 Does anyone use a &amp;#39;phone text reminder service to their clients about eg. boosters due? and if so, how has it been received by your clients? 
 Thanks

&lt;p&gt;Personally I hated it!&amp;nbsp; We used to always get loads of texts back saying &amp;#39;jack was wormed last week, I bought a years supply when I was in, Jack has died......&amp;#39; that sort of thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then one day I answered the phone to a really nasty woman who gave me hell as we had sent her a reminder to booster her dog which we had put to sleep previous.&amp;nbsp; Whoever had pts the dog, didnt mark it as &amp;#39;dead&amp;#39; on the computer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can completely understand where she was coming from though and she had every right to be angry.&amp;nbsp; You just have to make sure that all text reminders are for animals that are actually alive.&amp;nbsp; It just wasnt for me and I hated it with a passion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Text reminder service</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/22153?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2009 21:06:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:ffa7a04f-4557-48a3-873b-d2795dd73dcd</guid><dc:creator>Vicky RVN</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We don&amp;#39;t atm but our comp system has the ability to do stuff like this so i&amp;#39;m told so prob will do it one day!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
