The reception that calms the dog.
Waiting-room distraction content, consult-room schedules, pet-owner education and social-proof review walls for every practice.
A vet waiting-room has humans and animals, both stressed. Signage should calm both.
A veterinary waiting-room is unlike any other healthcare setting — anxious animals, worried owners, and species-specific stress (cats hide, dogs react to other dogs, rabbits freeze). Hangar.Media puts species-calming visuals on waiting-area screens, appointment-flow boards at reception, pet-owner education content (flea/tick, dental, weight, preventive care) in consulting-room pre-appointment areas, and review walls at reception for trust-building. Privacy-first — alias-only patient (i.e. pet) display, never owner-name public-facing.
Built for how veterinary practices actually run.
The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.
Species-aware content that lowers the room's stress.
Waiting-room screens play calming content tuned to the current room mix. Cat-only periods get cat-safe colour palettes (avoid red/orange). Dog-heavy times get steady, low-movement nature reels. Rabbit and exotic hours get species-neutral content. When the waiting room empties, the screens return to general pet-owner education. Measurable anxiety reduction in both animals and owners.
The vet tech notices the waiting room is quieter. The dog is easier to examine.
- Species-aware content rotation (cat, dog, exotic, rabbit)
- Cat-safe colour palettes (avoid saturated red/orange)
- Nature-reel library curated for low-movement stress-reduction
- Auto-rotation based on appointment-diary species mix
Who's next, without naming the patient.
Reception screens show today's appointment flow with alias-only display (first-name of owner + pet-name + breed), drawn from your practice-management system. Owners know their pet is next without the reception calling across a waiting area of anxious animals.
The vet tech brings the pet through without a name-call disturbing the waiting room.
- ezyVet, Covetrus, Provet Cloud, IDEXX Neo, Cornerstone integration
- Alias-only display (first-name owner + pet-name + breed)
- Running-on-time / running-behind status with calming waiting softening
- Per-vet photo and specialty for first-visit clients
The question the owner was going to ask.
Consulting-room pre-appointment screens run pet-owner education content tuned to the appointment type: flea/tick/worm content for preventive-care visits, dental-health content for dental-check appointments, weight-management content for obesity consults, senior-pet content for geriatric care. Owners walk into the consult with context; the vet spends less time on preventive-care basics and more on the specific case.
The vet starts the consult on the specific case, not on 'what is flea treatment?'.
- Topic library: flea/tick/worm, dental, weight, behaviour, senior pets, vaccinations
- Appointment-type matched scheduling per consulting-room
- Multi-language playback for diverse client bases
- Custom practice-branded content option with in-house vet voice-over
Your Google reviews. Your waiting-room.
Reception screens aggregate Google Reviews, Facebook recommendations and veterinary-specific review platforms into a rotating social-proof wall. 5-star reviews from real pet owners are the single strongest trust signal a new client sees. Moderation workflow keeps off-topic posts off display.
New clients choose your practice because another client already did.
- Google Reviews, Facebook and veterinary-platform aggregation
- Automatic 5-star filter with manual review for borderline posts
- Alias-only review display (first-name only) for client privacy
- Review-of-the-week curation for staff-highlight walls
Aftercare for the journey home.
Exit-area screens surface post-visit guidance for common procedure types — post-neuter recovery, vaccination after-care, dental-cleaning recovery, fracture/wound care. Owners leaving with a recovering pet walk past the reminders and know what to expect overnight. Practice phone calls from worried owners drop measurably.
Owners leave knowing what's normal. The out-of-hours phone doesn't ring.
- Procedure-specific post-visit aftercare content
- When-to-call-the-practice trigger reminders
- QR-overlay for owner-phone continuation of aftercare guidance
- Audit-log of which content played during which shift

Which veterinary practice-management systems do you integrate with?
ezyVet, Covetrus (Vetware, Teleos, V Tech Platinum), Provet Cloud, IDEXX Neo, IDEXX Cornerstone, AVImark and FHIR-compatible generic systems. We pull appointment-flow data (alias-only owner-name + pet-name + breed) for reception boards. For client reviews we aggregate Google, Facebook and veterinary-specific platforms. Integration is included in the flat per-screen price.
How does the species-aware calming content work?
Screens poll the appointment-diary every 5 minutes to determine the current waiting-room species mix (cat-only, dog-heavy, mixed, exotic). Content playlists switch accordingly — cat-safe colour palettes during cat-heavy periods (avoiding saturated red/orange), low-movement nature reels during dog-heavy periods, and species-neutral content during mixed or exotic appointments. Measurable stress reduction (both animal and owner) in practices running this content pattern.
How do you handle client-privacy in a vet waiting-room?
Alias-only display by default — first-name owner + pet-name + breed (e.g. 'Sarah & Max the Labrador'), never full owner names or clinical details. Pet-history, treatment plans and medical information never transit to public-facing screens unless explicitly configured and the client has consented via your practice consent workflow. For practices with dignified-death consultations running in parallel, a quiet-mode override suppresses all reception announcements during specific appointment slots.
What does a setup cost for a single-site vet practice?
£5 per screen per month, flat. A single-site practice with 5 screens (reception, waiting, 2 consulting-room pre-appointment, exit) pays £25 per month. Every feature in scope, every integration bundled. No enterprise gate, no volume dance.
