Grooming shop management software
Run your grooming shop from one app
$40 a month for the whole shop. No contract.
Every feature and every groomer, with no add-ons and no upgrade tiers. Booking, card payments, ready-to-send client texts, reports and the grooming board, with your shop’s name on it.
Set it up free for 30 days, no card needed. Your booking page and client emails turn on when you go live.
What it does
New in October
Every shop got each one the day it was ready, for the same $40 a month. No upgrade to buy.
Spanish for the whole team
Each person picks English or Español, and every staff screen follows: the calendar, checkout, the board and the books.
Your menu on the lobby and window TVs
Prices, deals and your own photos on any TV in the shop, set up wide or tall, changed from the app.
A booking page laid out your way
Three layouts, light or dark, and your own questions, like “Is this their first groom with us?”
Tips shared your way, refunds in payroll
Pick how tips are shared, give a helper part of a dog’s tip, and a refund takes back the same share of commission and tips.
Get paid the way you already do
Keep your own card machine, or take cash, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App or a check. Record it at checkout in one tap, and tips still go to the right groomer.
Want cards built in? Connect Stripe in Settings and send the total to a reader or the client’s phone, at Stripe’s standard fees. WagTab never adds a fee to any payment.
- On the counter reader
- Send the total to a Stripe card reader. The client taps, inserts or swipes, and can add a tip there.
- On their own phone
- They scan a code or open a texted link and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. No reader needed.
- Typed in
- For a client paying over the phone, type the card number.
- Deposits and cards on file
- Text a link to pay a deposit or save a card, and charge a no-show fee to it later.
One price for the whole shop
$40 a month per location covers every feature and every groomer. Nothing is sold separately: no fee per groomer, no extra charge for booking, reports or texts, and no higher plan to upgrade to. No contract. Or $300 a year, which works out to $25 a month.
Not in the $40: card fees, which go to your card company, not to WagTab. Texts go out from your own phone, so your phone plan covers them.

Works with Claude
Connect your shop to Claude once, then ask in plain words: who’s coming tomorrow, who’s overdue, what you took in last week.
Part of the $40. You need your own Claude account, and any plan works. The same connection works in ChatGPT, on a paid ChatGPT plan.
- Ask about your shop
- The day ahead, open times, clients you haven’t seen in weeks, sales and tips, and booking requests still waiting.
- Changes wait for your yes
- It can book, move or cancel a visit, answer a request, or change a price or your hours. It shows you the change first, and you can undo it from the activity log.
- What it never touches
- Payments, refunds, deleting a client or a visit, passwords and billing. Client phone numbers and emails stay hidden unless you turn them on.
- Owners and managers only
- It works as the person who connected it and can do only what they can. Disconnect it any time in Settings.
Before you switch
Do I pay extra for more groomers, texts or booking?
No. The $40 covers every feature and every groomer at one location, with no add-ons or higher plans. The only costs outside it are card fees, which go to your card company, and your own phone plan, which the texts go out on. Pricing
Can I bring everything over from the software I use now?
Yes, free: your clients, their pets and their visit history. Email the export from your old software, or your spreadsheet, to hello@wagtab.com and we bring it over by hand. Or import it yourself and check everything before it’s saved. How switching works
What happens if the internet goes down?
At the counter, WagTab needs a connection; a phone’s hotspot is enough until the Wi-Fi is back. In a van, the phone keeps today’s and tomorrow’s stops, and status changes, notes and cash payments wait and send when the signal returns.
How do texts and emails to my clients work?
Reminder and confirmation emails send themselves once you go live. Texts don’t send themselves yet: the app writes each one, one tap opens it in your phone’s messages or WhatsApp, and you press send. They go from your phone, so WagTab charges nothing for them.
How do I cancel?
In Settings, under Billing, with one tap. Everything keeps working to the end of what you’ve paid for, and you can change your mind until then. No partial refunds, and you can download your records whenever you like.
Try it with your shop’s name on it
Setting up is free for 30 days, with no card. Moving your clients over is free too.
