Frequently asked questions
-
What is GV-V.E.T.?
GV-Veterinary Emergency Triage is our offering for emergency hospitals. Our team of credentialed veterinary technicians triages calls, gathering history and clinical symptoms, and diverting non-emergent cases.
It’s really simple: we’re the frontline of your hospital. We unclog your phone lines and take the pressure off so your team can focus on seeing only the truly emergent cases.
-
Who is taking calls?
We’ve spent years building up a highly experienced team of CSRs and CVTs. We look for multiple years of experience in the veterinary world, and candidates applying to our triage team need 3-5 years minimum ER experience.
New hires go through extensive training before taking a single call and are shadowed on their early shifts. No matter a team member’s level of experience, every call is recorded, and we do regular call reviews to maintain the best possible experience for your clients.
-
How is working with GuardianVets different from hiring more people?
Hiring is hard! It’s a struggle to find qualified applicants in the first place, and those that can hire often struggle with high turnover rates. It’s an expensive process with lots of hidden costs- especially in training.
GV provides support that’s never late, never calls out, and is available 24/7. We ingest your protocols and can follow your hospital’s SOP’s without needing training from your team. We’re a supplement to your existing staff that saves you time and money while maintaining a consistent experience for your clients.

How is this different from an answering service?
Fundamentally, a phone service can greet customers and send the call back to you. They can potentially screen some unnecessary calls, but they can’t triage, assess the situation, or schedule according to your protocols.
GuardianVets is a true extension of your team, providing a level of support that can only come from experienced CVTs. We follow your protocols to fast track the cases that need help the most, while diverting non-emergent patients.
