Pros

“This does it all for my grooming salon, boarding kennels, doggy daycares, retail and front end POS. ”

Kathryn S.

Owner

“It has *very* limited customization options. ”

Lauren R.

Owner

“I ofter 5 different pet services and finding a platform that can so easily support all of them makes my business run so much smoother than it ever has.”

Mary P.

Owner, Manager, Groomer, Dog Trainer

Pros

“I also like that clients can securely manage their credit cards for invoice payments, and I have the option to charge their card when needed.”

Rae D.

CEO

“Such efficient and friendly customer assistance, comprehensive options for my dog behaviour consulting business, group classes and private sessions, different locations, can message in the app, store customer info and notes, easily send out commonly used documents, have clients sign waivers and pay, all in this platform!”

Danika P.

Dog trainer and behaviour consultant

“My clients appreciate the self serve portal (I appreciate that it didn't cost extra to provide that service) that allows them to see their bookings, cancel and see their payment history”

Tasha S.

Owner, Trainer

Cons

“The ONLY thing I do not like about Paw Partner is that if I need to change a payment method to pay my monthly fee, I have to call it in.”

Ronnie H.

Owner

“The only draw back for the Paw Payments I've encountered thus far is that it takes a few days to go from client making payment to being in the bank. ”

Kathryn S.

Owner

“The only other change I would want to see that would make using it easier is to make manually reserving appointments on the calendar view easier and more intuitive when taking new clients (scheduling existing clients this way is SUPER easy, but if they aren't currently in the database, it's pretty frustrating to be on the phone with a new client-- who typically doesn't want to provide their information until after establishing an appointment date/ time-- establish an appointment date and time, then create the customer and pet profiles, go back in to reserve the time and it was swiped by another client while you were creating the customer profile). While I didn't have much need for it while I offered grooming, I know that many salons would like to be able to set up split commissions between their groomers and bathers, and Paw Partner doesn't currently offer this as an option.”

Meghan L.

Owner

Cons

“My customers and I get a little confused sometimes with package credits - available, used, scheduled etc.. as they are colored and worded differently on the client end.”

Caz G.

Owner

“Doesn't integrate well with my business as a behaviour consultant (no option for adjusting billing for other areas, clients found it hard to use, no zoom integration).While price point is good, since it is not operational for me, will use a different company when renewal comes up”

Barbara D.

Behaviour Consultant

“Credit issues on customer accounts, sometimes they are a bit glitchy.”

Rachael S.
