Pre-groom intake that captures coat condition, matting severity, and adjusts appointment duration and pricing accordingly. Online booking software that lets customers self-schedule appointments, sends automated reminders, and syncs with your calendar.
If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most dog grooming businesses deal with these every day.
Matted dogs that arrive for a standard groom but require dematting that takes triple the booked time
Aggressive or anxious dogs that need special handling but the groomer has no advance warning
Breed-specific grooming styles that vary per owner preference and nobody documents the specific cut instructions
Vaccination verification that is required but rarely checked until the dog is already on the grooming table
Holiday and seasonal booking surges that overwhelm capacity and frustrate loyal customers who cannot get an appointment
Every pain point above has a matching solution built into Deelo — no extra plugins, no extra cost.
Pre-groom intake that captures coat condition, matting severity, and adjusts appointment duration and pricing accordingly
Behavioral flag system that alerts groomers to anxiety, aggression, or handling notes before the dog arrives
Breed and style preference profiles per dog with groomer notes, blade lengths, and photo references from past grooms
Automated vaccination verification at booking that requires proof of current rabies and bordetella before confirming
Priority booking for loyal customers with waitlist management and automated rebooking reminders post-groom
Online booking software that lets customers self-schedule appointments, sends automated reminders, and syncs with your calendar. Eliminates the back-and-forth of phone and email scheduling.
