Steps
Provision a Twilio phone number and Programmable Messaging service for the practice.
Build a Twilio Studio Flow (or REST-triggered script) that sends a reminder SMS at a set offset before the appointment (e.g., one day and one hour prior).
Include a reply-based confirm/reschedule/cancel prompt in the message so owners can respond by text.
Run a scheduled job against the practice management system's appointment data to identify upcoming appointments needing a reminder.
Log delivery and reply status back into the scheduling system to flag no-shows or reschedule requests.
Known gotchas
Twilio's reminder flows are a general messaging capability, not a vet-specific product; the appointment-lookup logic must be built against the practice's own PMS data.
SMS opt-in/consent and quiet-hours rules apply to appointment reminders just like any other business texting use case.
