The Pet Grooming Boom: Managing Breed-Specific Service Times

The pet grooming industry is exploding, but it faces a unique challenge: variable timing. You can't just book a "groom"—a Great Dane is a different job than a Chihuahua. Manual booking is a nightmare. AI fixes it.

The "It Depends" Problem

When a client books online, they pick "Full Groom." They show up with a matted Goldendoodle. You booked 60 minutes; you needed 120. Your whole day is now ruined.

Smart Logic Variables

Seglo's booking engine allows for Conditional Logic.

• Breed Selection: The system forces a breed selection, which automatically adjusts the appointment length.
• Size/Weight Modifiers: "Large" adds 30 minutes and $20 automatically.
• Add-on Detection: "De-shedding" adds 15 minutes.

When the AI takes a call, it asks these questions. "What breed is he? How much does he weigh?" It calculates the perfect slot size before confirming.

Key Takeaways

• Precision Scheduling: Stop guessing. Let data define the slot length.
• Revenue Protection: Charge correctly for large/complex jobs automatically.
• Staff Sanity: No more rushing through a big dog because the booking was wrong.
