Compliant sample messages

Illustrative templates. Each names the brand, matches the use case, and shows opt-out.

Paws Vet: Hi {name}, {pet}'s appointment is {date} at {time}. Reply C to confirm. Reply STOP to opt out.
Paws Vet: {pet} is due for {vaccine}. Reply BOOK or call {phone} to schedule. Reply STOP to opt out.
Paws Vet: {name}, {pet}'s prescription is ready for pickup. Reply STOP to opt out.

How veterinary clinics collect opt-in

Collect consent on the new-client form and the booking page, with a checkbox for 'Text me reminders about my pet's care.' Keep a record of the consent.

Watch out

Keep the message to logistics and general reminders. You can name the pet and the reason at a high level ('due for a vaccine'), but avoid detailed medical specifics. Reminders and scheduling, not clinical records.

Common questions

Do veterinary clinics need 10DLC?

Yes. Reminder and refill texts from a standard number require 10DLC registration. Reminders are a standard, easily approved use case.

Can I include my patient's (pet's) details in a text?

Keep it high level: the pet's name and a general reason like 'due for a vaccine' is fine. Avoid detailed medical specifics in the message itself.

How do I register vaccine and refill reminders?

As a reminders use case, with sample messages that match and a clear opt-in from the pet owner. That combination approves cleanly.
