Booking page for dog groomers

More than dog grooming booking software: the salon’s books in one calendar

Booking is only the start of a groomer’s admin: after the dog goes home there is an invoice to write, shampoo to reorder and a month to close. In Klendr all of that hangs off the same appointment, so nothing gets typed twice.

• Accounting and invoices — a PDF invoice with VAT goes to the owner automatically after the groom, and a breeder who brings several dogs a month can get an invoice with a payment due date. Month end means one export of every invoice (CSV and a PDF archive) and the Stripe deposits. Klendr is not accounting software: it hands over the paperwork, and the books stay with whoever keeps them for the salon. Invoices and deposits
• Inventory management — set how much whitening shampoo, conditioner and ear cleaner a full groom on a large breed uses, and every appointment writes it off. Slicker brushes or coat sprays you sell to owners go on the same invoice and leave the stock, and an email warns you before the last bottle runs out.
• Client records — each owner’s card holds every visit with the dog, the services, what was paid, missed appointments and your notes on coat and temperament, and the whole base can be exported.
• Analytics and reports — revenue, what materials cost you, profit, hours worked, the busiest days of the shedding season and the services and clients that bring the most. Analytics

Why a grooming salon needs dog grooming booking software

Grooming is hands-on work. While you are drying a Samoyed or holding a nervous terrier still on the table, you cannot answer the phone, and the owner who cannot reach you books with the next groomer on Google. Messages in Instagram and WhatsApp pile up the same way and get answered in the evening, when the free slot is already gone.

With a booking page, the owner chooses the service, sees real free times and books without waiting for your reply. You get a confirmed appointment in the calendar with the phone number, the dog’s name and breed, and your hands stay on the dog. Put the link in your Instagram bio, Google profile and WhatsApp status, and print a QR code for the reception desk.

Durations that match the dog’s size and coat

A full groom on a Yorkshire terrier and on a Bernese mountain dog are not the same job, and a single "Full groom — 90 min" service breaks your whole day. In Klendr you create separate services for small, medium and large breeds, each with its own duration and price, and group them so the owner finds the right one quickly.

The calendar then reserves exactly as much time as the dog needs: an hour and a half for a small breed, two hours for a cocker spaniel, three for a golden retriever in heavy coat. Combine services in one booking, such as a hygiene groom plus a nail trim, and the time adds up automatically. Owners see only slots where the whole visit fits, so a large dog is never squeezed into a 45-minute gap.

Keep the hygiene groom (paws, face, sanitary area, nails) separate from the full haircut, and add an express deshedding service for spring and autumn, when double-coated breeds blow their coat and every owner wants an appointment at once.

A card for every dog, not just every owner

Your client is the owner, but you are working with the dog. In the client base you keep notes for each visit: the dog’s name and breed, which blade or length you used last time, a shampoo allergy or sensitive skin, and temperament — snaps when the paws are touched, afraid of the dryer, needs a muzzle, gets anxious if the owner stays.

When the dog comes back in six weeks, you open the appointment and see all of it before the dog is on the table. A new groomer on the team does not have to learn the hard way that Max hates the clippers near his ears. Visit history shows when the dog was last groomed, and the client base can be exported whenever you need it.

What Klendr does for a grooming salon

Everything works in the browser on a phone or computer, and the Android app is in Google Play.

• Booking page — a link like klendr.me/your-salon with services by dog size, photos of your work and only free times. Owners book in four steps without an app or an account. How the booking page works
• Calendar — day, week and month views, breaks, days off and holidays, a colour per service, drag and drop to move a dog to another time, and protection against double bookings. More about the calendar
• Reminders — the owner gets an email confirmation immediately and a reminder by email and SMS the day before, in their own language, with a link to reschedule or cancel. Notifications
• Deposits — a prepayment through Stripe for long appointments such as a full groom on a large breed; it is refunded when the owner cancels in time. Online deposits
• Team — on the Team plan, several groomers share one calendar and one salon booking page, also across several addresses.

Fewer no-shows and a steady 6–8 week rhythm

An empty three-hour slot for a large dog hurts more than a missed nail trim. The day-before SMS reminder catches owners who simply forgot, and the reschedule link lets them move the visit themselves instead of not turning up. For new clients and long grooms you can ask for a deposit, which turns a casual booking into a commitment.

Most coats need attention every 6 to 8 weeks. When the owner picks up the dog, book the next visit straight away in the calendar, or send the link so they choose a time at home. The appointment reaches them with a reminder, and your schedule fills weeks ahead.

Sync with Google Calendar or Apple Calendar keeps private plans and salon bookings in one place.

Here is how a grooming menu appears on your booking page. The duration matters as much as the price: it decides how much of your day each dog takes.

Prices are an example for Estonia; you set your own services, durations and prices.
