How AI Receptionist Solves These for Pet Grooming

1

Breed-Aware Booking

The AI knows grooming requirements by breed. A Goldendoodle needs different timing than a Chihuahua. It books the right appointment duration, assigns the right groomer, and sets proper pricing based on breed and size.

2

Recurring Groom Scheduling

Sets up automatic rebooking for regular clients — every 4 weeks, every 6 weeks — and confirms each appointment a few days before. Pet parents never have to remember to call and rebook.

3

New Client & Pet Intake

Collects breed, weight, temperament notes, vaccination records, and specific grooming preferences for first-time callers. Your groomer knows exactly what to expect before the dog walks in.

4

Holiday Rush Management

Pre-Thanksgiving and pre-Christmas call surges are handled seamlessly. The AI fills holiday slots in priority order, manages waitlists, and offers alternative dates when preferred times fill up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AI know different grooming requirements by breed?

Yes. You configure breed profiles with standard grooming times, pricing tiers, and common style options. The AI uses breed and size to quote accurate prices and book the right appointment length.

Can it handle recurring appointment scheduling?

Absolutely. Clients set their preferred frequency (every 4, 6, or 8 weeks), and the AI automatically schedules the next appointment. It sends reminders before each visit and handles rescheduling requests.

How does it verify vaccinations for new pets?

During intake, it asks for vaccination status and can request that owners send records via text or email before the first appointment. Unvaccinated pets are flagged for your review before confirmation.
