Purpose-Built Salon & Mobile Booking Software for UK Dog Groomers
Dog grooming requires precision scheduling based on canine breed, coat condition, and dog temperament. Grooming a nervous Cockapoo for a full de-matting and styling takes far longer than a short-coat bath and brush. SmartBookings ensures your salon diary accurately reflects your actual working hands-on time.
Purpose-Built Features for UK Canine Grooming Salons
- Breed-Specific Slot Durations & Tiered Pricing: Configure variable appointment times and base prices according to dog breed or size (Small, Medium, Large, Giant) so your diary never books a 45-minute slot for a Newfoundland.
- Coat Condition Checks & Treatment Add-Ons: Allow pet owners to book full grooms, puppy introductions, or nail clips, while upselling luxury blueberry facials, teeth descaling, de-shedding mud treatments, and flea rinses.
- Automated Booking Deposits & No-Show Protection: Eliminate devastating no-shows by collecting upfront online booking deposits or full card pre-payments when clients book online.
- Vet Records, Vaccination & Temperament Notes: Store pet medical history, microchip details, booster vaccination dates, and groomer temperament notes (e.g. table reactive, sensitive paws) directly in client profiles.
- Automated Ready-for-Collection Notifications: Send automated SMS or email alerts to pet parents the moment their dog's grooming session is finished, freeing up salon crate space.
- 0% Commission on Grooming Services: Retain every pound of your hard-earned grooming income. Connect your preferred UK card machine or online merchant account with low flat rates from £15/month.
