Frequently Asked Questions

When should vet clinics survey pet owners?

1–2 hours after the visit for routine appointments. For surgeries, send a follow-up survey 48 hours later to check on recovery and satisfaction.

What should veterinary surveys focus on?

Care quality, vet communication, pricing transparency, wait time, staff friendliness and NPS. For surgeries, add questions about post-op instructions and recovery.

How can surveys help with pricing complaints?

Surveys reveal whether the issue is actual cost or perceived transparency. Most pet owners accept costs when they understand why. Feedback guides your communication strategy.

Can I send surveys for specific visit types?
