Before you hold the time
What do you need to know before you say yes?
Check what the dog needs, what to quote and who can take the groom. Start with the question you need help answering.
Price the dog you are likely to meet
Quote from the pet details. Check the coat at arrival.
Ask about size, coat and handling before booking. If the dog arrives with more matting or needs extra care, discuss the revised work and price before you begin.
01 · Before booking
Ask what changes the work.
Size, coat, time since the last groom and handling answers can change the starting price and planned duration before a slot is offered.
Prices based on pet details
02 · At arrival
Check the booking against the dog.
If the condition or scope is materially different, explain the safe options, added time and changed price before extra work begins.
The groomer's decision
03 · Extra work
Coming soonPut a rate behind the added time.
Time-based extras will let the business record additional time against its chosen rate, so a harder groom is not quietly charged like an ordinary one.
Agreed change first · Charge second
04 · Next visit
Use today's notes for the next booking.
Keep the coat condition, handling notes, photos and what happened with the pet. The next groom starts from evidence instead of the owner's memory alone.
Your customer knows what you're charging for, and your team has time for the work you've agreed.
Is this dog a fit for this day?
Check the dog's needs and your available equipment.
Use the pet details to set the expected time. Available bookings also need a suitable groomer and the baths, tables or dryers you've assigned to the service.

What is the best software for a dog grooming business in Australia?
Choose software that fits how your shop books and grooms. Check whether it handles your pet notes, assistants, drop-offs and shared dryers without you having to track them separately.
Try a booking for a dog that needs extra time, a second pet and a particular groomer. Then compare payments, payroll and accounting connections, phone number transfers, support and which existing records can move across.
Start with the plan that covers the work your shop actually does. Check optional costs and higher-plan features before choosing.
04 / Running the shop

Read guides on booking questions, pricing, planning a busy day and talking with customers.
