SMS Messaging Terms

Last Updated: March 30, 2026


Program Description

PawPIMS provides veterinary practice management software that enables veterinary clinics ("Clinics") to send SMS text messages to their clients ("you") for the following purposes:

  • Appointment reminders and confirmations
  • Prescription and medication pickup notices
  • Post-visit care instructions and follow-ups
  • Wellness and vaccination reminders
  • General clinic communications related to your pet's care

SMS messages are sent on behalf of the individual veterinary practice you are a client of. PawPIMS is the technology provider; your Clinic is responsible for the content and timing of messages sent to you.


How to Opt In

You may receive SMS messages from your veterinary clinic only after providing explicit written consent. Consent is collected in one of the following ways:

  • Signing or initialing an SMS consent field on a new client intake form
  • Checking an SMS consent box on a digital intake or registration form
  • Verbally consenting and having a staff member record your consent in your client record

You will not receive SMS messages from your Clinic through PawPIMS without first providing this consent.


Message Frequency

Message frequency varies by clinic and is based on your appointment schedule and care needs. Most clients receive 1–4 messages per month. You may receive additional messages during active treatment periods.


Message and Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. Standard carrier messaging rates charged by your mobile carrier apply to all messages sent and received. PawPIMS and your Clinic do not charge a fee for SMS messages.


How to Opt Out

You may opt out of SMS messages from your Clinic at any time by replying STOP to any message. After opting out:

  • You will receive a single confirmation message acknowledging your opt-out.
  • No further SMS messages will be sent to your number from that Clinic.
  • Your opt-out is recorded in the practice management system and honored immediately.

To re-enroll, contact your Clinic directly and provide renewed written consent.
