The daily reality

You Started a Grooming Business — Not a Call Centre.

Between booking calls, rescheduling texts, and chasing no-shows, the actual grooming gets squeezed. SmartGroom handles the routine stuff so you can focus on the dog in front of you.

A client wants to book

"Do you have anything Thursday?" — and you're mid-groom with wet hands and a nervous terrier.

Another wants to reschedule

More back-and-forth messages when you're trying to focus on the dog in front of you.

Someone didn't show up

An empty slot. Lost time. Lost income. No way to get that hour back.

"When was their last groom?"

The answer is in a notebook somewhere. Or your memory. Or nowhere.

How SmartGroom works

From Booking to Review — Without the Back-and-Forth

One booking sets everything in motion. No chasing, no clipboard, no forgetting.

STEP 01

Client books online

Clients pick a service and available slot without waiting for you to answer.

→ No more missed calls mid-groom

STEP 02

Appointment is secured

Card information collected during booking via Stripe or Square for your no-show policy.

→ Your no-show policy has real backup

STEP 03

Reminders & messages go out

Automated reminders reduce forgotten appointments. Two-way messaging keeps clients in the loop without phone tag.

→ Fewer no-shows, zero chasing

STEP 04

You groom

Pet details, coat notes, behaviour flags and history — all right there when you need them.

→ Full context, no clipboard

STEP 05

Ask for a review

After the appointment, SmartGroom sends a Google review request automatically.

→ Review requests go out automatically

Every step above is a documented SmartGroom capability. See the pet grooming software FAQs for details.

What changes when you switch

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.

Eight features that replace the admin work so you can finish grooming without interruptions, go home on time, and feel like a professional — not a receptionist. All included, no add-on fees.

Online Booking

Clients book while you're grooming, sleeping, or enjoying your day off. They pick a service and an available slot — no conversation needed.

Your phone stops ringing mid-groom.

Client & Pet Records

Coat notes, behaviour flags, vaccination history, breed preferences — all organized against the appointment, not buried in a notebook.

Every dog's history at your fingertips.

Automated Reminders

Reminders go out automatically before each appointment. No manual messages, no chasing, no forgotten appointments.

Give clients fewer reasons to forget.

Two-Way Communication

Message clients directly through SmartGroom. Send updates, confirm details, or answer questions — all from one place, no personal number needed.

Stay connected without sharing your phone.

No-Show Protection

Collect card details at booking through Stripe or Square. When a client doesn't show, your configured fee applies. No awkward conversations.

Empty slots stop costing you money.

Stripe & Square Payments

Connect the payment processor you already use. Stripe or Square — your choice. Card-on-file and payment processing work through whichever you prefer.

Keep your existing payment setup.

Google Review Requests

After each appointment, SmartGroom automatically sends a review request. Happy clients mean to leave one — they just need the nudge.

Review requests go out automatically.

Your Data, Exportable

Your clients are your business. Export client, pet and booking data whenever you need it. You're never locked in.

Own your business data — always.

Subscription grooming software typically costs $50–$150/month — and many charge extra for add-ons like messaging, advanced reports, or additional integrations. Over 3 years that's $1,800–$5,400 before add-on fees. SmartGroom is $599 once with every feature included. No tiers, no add-ons, no surprise charges.

SmartGroom is designed around data portability. Export your client list, pet records, and booking history whenever you need it. You're building your own business, not renting your customer list.

Export formats include structured data files you can open in Excel, Google Sheets, or import into another system.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is SmartGroom really a one-time payment?+

Yes. SmartGroom is a one-time software purchase — there are no monthly software fees. The current price is $599 for the first 20 salons and $799 afterward. SMS usage, hosting and domain costs are separate.

Are there any other costs?+

SmartGroom does not charge monthly software fees or a per-booking fee. SMS usage, hosting and domain registration are separate from the software purchase. Payment processing fees (Stripe or Square) are set by those providers.

Can my clients book online?+

Yes. SmartGroom provides online booking so clients can book appointments without requiring the groomer to manually coordinate every appointment. See a live booking demo.

Can I protect myself from no-shows?+

SmartGroom supports card-on-file functionality through Stripe or Square. This allows a groomer to charge a configured cancellation or no-show fee when the groomer's policy applies. SmartGroom does not guarantee that every client will attend an appointment.

Can I keep my customer data?+

Yes. SmartGroom supports client and pet information, including relevant history and records, and supports exporting client, pet and booking information so the data stays available to your business.

Can I switch from MoeGo or Pawfinity?+

Yes. Export your client and pet data from your current provider and send it to us — we'll map and upload everything into SmartGroom for you, with no limit on how many records you have. You don't need to re-enter anything manually. See the MoeGo alternative and Pawfinity alternative pages.

Can I message clients through SmartGroom?+

Yes. SmartGroom includes two-way communication so you can send updates, confirm details, or answer questions from one place — without sharing your personal phone number.

Does SmartGroom work with Square?+

Yes. SmartGroom integrates with both Stripe and Square for payment processing and card-on-file no-show protection. You choose whichever processor you prefer.

Do I need technical knowledge?+

SmartGroom is designed for independent groomers, not software engineers. Setup assistance is available to help you configure your services, booking page and no-show policy.

Can I see the software before buying?+

Yes. A live booking demo is available at app.smartgroom.app. You can also contact us for a walkthrough of the full system.

What happens if SmartGroom isn't right for me?+

SmartGroom offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. If SmartGroom is not the right fit for your grooming business, you can request a refund within 30 days according to the refund policy.

Does SmartGroom support multiple staff members?+

SmartGroom is built for independent and solo groomers. It does not currently support multiple staff calendars, separate groomer logins, or commission tracking. If you run a multi-groomer salon and need per-staff scheduling, a platform like MoeGo or GlossGenius may be a better fit today.

What happens after the first year of support?+

Your software and booking page keep running exactly as before — nothing stops or locks you out. The first year includes support, updates and bug fixes. After that, you can optionally renew for $50/year to continue receiving support, updates and bug fixes. If you choose not to renew, the software you purchased continues to work; you just won't receive new updates or priority support.

Can I manage SmartGroom from my phone?+

Yes. SmartGroom is a responsive Progressive Web App (PWA) — the admin dashboard works fully on your phone, tablet or desktop browser. No separate app download needed.

Can I customise my booking page?+

Your booking page uses a standard template that is clean and mobile-friendly. If you need changes to match your branding or preferences, we'll customise it for you at no extra cost — just ask during setup or any time after.
