The problem

Dog grooming appointment software that ends phone tag

Groomers spend the day with their hands full — literally. When a client calls to book a bath or a full groom, you can't always answer, and every missed call is a missed booking. With dog grooming appointment software, clients book themselves 24/7 from your real-time calendar, and every appointment arrives confirmed with automatic SMS and email reminders. You stop playing phone tag and start every morning with a full, organized schedule.

Features

Everything a grooming business needs

Online booking, 24/7

Clients see your real-time availability and book grooming appointments themselves — from your website, Instagram, or Google Business profile.

Pet profiles

Track breed, size, coat type, temperament, and grooming notes for every pet, so each visit starts where the last one ended.

Automatic reminders

SMS and email reminders before every appointment cut no-shows dramatically. Add a deposit requirement for extra protection.

Staff scheduling

Set availability per groomer. Appointments automatically fit around each groomer's schedule, across one salon or several branches.

Waitlist

Fully booked? Clients join a waitlist and you fill cancellations in one click instead of losing the revenue.

Reports & insights

Revenue trends, popular services, busiest days. Run your grooming business with real numbers, not gut feel.

Billing

Pet grooming billing software that gets you paid faster

Invoices generate from the appointment itself — services, add-ons, and prices are already there. Clients pay online by card through your own Stripe or Square account, and you can send a payment link by text or email for anyone who prefers to pay later. No more end-of-day card machine queues or chasing unpaid grooms.

Retention

Keep dogs coming back on schedule

Most dogs need a groom every 4–8 weeks, but clients forget. SBM Portal helps you rebook clients before they leave, sell prepaid grooming packages and memberships that lock in repeat visits, and offer gift cards during the holidays. Predictable rebooking turns one-time clients into a full recurring calendar.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is dog grooming software?
Dog grooming software is a business management tool built for groomers. It combines online appointment booking, pet and client profiles, automated reminders, invoicing, and payments in one place — replacing phone bookings, paper calendars, and manual invoicing.
How much does dog grooming software cost?
SBM Portal starts at $29.99 CAD per month for a solo groomer. Growing salons with up to 5 groomers pay $69.99 per month, and established businesses with up to 15 groomers pay $199.99 per month. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
Can my clients book grooming appointments online?
Yes. Clients see your real-time availability and book 24/7 from your booking link — on your website, Instagram, or Google Business profile. Appointments land on your calendar automatically, with SMS and email confirmations and reminders.
How do reminders reduce grooming no-shows?
Automated SMS and email reminders go out before every appointment, so clients remember their slot or reschedule in time. Businesses using automated reminders typically cut no-shows dramatically, and you can also require a deposit at booking for extra protection.
Can I sell grooming packages or memberships?
Yes. You can sell prepaid grooming packages (for example, 5 grooms for the price of 4), recurring memberships, and gift cards. Credits are tracked automatically and applied when clients book.
Does it work for mobile groomers and multi-location salons?
Yes. Solo and mobile groomers use the Solo plan to manage bookings and billing from anywhere. Salons with multiple locations manage every branch, groomer schedule, and report from one dashboard.
