Running a dog grooming business shouldn’t feel this hard
We help dog groomers simplify admin, get compliant with Making Tax Digital, and put systems in place that make life easier, and support growth.
Are you spending too much time on admin and not enough time grooming?
Many dog groomers we speak to tell us the same things:
Bookings come through messages, calls or “when clients remember”
Cancellations and no-shows are frustrating
Payments aren’t always taken upfront
Admin gets done late at night (or not at all)
Receipts, expenses and income feel messy
Making Tax Digital sounds confusing or worrying
You know systems would help — but don’t know what to choose
You want to grow, but not at the cost of burning out
You’re not behind.
You’ve just reached the stage where your business needs better foundations.
