Software for grooming salons: pet record and vaccination tracking

Updated Sep 16, 2026· 6 min read

In grooming, the client is the owner, but you're servicing the pet. That's why the system needs a separate pet record with history and vaccinations, not just a person's contact details. MCC's ready-made service keeps a record for every pet, automatically blocks booking without a valid vaccination, calculates price by size, and shows "before/after" photos — all under your brand.

Pet record with history

Every pet gets its own profile linked to the owner: breed, size, behavior notes, visit history, and documents. Before a procedure, the groomer immediately sees who the client is and what was done last time — no need to remember anything or dig through messages.

Vaccination control: booking is blocked automatically

This is the main difference between grooming and a hair salon. The pet's record stores vaccination information with an expiration date. If it's expired, the system won't let the booking be confirmed until the document is updated. This way the salon never takes in an unvaccinated pet — that protects other clients and reduces business risk.

Client document uploads. The owner can upload a vaccination certificate right in their client portal — you don't have to collect paperwork by hand.

Size-based pricing and procedure consent

Bathing and trimming a small Yorkie versus a large Malamute is different work at a different price. MCC keeps services priced by pet size, and the groomer picks the right option when booking. Before complex procedures, you can require the owner's signed consent (health condition, behavior, preferences) — just like an intake form at a salon.

"Before/after" photos and repeat clients

A result photo is a favorite feature among pet owners. The record keeps a history of "before" and "after" photos that are nice to show off and share. Meanwhile, "time for the next grooming" reminders and win-back campaigns bring clients back for repeat visits without manual phone calls.

Booking, reminders, and client portal

24/7 online booking with resource reservation (grooming table, tub), reminders with confirm/cancel options, and a waitlist for popular time slots — everything to keep the schedule packed. The client gets a portal with their pets and bookings, and the salon gets a ready-made branded website.
