Questions that describe the job
Ask for breed, size, coat condition, and handling notes when the owner books, so the groomer knows what to expect.
Pet grooming studios management software
Pet grooming booking that knows the dog, not just the time.
Karavex lets pet grooming studios take bookings online by service and groomer, collect breed, coat, and temperament details first, and keep each pet’s notes and history on the owner’s client profile.
The core problem
The same service takes a different time for every dog.
A bath for a small short-coated dog and full grooming for a matted double coat are not the same appointment. When owners book a generic slot, the groomer learns the real job when the dog walks in.
Temperament, handling notes, and last visit’s clip length often live on a card or in one groomer’s memory. Regular clients want the same rhythm every few weeks, and rebooking by message takes time away from grooming.
Karavex asks the questions that describe the job before the booking is accepted, keeps notes and visit history on the owner’s client profile, and lets you set recurring appointments for regulars.
Software guide
What is pet grooming software?
Pet grooming software lets owners book grooming online and describe their dog first, so the groomer knows the breed, size, coat, and temperament before the appointment.
Services can differ by dog size and grooming type, each with its own duration. Notes and visit history stay on the owner’s client profile, and regular clients can be booked on a repeating schedule.
Feature deep-dive
Built for the rhythm of pet grooming studios.
Services by dog size and fur type
Offer separate services for different sizes and grooming styles, each with its own duration, buffer, and deposit rule.
Recurring grooming appointments
Book regulars on a repeating schedule once, instead of rebooking every few weeks by message.
Notes the next groomer can use
Keep clip lengths, temperament, and handling notes on the client profile for whoever takes the next appointment.
Operational excellence
A fuller calendar with fewer loose ends.
Open with a reliable day view
See confirmed appointments, staff assignments, deposits, intake details, and schedule pressure before the first client arrives.
Make every client handoff clear
Notes and status stay with the appointment so reception, specialists, and owners do not rebuild context from messages.
Turn repeat visits into durable growth
Connected booking and client history makes rebooking, retention, and revenue patterns easier to understand.
Pet grooming studios FAQ
Questions owners ask before switching.
Can owners tell us about their dog before the appointment?
Yes. Booking questions are part of the booking, so breed, coat, and handling details arrive before the dog does and stay on the client profile.
Can full grooming take longer than a bath?
Yes. Each service has its own duration and buffer, so full grooming and a bath reserve the time they actually take.
Can regulars be booked every few weeks?
Yes. Karavex supports recurring appointments, so a regular client is booked on a repeating schedule instead of rebooking each time.
Can we require a deposit?
Yes. Deposit rules are set per service, so longer grooming appointments can require commitment while quick services stay free to book. Online deposits are included on the Pro and Studio plans.
