Deworming Reminder RCS Template for Pet Clinics & Pet Care
A ready-to-adapt RCS message for veterinary clinics, pet shops and groomers, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.
When to Send This Message
Send when the next deworming dose is due. For veterinary clinics, pet shops and groomers, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps pet parents informed without a phone call. It works best when it is triggered automatically from your booking, billing or CRM software.
Vaccination schedules, grooming appointments and food reorders give natural, useful reasons to stay in touch.
The RCS Template

Placeholders and Sample Values
| Placeholder | Meaning | Sample value |
|---|---|---|
| {owner} | Owner | Mr. Das |
| {pet} | Pet | Bruno |
| {date} | Date | 25 Oct |
Filling in each placeholder
- Owner (sample: Mr. Das): Use the first name or the salutation the customer gave you; fall back to a neutral greeting if the field is empty.
- Pet (sample: Bruno): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Date (sample: 25 Oct): Write dates in an unambiguous form such as 14 Oct or 14 Oct 2026; avoid formats like 10/11 that customers read differently.
This template has 3 placeholders and a body of 147 characters before values are filled in. RCS card descriptions can be longer than SMS, but the first line should still carry the key information, as previews are truncated.
Category and Approval
Service updates like this suit RCS well because a card can carry buttons such as confirm, reschedule or get directions. The message must still relate to the customer's existing transaction.
Compliance Checklist
- An SMS fallback is configured, and in India the fallback text uses a DLT-registered template.
- Images are clear, sized as the provider recommends, and do not hide important information that is missing from the text.
- Promotional rich cards go only to customers who have agreed to receive them.
Rules to keep in mind for Pet Clinics & Pet Care
Veterinary practice is regulated by the Veterinary Council of India, and medical claims in ads should be avoided. Pet shops and breeders may need registration under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rules for dog breeding and pet shops.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before launch. See our RCS compliance guide for India.
Tips for Better Results
- Use the customer's name and a reference number so the message is easy to trust and to search for later.
- Send it as close as possible to the event it relates to, such as right after booking or the day before an appointment.
Where this message fits for Pet Clinics & Pet Care
Pet owners search for vets, groomers, pet shops and boarding nearby, read reviews and value trust and gentle handling. Regular vaccinations, grooming appointments and food purchases create predictable repeat visits.
Maps listings and Instagram drive new clients; WhatsApp handles bookings and photo updates during grooming or boarding; SMS sends vaccination and appointment reminders; email shares pet care tips and offers.

Questions About This Template
When should a pet care business send the deworming reminder message?
Send when the next deworming dose is due. Automate it from your software where possible so it is never forgotten.
What happens if the customer's phone does not support RCS?
The message falls back to SMS. In India the fallback must use a DLT-registered template, which is why this page includes the SMS version.
Can I add images to this message?
Yes. A rich card can include an image or short video. Keep important details in the text as well, since not everyone views the image.
Can DND Teams set this up for my pet care business?
Yes. We adapt the template to your business, register or submit it, and connect it to your software or our panel. Share your use case on WhatsApp or through the form.
