  1. Book a groom

    Use the sample customer when the form offers it: the pet parent portal is signed in as that customer.

    The admin dashboard already has it on the day you picked, next to the sample data.

  3. Open the Pet parent portal

    The same record from the customer's side.

Everything you enter stays in this browser, and nothing is sent to a real business. Reset demo in the top bar restores the sample data.

The business problem

What changes for Paw & Polish

Before

Without a system

  1. Pet details live in the groomer's memory.
  2. A new groomer doesn't know Bruno hates the dryer.
  3. Vaccine records are checked at the counter, if at all.
  4. Nobody knows which dogs are overdue for a groom.

After

With the Paw & Polish system

  1. Each pet has breed, weight, temperament, preferences and notes.
  2. Groomers see the pet's history, notes and care flags before they start.
  3. Expiring vaccines are flagged on the schedule.
  4. Owners get a rebooking reminder based on each pet's cycle.

Workflows

What the system handles

The flows this business depends on, built on the shared platform and set up for how it works.

  1. 01

    Multi-pet households

    One account, several pets, each with their own profile and history.

  2. 02

    Pet-first booking

    Select the pet, then services and durations adjust to breed and size.

  3. 03

    Grooming history

    Every visit records the groomer, services and notes. A real salon can attach the photo taken at pickup.

  4. 04

    Care flags

    Temperament, allergies and vaccine status surface on the groomer's schedule.
