What makes grooming hard to book
Every dog takes a different time
A small short-haired dog and a matted poodle are not the same job. Without the breed and the coat, the day is booked wrong.
Messages while you have a dog on the table
WhatsApp and Instagram messages pile up during a bath, and owners who do not get an answer book elsewhere.
No-shows on long services
A missed two-hour appointment leaves a table empty for a whole morning.
How it works
- Step 1
Connect your calendar and your channels
Sign in with Google to connect Google Calendar, and connect WhatsApp, Instagram and your number or a new one.
- Step 2
Add your services, sizes and prices
List your services with their duration by size and coat and your «from» prices, and whether long services need a deposit.
- Step 3
It books, reminds and tells the owner
The assistant books the right length around your tables, reminds the day before and, when you mark the dog as ready, tells the owner.
From message to action
A message arrives after hours. The AI assistant replies and acts in your system; for example, making the booking.

Questions from groomers
Do owners know they are talking to an assistant?
Yes. In its first reply the assistant says it is your grooming salon's automated assistant, and owners can ask for a person at any time.
How does it handle large breeds and several tables?
You set the duration by size and coat and how many grooming tables you have; the assistant only books what fits.
Who collects the deposit?
You do. The payment link is for your own account, and the card number never passes through the chat.
How does the «ready» message work?
When you mark the dog as ready, the assistant tells the owner on the channel they used to book.
Can owners book through Instagram?
Yes. Messages to your grooming salon's professional Instagram account are answered and booked like any other channel.
Can it remind owners of the next groom?
Only if the owner asks for it: a reminder of the next groom is a marketing message and needs their consent.
How much does it cost?
Prices are set per country. Tell us where your grooming salon is and we will send you the plans and prices for it.
