However, there are also other things that you didn't consider when you got started:
- Staying in touch with clients
- Informing customers about the duration of their appointments
- Organising your schedule
- Handling invoices
- ...and much more

Benefits of using pet grooming software
There are many benefits of using pet grooming scheduling software.
The biggest advantage: Saving time.
You are grooming a husky or a persian, and just at the moment while you get to the ears the ears and are focused on being gentle, you receive a phone call from a client.
She wants to make an appointment for somewhere next week. You have to put down the clippers, look up your online agenda, and find the next available time slot.
The first two suggested time slots are no option for your client and as soon as you realise it, you have spent 5 minutes trying to schedule an extra appointment.
When using a scheduling app, there is no need for this. It can still be the case that you receive phone calls while you are at work. But with one simple message, you can send your digital calendar and your client can see all your available time slots. Congratulations, your appointment just took 30 seconds to organise!
Apart from that, you can also keep track of your client lists and the king poodle that you haven’t seen for 2 months now will need a new haircut soon. Maybe the owner forgot and if the poodle is not coming, you will spend ages trying to comb out all the tangles that have saved up. Give the owner a quick message that it is time for a new appointment for the best interest of his / her poodle.
Even having online awareness can help to find new clients. Even though you might not like spending hours behind your phone or laptop, showcasing your salon online can help with bringing new cats and dogs into your store.
With our pet grooming business software, you can also enjoy:
- Improved customer care and satisfaction
- Reduced paperwork and phone calls
- Fewer scheduling errors
- Increased organisation and efficiency
p.s. Did you know that Vev comes with a built-in CRM for Pet Groomers?
What to think about when picking a pet grooming software?
The most important thing to think about when choosing pet grooming software is convenience. Is everything easy to use for you and your clients? If not, the temptation to just use a physical calendar and getting in touch with clients the “old-school” way is hard. Therefore pick something that is easy to set up and use.
Does that mean that all your clients need to book online via your personalised pet grooming software? Definitely not. Some clients that you are loyal to for years, just like a little small-talk with you and pop by your salon or send you a text message. That is all fine, our software has the ability to schedule appointments yourself and give you the space to provide the extra bit of personal service that you want to provide to your clients.
“Spend more time doing what you actually like doing ”
