Real-Time Control for Dog Grooming Operations

Running dog grooming means juggling appointments, intake/consent, baths, haircuts, nail trims, de-shedding, ear/teeth cleaning, specialty shampoos, drying/crate rotations, pickups/drop-offs, and client updates — often across overlapping bookings and multiple vans or rooms. Teams need live visibility of who is available, which groomer is on a pet, what equipment/supplies are assigned, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Dog Grooming — clear statuses, clean handoffs between reception/coordinator and groomers, and full service logs owners can trust.

This grooming-ready Field Service solution streamlines operations by routing appointments, assigning the right groomer by pet size/coat/temperament, and tracking progress and service time in real time. Whether you’re running a mobile unit or a busy salon, Shifton keeps tasks organized, auditable, and off scattered chats.

With Shifton, teams cut no-shows and double-bookings, keep owners informed without back-and-forth texting, and maintain consistent quality and hygiene across busy days.
