctor vet practice. $120K a year

Same-day appointment cancellations. LouDNAi deploys eight named agents — purpose-built for veterinary practices — that close the gap in 21 days.

Five vet sub-verticals · the Fleet adapts to each

Where you sit in the veterinary stack.

Same eight archetypes parameterized per sub-vertical. A single-doctor practice's Patient Recall and a multi-doctor specialty group's Referral Coordinator run on the same backbone — different schemas, different software (AVImark, ezyVet, Cornerstone, IDEXX Neo, ImproMed), different volume thresholds.

01

Wellness Recall Lapses

Industry-average vet practice has 28% of active clients past due on annual wellness visit. Standard recall (postcards + manual phone calls) reaches ~20% of past-due clients. Multi-channel recall (SMS + email + voice) reaches ~58%. Average annual visit value: ~$340. Average client lifetime value of a recovered patient: ~$2,800.

"We have 1,200 dogs and cats overdue on annual exams. Our techs call when they have time — they almost never have time. We're losing clients to the practice across town."— Practice manager, 4-doctor practice, named on file

Inventory Shrinkage & Controlled Substances

Vet practices manage ~600-1,500 SKUs across pharmaceuticals, food, surgical supplies, and controlled substances (DEA Schedule II-V). Average inventory shrinkage: 3-7% annually from theft, expiration, or miscounting. DEA controlled-substance audits require detailed reconciliation; missing controlled-substance documentation can result in $10K-$25K fines plus license risk.

"We had a DEA audit pull our records — turns out three vials of buprenorphine weren't logged correctly. The fine was $14K plus we got a warning letter."— Practice owner, 3-doctor practice, named on file

Specialist Referral Coordination

Average primary vet practice refers ~12% of cases to specialists (oncology, orthopedic, cardiology, neurology). Industry pattern: ~38% of referrals never complete the specialist visit due to coordination friction (insurance, scheduling, lost paperwork, client follow-through). Each lost referral is ~$280 in avoided ongoing follow-up revenue back at the primary practice.

"I refer a Boxer to oncology. The owner calls them, gets the wrong office, doesn't follow through. Six months later the dog is dead and the family blames us for not pushing harder."— Veterinarian, 5-doctor practice, named on file

AR Aging on Care Credit + Patient Balances

Industry-average vet AR: ~32 days. Best-in-class: ~12 days. Vet practices have lower insurance complexity than human healthcare, but Care Credit + Scratchpay verification gaps still drive AR. Patient balances on emergency or surgical work that exceeded estimate are the worst offenders. Industry write-off rate: ~2.8% at 90+ days.

"We did a $4,200 surgery on a payment plan. Owner missed the third payment. By the time we caught up the dog had passed and the owner moved. $2,800 written off."— Office manager, emergency vet, named on file

Same-Day Cancellations & No-Shows

Vet practice no-show + same-day cancellation combined rate: 10-18%. Average value of cancelled doctor slot: $240-$420. Best-in-class practices using SMS reminders + waitlist filling cut combined rate to ~6%. The leak compounds — a cancelled wellness visit usually means a missed dental, missed vaccine, missed parasite-prevention upsell.
