Before & After Photos
Capture grooming photos attached to each appointment. Build a visual history for every pet and share results with clients.
Staff Calendar
Drag-and-drop calendar with per-staff columns. See your entire team's day at a glance, prevent double-bookings, and manage walk-ins alongside scheduled appointments.
Service Duration Management
Set custom durations for each service by breed and size. Small dog bath: 30 min. Large dog full groom: 2 hours. The calendar blocks time automatically.
Service Pricing & Packages
Create services with size-based pricing tiers. Sell prepaid packages (Professional plan). Add-on services like teeth brushing or nail grinding with one click.
Automated Reminders

Client History at Your Fingertips
Pull up any pet's full grooming history — past appointments, notes, photos, and preferences. Know exactly what was done last time before the pet even arrives.
Recurring Appointments
Set up standing appointments for your regulars. Every 4 weeks, every 6 weeks — whatever works. Automatic reminders keep everyone on track.
