Are protocols a substitute for veterinary judgment?
No. They organize clinic-authored instructions. The veterinary team remains responsible for deciding whether those instructions suit the patient.
Recovery protocols
Start with a consistent protocol. Adapt it to the patient.
Your team should not have to rebuild the same recovery workflow for every discharge. Vet Aftercare lets clinics prepare reusable protocols while keeping patient-specific decisions with the care team.

How it works
Define the recovery workflow
Prepare the protocol’s daily care steps and check-in questions around the information your team needs from owners.
Set the review expectations
Configure which responses should prompt clinic follow-up. Keep the rules aligned with your clinic’s workflow and clinical judgment.
Use it as a starting point
Select a protocol when creating a recovery plan, then review and tailor the instructions for the patient before sharing them.
Built for clinic-directed care
For clinics that want consistency across recurring recovery workflows without treating every patient identically. Protocol content should be authored and reviewed by the clinic; it is not automatically generated medical advice.
Common questions
Can we personalize a plan based on a protocol?
