Pet grooming software: frequently asked questions

What is pet grooming software?

Pet grooming software is a business management system for groomers. It combines an appointment calendar, online booking, client and pet records, checkout and reporting so you spend less time on the phone and paperwork and more time grooming. The Grooming App adds mobile route planning, boarding and daycare for businesses that offer them.

Is The Grooming App good dog grooming software for a mobile groomer?

Yes. You can draw service zones on a map, set a base travel fee and per-mile rate, cap daily capacity, and let The Grooming App optimize the order of stops with arrival windows. Salon and mobile appointments can live on the same calendar.

Can my clients book online?

Yes. Each business gets a booking portal where pet parents create an account, add their pets, choose services and request or confirm a time. You choose which services and animals are bookable, whether prices and durations show, and whether bookings are confirmed instantly or need your approval.

How much does The Grooming App cost?

Every business starts with a free 30-day trial that includes the full product, and no credit card is needed to begin. Tell us your team size and locations and we will send straightforward pricing.

Can I move my existing clients over from another system?

Yes. Import clients, pets and appointments from CSV files using our templates. You get a row-by-row report of anything that needs attention, and a duplicate finder to merge records afterward.

How customizable is it?

Very. Services, prices, durations, groomer hours, tax rates, tip options, waiver text, booking rules, roles and 118 permissions are all yours to configure. You can also switch mobile grooming, boarding and daycare on or off per location.

Does The Grooming App process credit cards?

The Grooming App records cash, card, check, gift card and split payments at checkout, calculates tax and tips, and tracks balances, voids and refunds. It does not replace your card terminal.

Do you support more than just dogs?

Yes. Choose the animals you serve, such as dogs and cats, and give each its own services, pricing and groomers.
