Wellness checklist for receptionists

Give receptionists this comprehensive wellness checklist to review veterinary services with clients.

Even if clients at your practice get an itemized printout of the services their pet received during a wellness exam, they might not understand or remember everything that was actually done and why. Receptionists can help. Review a checklist like this with clients either before or after a pet's appointment. Modify it as needed, depending on the services received. Everyone will benefit from a better understanding of the wellness services your veterinary practice offers!

Download the wellness checklist and give your receptionists the tools they need to succeed.
