The problem

You can't answer the phone with a wet dog on the table

When you're mid-groom, holding a nervous dog still, running clippers, or rinsing shampoo, you cannot stop to answer a call. But the new puppy owner looking for a first groom is calling now. They are not leaving a voicemail. They are calling the next groomer on the list.

  • 70% of people looking for a pet groomer won't leave a voicemail
  • Pet owners call 2-3 groomers and book whoever answers first
  • That adds up to 5-8 lost bookings per month
  • A regular grooming client is worth £80+/month in recurring revenue
