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.
0% Commission • Live in 24 Hours

UK Operator FAQs & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, factual answers to help you evaluate and scale with SmartBookings.

Can clients book recurring class passes, multi-week blocks, or drop-in sessions?

Yes. SmartBookings allows you to offer single session drop-ins, multi-week term courses, and pre-paid multi-ticket bundles with automated credit tracking for each client.

Can we capture medical intake, health questionnaires, or consultation notes?

Yes. Custom registration forms capture medical history, injury declarations, PAR-Q questionnaires, and client preferences during booking, stored securely under UK GDPR standards.

How does the system coordinate instructor schedules and studio room availability?

The diary assigns instructors and specific studio rooms to each class, ensuring resources are never double-booked and instructors can access their individual class registers on mobile.

Does SmartBookings send automated SMS and email appointment reminders?

Yes. Automated confirmation notices, 24-hour reminder messages, and post-appointment follow-ups are sent automatically, dramatically reducing missed classes and no-shows.

Can I take partial deposits online with the remainder due at the appointment?

Yes. You can choose to take full payment upfront, request a fixed or percentage deposit online, or allow clients to pay cash or card upon arrival.
