Client Intake and Booking Systems

Client Intake and Booking Systems

Professional systems make you look established, even if you just started.

Intake form (every new client): Owner info, dog details, vaccination records, health issues, behavioral notes, grooming preferences, emergency vet contact.

Booking options:

  • Starting out: Google Calendar plus a phone number
  • Growing: A booking app with reminders and client records
  • Professional: A grooming-specific platform that tracks pet history and sends automated reminders

Automated reminders are non-negotiable. Send 24 hours before appointments. No-shows cost $75-$100+. Reminders cut no-shows by 80%.
