Dog Grooming Booking That Knows a Poodle Takes Longer Than a Nail Trim
Mythex lets a pet grooming salon build booking where the slot length comes from the breed and service, a groom card for every dog with blade lengths and a finished photo, a list of dogs overdue their usual interval, and invoices with a fair dematting line. Describe your salon, check the live preview and publish.
A day that is a puzzle of tables and dryers
A full groom on a standard poodle can take three hours; a nail trim takes ten minutes. When bookings come in by phone and Instagram with a slot length guessed on the spot, the afternoon runs late. Every dog has its own coat, cut and temperament: 'a 7 on the body, scissor the legs, hates the dryer on his face'. That lives in the groomer's head until a colleague covers. Regulars rebook every four to eight weeks, and dogs that slip past their interval arrive matted, which means a shave and a difficult conversation. Spring shedding and the weeks before Christmas fill the book.
- Slot lengths by breed, coat and service
- Groom cards with blades, cut and behaviour notes
- Finished photos to repeat the same groom
- Rebook reminders by each dog's interval
- Matting policy and surcharge by time
- Groomer and bather pairs on busy days
What you can build for pet grooming salons
Booking that sizes the slot for the dog
Owners choose their dog and a service: full groom, bath and brush, de-shed or nails. The slot length comes from your breed and service table, adjusted by your own records over time. Puppy introductions get their own short slot.
Build online booking for my dog grooming salon. Owners pick their dog and service (full groom, bath and brush, de-shed, nail trim, puppy intro). Slot length comes from a table of breed size and coat type by service that I can edit. Each groomer has their own column and bookings cannot overlap.
Groom cards and overdue dogs
Every dog has a groom card: breed, coat, blade numbers, cut style, behaviour and a photo of the finished groom. Dogs past their usual interval appear on a reminder list before they mat.
Create a client and dog CRM for a grooming salon. Each dog has breed, coat type, blade numbers, cut notes, behaviour notes, usual interval in weeks and a photo of each finished groom. List dogs more than 2 weeks past their usual interval.
Owners see the last groom
Owners log in to see their dog's last groom photo and notes, book 'the same as last time' and see upcoming appointments.
Make an owner portal for a dog groomer showing each dog's last groom photo, cut notes, next appointment and a 'book same groom again' button.
A dematting line priced by time
Services, extras like teeth or ear cleaning, and a dematting surcharge per 15 minutes, explained at pickup.
Add invoicing for a grooming salon with services, extras and a dematting surcharge charged per 15 minutes with a note field explaining it.
Groomer and bather pairs
On busy days, pair a bather with a groomer so prep and drying run alongside finishing work.
Create a staff schedule for a dog grooming salon with groomers and bathers, pairing a bather with a groomer on busy days, and showing each pair's dogs for the day.
Shampoos, blades and sharpening dates
Stock of shampoos and conditioners with reorder levels, and each blade's last sharpening date with a reminder.
Build an inventory list for a grooming salon with shampoos, conditioners, sprays and blades. Blades have size and last sharpening date with a reminder every 6 weeks.
Learn your real times
Log the actual start and finish of each groom for a month. Ask the app to compare them with the planned slot by breed and service. You will find the bookings that always overrun, often doodles and double coats, and can fix the slot table instead of running late every afternoon.
- Planned versus actual minutes
- Overruns by breed
- Slot table updated from real data
Matting policy on the website
Explain before the first visit what happens if a dog is matted: when you shave instead of brush out, and how the surcharge works. Owners who have read it are far less upset when you call. Put the policy in the booking confirmation too.
Questions
Can booking lengths change by breed?
Yes. Give Mythex a table of times by breed or coat type and service, and booking uses it to size each slot.
Can owners book online themselves?
Yes. You can let regulars book directly and keep new dogs to a request you approve.
Can I take deposits for no-shows?
Yes, through a payment provider you connect with your own account.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe your services and rules in chat.
Is it free?
You can build and publish on Free with no card. Pro is $25 a month with a custom domain, more credits and phone apps that open your published app.
