Dog groomers · Dunedin, Otago
Booking software for dog groomers in Dunedin
Dunedin has a cool climate, plenty of hills and a strong outdoor culture, from beach walks at St Clair and St Kilda to tracks around the Otago Peninsula. Dogs here tend to carry heavier coats through winter and need more washing and de-shedding through the year.
BookAndGo lets owners book those grooms online without ringing around. They choose the groom, pick a real open time and answer your questions while booking, such as coat type and when the dog was last groomed. Service lengths and buffers keep a de-shed from running into the next appointment.
When an owner books, they get a confirmation email, and a reminder before the day with a link to reschedule within your notice rules.

Built for Dunedin dog groomers
Many Dunedin owners prefer to keep a dog's coat longer through the colder months and go shorter as the weather warms, so the type of groom booked changes with the season. Setting up separate services for a winter tidy and a summer clip, each with its own length, makes that easy for owners to choose correctly.
The city mixes long-time residents with a large student population, and the hill suburbs can be steep and slow to get around. Clear arrival times and a reminder help owners have the dog ready, and for a mobile groomer, setting your service area by postcode keeps you working the parts of the city you choose.
Dunedin dogs live with cold winters, wet weather and a lot of hills and beaches. Coats grow thick through winter and come off in spring, which is the busy season, and St Clair, St Kilda and the Peninsula beaches send plenty of dogs home sandy. Every dog over three months must be registered with Dunedin City Council for each registration year, which starts on 1 July, and the council reminds owners to check their dog's microchip from time to time.
Owners here often ask for a winter tidy that keeps the dog warm, and a shorter clip once the weather turns. Students who share a flat dog are a small but real part of the trade, and they book late at night.
BookAndGo lets owners choose a winter tidy or a summer clip as separate services, answer breed, coat and temperament questions while they book, and receive a reminder by email. A minimum booking notice keeps bookings from landing too close to now, and mobile groomers set a service area by postcode.
Frequently asked
Can owners choose between a winter tidy and a summer clip?
Set up each groom as its own service with its own length, and owners pick the one they want on your booking page.
Can I ask when the dog was last groomed?
Yes. Booking questions such as last groom date or coat condition are answered by the owner and shown on the appointment.
I do not want bookings too close to now. Can I set a minimum notice?
You can set a minimum booking notice so times close to the present are not shown, and choose how far ahead owners can book.
Can I print a tax invoice for a groom?
Invoices for a New Zealand business carry your GST number, NZBN and a GST line, are numbered in order and can be sent by email.
Spring is my busy season. Can regulars book their spring clip early?
Yes. Let them hold a repeating booking, or send an email campaign to clients who ticked to receive your emails, with a link to book.
Can I ask whether the dog is used to being groomed?
Yes. Add it as a booking question, and read the answer before the dog arrives.
