In their own words
Collar
Collar is pet-business software for grooming appointments, scheduling, payments, and related operations. Groomers can accept booking requests around the clock, with availability controlled by breed, size, coat type, staff availability, and capacity rules. Schedules may be groomer-specific or shared across services. Automated reminders can use in-app chat, email, or SMS, based on customer preferences and past interactions. Businesses can request deposits, charge cards on file after appointments, and adjust totals before payment. Collar Chat supports text, photo, video, and report sharing, plus ready-to-collect notifications. Pet and owner profiles can store vaccination details, grooming notes, and contact information. Other listed tools include marketing campaigns, e-commerce, multi-site management, reporting, tagging automations, and staff task management. Collar runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with Stripe handling payment processing. Plans cost 49.00 GBP, 99.00 GBP, or £199 a month, with a 14-day trial.
