Deworming Reminder SMS Template for Pet Clinics & Pet Care
A ready-to-adapt SMS 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 can be sent manually from a panel at first and automated later through an API.
Pet parents look for vets, groomers and pet supplies close to home and stay loyal to providers they trust.

Dear Mr. Das, Bruno is due for deworming around 25 Oct, as advised by the vet at [Business Name]. Reply if you need the medicine or an appointment.
With these sample values the message is 149 characters in the standard GSM-7 character set, which is 1 SMS part (square brackets count as two characters each). Long links or local-language (Unicode) text increase the count, as Unicode SMS allow 70 characters per single part.
Replace [Business Name] with your registered brand name. Links shown use example.com as a placeholder; use your own domain.
Placeholders and Sample Values
| Placeholder | Meaning | Sample value |
|---|---|---|
| {#var#} | Owner | Mr. Das |
| {#var#} | Pet | Bruno |
| {#var#} | 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. Shorter messages cost less and are more likely to be read in full; aim to keep the filled-in message within one or two SMS parts.
Category and Approval
In India this type of message is usually registered as Service Implicit: it relates to an existing transaction or relationship and can be delivered to numbers on the DND registry. It must not contain promotional content.
Compliance Checklist
- Any link uses a domain whitelisted for your header, as TRAI requires for URLs in commercial SMS.
- The brand name in the message matches your registered business or header.
- Promotional versions are sent only within the permitted hours and only to recipients who have not opted out.
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 SMS 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.
