Pet groomers — Automation for pet groomers
Calls ring out over the dryers, rabies records go missing, and clients forget when their dog is due for the next groom. These are the parts software can take over, with the owner and groomers still deciding on matting, behavior and any health concern. 31 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for pet groomers.
