Pawbook
What Pawbook is
Pawbook is web software for grooming studios that covers scheduling, client and pet records, online booking, digital waivers, reminders, and payment tracking. Its schedule supports a week view, appointment start and finish, and automatic tracking of time on the floor. Dog and cat profiles can include breed, weight, temperament notes, service history, and an emergency contact. Clients can request appointments through a public booking page without downloading an app or creating an account, and can include multiple pets in one request. Studios can require digital waiver acceptance before a booking request, using templates for grooming liability, vaccination acknowledgement, and photo release. Pawbook emails appointment reminders 24 hours before appointments and sends receipts when a payment is logged. Studios can record cash, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or other payment types, but Pawbook does not process payments directly. Plans are billed per studio: Starter is $18 a month, Studio is $38 a month, and Pro is $68 a month. Each plan starts with a 14-day free trial without a credit card; there is no free plan.
