  1. “Do you have any availability this week?”

This is the most frequent question from pet parents, especially when they're trying to book last-minute grooming or daycare.

How FetchDesk AI handles it: FetchDesk automatically answers with a clear, pre-set list of your location’s vaccine requirements. If a pet’s records are on file, it can confirm them or request uploads from the client if anything’s missing.
