Software Pro Brings AI, Automation and Practice Technology to New York Vet and the Pet Boarding and Daycare Expo
Software Pro is taking its technology and marketing work for pet and veterinary businesses to two industry events this fall. Through its marketing and technology arm, Software Pro Digital, the group will exhibit at New York Vet at the Javits Center in New York City on October 29 and 30, 2026, in partnership with Napollo Software Design, and at the Pet Boarding and Daycare Expo in Hershey, Pennsylvania, from November 3 to 6, 2026.
The appearances follow SUPERZOO 2026 in Las Vegas, where the team met pet retailers, service operators, product brands, veterinary companies and distributors. One message from those conversations stood out: pet businesses want technology that removes repetitive work without removing the human care their customers expect.
Why technology is now central to pet and veterinary growth
Most pet care and veterinary businesses run on a mix of tools that were never designed to work together. Booking software, a practice management system, spreadsheets, a phone system, an email tool and social accounts each hold part of the picture. Staff spend hours moving information between them.
As inquiries grow, that patchwork breaks. Calls go unanswered at busy times and after hours. Vaccination records live in one place and reminders in another. Packages and memberships are tracked by hand. Owners lose visibility into which marketing actually fills the calendar.
What Software Pro builds for pet and veterinary businesses
Software Pro's engineering teams have delivered more than 8,000 projects for startups and enterprises, including AI systems, mobile apps and cloud platforms. For the pet and veterinary sector, that experience is focused on a few practical areas.
AI assisted front desk communication
Voice and chat assistants that answer calls and messages outside business hours, capture the pet's details and request, and hand off to staff with full context. The goal is not to replace people but to make sure no inquiry is lost. Software Pro has previously built AI front desk technology for a healthcare communication company, connecting a phone system through Twilio to an AI layer and onward into EHR and CRM systems, with HIPAA requirements built in.
Pet CRM and pet business management
Systems that connect bookings, customer and pet records, vaccination tracking, reminders, packages, memberships and follow up. When these live in one place, businesses can run rebooking campaigns, birthday messages, win back sequences and occupancy planning without manual effort.
Integrations and automation
Connecting booking platforms, practice management systems, CRMs, payment tools and marketing platforms so data flows automatically. Automated reporting gives owners a clear view of bookings, revenue, repeat visits and cost per new customer.
Websites and apps built to convert
Fast, mobile first websites with clear service pages and booking paths, and apps for customers or field teams where they make sense.
Technology and marketing working together
Technology only pays off when customers find the business. Software Pro Digital pairs these systems with performance marketing services including local SEO, AI search optimization, Google Ads, Local Services Ads, Meta advertising, email and SMS. In three recent Local Services and Search programs for pet grooming, boarding, daycare and training operators, the team delivered 1,311 charged leads at a blended cost of $17 per lead.
For veterinary practices, the group's veterinary marketing agency services in NYC combine local search, reputation, paid media and recall automation. For the wider industry, Software Pro Digital is known as a top rated pet marketing company in the US, working with boarding facilities, daycare centers, trainers, groomers, pet stores, pet brands and B2B suppliers.
At New York Vet and in Hershey
At New York Vet, conversations will center on practice technology, AI assisted communication, online booking and client acquisition for veterinary clinics, animal hospitals and the companies that serve them. At the Pet Boarding and Daycare Expo, the focus will be on booking automation, pet CRM, after hours inquiry capture, recurring revenue and local lead generation for boarding and daycare operators.
Software Pro Digital is a member of the World Pet Association and was named among the Top 15 Local SEO Companies globally in the Clutch Global Spring 2026 awards. More about the group is available at its homepage, where it is recognized as a top digital marketing agency in NYC.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI answer calls for a pet boarding or veterinary business?
Yes. AI voice and chat assistants can answer routine calls and messages, collect details and booking requests, and pass them to staff, especially after hours when calls would otherwise go to voicemail.
What is pet CRM software used for?
A pet CRM keeps customer and pet records, bookings, vaccination information and communication history in one place, so a business can automate reminders, rebooking and follow up.

At New York Vet, Javits Center, October 29 and 30, 2026, in partnership with Napollo Software Design, and at the Pet Boarding and Daycare Expo in Hershey, Pennsylvania, November 3 to 6, 2026.
