One owner does not mean one grooming history
Two dogs from the same household can have very different appointments. Keeping everything under a contact name makes it harder to distinguish which pet a conversation or visit concerns.
Software for pet groomers
Know the pet behind the appointment.
A household may bring several pets, each with a different grooming visit to arrange. Microtra connects pet records, client contacts, services and invoices so you can prepare for the appointment ahead.

The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
A full calendar still needs breathing room
Drop-offs, grooming time and clearing the workspace all take time. If you only write down a start time, the next appointment can arrive before you are ready for it.
The service can change after a conversation
A client requests an extra service or you agree on a different scope at drop-off. The price and appointment notes need to reflect that agreement before the owner returns.
Visit credits need more than a handwritten tally
If you offer a package, you need to distinguish the visits used from those still available. A note saying paid does not explain the client's remaining credits or expiration date.

Can I allow cleanup time between grooming services?
Services support durations and buffers, along with staff and availability. Create bookings inside the app and review the schedule conflict checks. You decide how much time each service needs and make the booking yourself.
Can pet owners book their own appointments online?

Can I track credits for a grooming package?
