Pet Grooming Software: Pets, Standing Appointments, and the Book

Last verified: 2026-08-27

Pet grooming software is a pet record plus a book: the dog, the owner, the groomer, the time slot, the vaccine note, the deposit, and the next six-week standing appointment. Dog grooming and pet grooming searches stay on this URL. There is no second doorway.

A generic booking link without pet profiles is appointment scheduling software. Salons that cut human hair are salon scheduling.

Objects a human scheduler does not have

• Pet and customer records. Breed, temperament, coat, vet, household — attached to the owner.
• Groomer assignment. Gingr’s Spa plan lists groomer-to-breed assignment by breed and size.
• Time slots or drop-off windows (Gingr Spa), not a 30-minute sales call.
• Recurring appointments and packages/memberships (Gingr FAQ).
• Vaccination management where the vendor documents it (Gingr FAQ). This page does not claim a medical outcome.
• Deposits, cards on file, retail, tips via integrated payments (Gingr Payments bullets).
• Reminders and no-show handling — automated confirmations on Spa.
• Client communication including optional two-way SMS add-on (US/Canada on Gingr’s add-on list).

Gingr — Spa for appointment-based grooming

Gingr’s official pricing page: Spa $109/month monthly or $100/month billed annually (stated as 9% / $108 per year savings). Play is $169 / $142 for daycare, not the first stop for a grooming-only shop. Enterprise is contact-us for multi-location. Every plan lists mobile app, payments, notifications, staff tools, analytics, multi-location reporting, customer portal, and PreCheck. This article does not restate Gingr’s on-page ROI calculator.

Choose Gingr Spa when the book is pets and standing grooms. Choose Play/Stay only if daycare or boarding is actually the facility. Confirm add-on SMS and payment processing on the live page.

HighLevel — do not force it

HighLevel calendars can book a human. They are not documented as vaccination records, breed-based groomer matching, or pet portals. If the shop’s pain is Instagram leads, a marketing OS might sit beside Gingr. If the pain is the Tuesday book, buy grooming software. Prices: GoHighLevel pricing.
