Dog Groomers & Salons

Software for dog grooming salons and groomersEvery dog comes with its own history.

How long does de-matting take for Fiete? Who bites when you clip their nails? When was Balu last in? FellDesk keeps that right where you need it — when you open the appointment, not in a notebook under the counter.

The profile knows the dog, not just the name

As a salon you get exactly the fields that matter at the table — no care schedules, no feeding plans, no clutter from an industry that isn't yours.

  • Coat type / length – long, curly, tends to mat on the belly
  • Behaviour while grooming – fidgety when blow-drying, bites when trimming nails
  • Last groomed – free text
  • Allergies – highlighted in red so nobody misses it

Three moments where it pays off

The phone booking

Ms. Sölken calls and wants "the usual". You see the service, duration and price from June — and instantly know whether the 2pm slot is enough.

The dog on the table

New temp staff, unfamiliar dog. The profile says he snaps during nail trimming and the dryer may only run on setting 1. No asking around, no incident.

The month-end close

What came in this month? The dashboard totals up completed treatments. Cancelled ones stay out, otherwise the number would be wrong.

What the first week looks like

No import, no training, no setup day. What you actually do is three things — and two of them happen alongside your normal work.

1

Choose your business type

When you create the account you pick "dog salon". From then on every pet record carries the fields that matter at the grooming table: coat type and length, behaviour during grooming, allergies and the date of the last visit. No field setup, no configuration.

2

Add regulars as you go

Instead of sacrificing an evening to your card box, you add each client at their next appointment. After two or three weeks of normal operation your active client base is in. Anyone who came only once needs no record.

3

Fixed rhythms as a series

The poodle that comes every eight weeks is entered once as a recurring appointment — weekly, fortnightly or monthly. From then on the follow-ups appear in the calendar by themselves. If one is missed, you cancel it individually without breaking the series.

Before you start

What is simply there at the end of the month

Every appointment carries a service and a price. Tick it off as done and FellDesk counts it towards the monthly overview. At the end of the month you see how many treatments actually took place and what came in — no tally sheet, no recalculating at the kitchen table.

This replaces neither bookkeeping nor a till. It answers the question that used to be answered only roughly: was this month better than the last, and why?

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about FellDesk, data privacy, and getting started.

Can I save special grooming and care notes per dog?
Yes! In the Dog Salon business type, you have specific fields like coat type, coat length, drying behavior, and cutting preferences. At every follow-up appointment, you immediately see what was agreed upon last time.
How does FellDesk help me keep track of allergies and skin issues?
Allergies, intolerances, or sensitive skin areas are highlighted in red in the pet profile. This way, every groomer at the table instantly sees all safety and care warnings.
Can I customize treatment services and prices for grooming?
Yes, you can create custom services (e.g. full grooming, hand stripping, wash & blow dry, nail clipping) along with duration and pricing.
Is FellDesk also suitable for mobile dog groomers?
Perfectly suited! Because FellDesk runs in your mobile smartphone browser, you have all client addresses, phone numbers, and care notes right at hand while on the road.
How do I avoid appointment cancellations and downtime in the salon?
With our clear calendar management, you keep track of openings. When cancellations happen, you have waitlisted regular clients at your fingertips to fill the slot.
