What a veterinary rx refill coordinator does
A veterinary Rx refill coordinator manages the daily flood of prescription refill requests for parasiticides, NSAIDs, antibiotics, behavioral medications, and chronic disease meds. They check the EHR for active prescriptions, last exam date, last labs, and refill protocols, then route to the DVM for one-click approval — or schedule the patient for a needed exam if they're overdue.
They also handle the constant stream of online pharmacy verification requests from Chewy, Vetsource, Covetrus, and 1-800-PetMeds.
A veterinary Rx refill coordinator is a remote staff member who keeps the refill inbox at zero, prevents medication gaps for pets on chronic care, and protects in-clinic pharmacy revenue when in-clinic fills are appropriate.

Veterinary Virtual Assistant
A veterinary virtual assistant is a dedicated remote staff member who runs the daily admin workload of a veterinary clinic — scheduling wellness exams, sick visits, surgeries, dental cleanings, and recheck appointments inside Cornerstone, AVImark, ezyVet, Cornerstone Cloud, or IDEXX Neo. They handle inbound client phone calls with warmth, route portal and SMS messages, manage Rx refill outreach, and run vaccine and wellness reminders.

A veterinary client service representative answers inbound client phone calls with the warmth pet families expect, books wellness and sick appointments in the right slot length, manages the cancellation waitlist, handles new client intake, and triages calls for emergencies vs routine.
Learn moreVaccine & Wellness Reminder Coordinator
A veterinary vaccine and wellness reminder coordinator runs proactive recall to bring every patient back for their AAHA-recommended vaccines and annual wellness exam — DHPP, rabies, lepto, bordetella, FVRCP, and feline leukemia, plus heartworm and fecal screening. They text, call, and email pet parents, document every attempt in the EHR, and rebook missed visits.
Learn moreBoarding & Grooming Scheduler
A veterinary boarding and grooming scheduler manages the boarding kennel and grooming calendar — confirming vaccine status before booking, scheduling drop-off and pick-up windows, processing deposits, sending pre-stay instructions to the pet parent, and managing the upsell of add-ons (extra walks, baths, exams during stay).
Learn moreOnline Pharmacy Coordinator (Chewy/Vetsource)
A veterinary online pharmacy coordinator manages the steady stream of online pharmacy approval requests from Chewy, Vetsource, Covetrus, and 1-800-PetMeds. They verify the patient's exam status, last labs (heartworm test for Heartgard refill, etc.), and DVM approval criteria, recommend in-house pharmacy fills when clinically and financially appropriate, and route the approval back to the online pharmacy.
Learn moreClient Reactivation Specialist
A veterinary client reactivation specialist runs proactive outreach to bring lapsed clients back — pet parents who haven't visited in 12+ months, dormant patients overdue on annual wellness, and clients who completed a treatment plan and dropped off. They text, call, and email with the practice's voice, document every attempt in the EHR, and rebook missed visits.
