What is the purpose of an appointment card?

The purpose of an appointment card is primarily to remind clients of the date and time of their scheduled appointment. This card serves as a convenient reference for clients, helping to ensure they do not forget their visit and can plan accordingly. By having the appointment details readily available, clients are more likely to attend their appointments on time, which can be crucial for both the clients and the veterinary practice in maintaining an efficient schedule and promoting good pet health.

While contact information could be provided to clients through other means, an appointment card's main focus is on the specifics of their upcoming visit. Tracking vaccination history and notifying clients about emergency services are important aspects of veterinary care, but they are not the intended purposes of an appointment card. Thus, the appointment card specifically serves the function of serving as a reminder, which enhances client engagement and ensures better attendance.
