You price by size, so size has to be a field
Every pet has weight and breed on file as real data, not a note somebody typed in the margin. A 62lb golden and a 9lb terrier price differently.
Built around the pet, not the invoice
Grooming, walking, boarding, day care. QuixChex keeps a record for every pet — breed, weight, handling notes — books them in, takes the payment at the counter, and texts the owner when their dog is ready.
Why pet services is different
Where It Gets Hard
The handling notes matter more than the booking
“Nervous with clippers, prefers the quiet room” lives on the pet's record, so whoever takes the appointment next already knows.
Owners want the reveal, and they want it now
Snap a before and after, then send the pickup notice — the owner gets a message that their dog is ready and looking fabulous.
Day one
What's Built In
Tell QuixChex you run a pet services business and it sets the account up around how the work actually happens — before you've typed anything.
A record for every pet
Species, breed, weight in pounds, photo and handling notes — the things that actually decide how the appointment goes.
Before & after photos
Two shots on the appointment, kept against the pet, so the owner can see the difference and you have a record of the condition.
Automatic pickup notice
One tap tells the owner their pet is ready to collect, so the front desk isn't ringing round at closing time.
Six-week rebooking
Grooming is a cycle. The next appointment is offered at the right interval instead of waiting for the owner to remember.
A register at the counter
Take payment on the spot when they collect — card or ACH — and the receipt goes out on its own.
Owners see their own history
Send a link and the owner can pull up past appointments, what was done and what they paid, without ringing you.
How a job runs
One Job, Start to Finish
The owner books in. Their pet's record already has the breed, the weight and the handling notes from last time. The groomer takes the before shot, does the work, takes the after shot, and sends the pickup notice. Payment is taken at the register, and the next appointment is set for six weeks out.

FAQ
Questions, Answered
Is this for a pet shop or a grooming business?
A service business — groomers, dog walkers, boarding and kennels, day care, mobile grooming. The customer is the pet owner and the pet is what gets booked in. It's not a retail catalogue system.
Can one owner have several pets?
Yes. Pets belong to the owner, each with their own breed, weight, photo and handling notes, and each gets booked separately.
Do I get a crew map like the field trades?
Not by default, because a grooming salon doesn't need one — your account only switches on what your trade uses. If you run mobile grooming and want it, it can be turned on.
