Dog groomers · Palmerston North, Manawatū-Whanganui
Booking software for dog groomers in Palmerston North
Palmerston North is a flat, family-friendly city with a university, a lot of rentals and plenty of space for dogs, from walks along the Manawatū River to the parks around the city. Owners here range from students with a first dog to families on larger sections and farmers from across the Manawatū.
With BookAndGo, all of them book the same way: from your booking page, choosing the groom they need and a real open time. Your booking questions cover breed, size and anything the dog finds hard, and the answers are waiting on the appointment.
A confirmation email goes out with each booking and a reminder before the day, so fewer dogs miss their appointment.

Built for Palmerston North dog groomers
The Manawatū is known for wind and for wet, muddy winters, which means more full baths and de-sheds than quick tidies through the colder months. Giving each groom an honest length and a buffer after it keeps a salon day on time even when every dog arrives dirty.
The city's student population means some clients come and go with the academic year, and rental moves can change who is where. A booking page that new owners can find, and client records you can look back on when a familiar dog turns up with a new owner address, keep things simple. Groomers who travel out to Feilding, Ashhurst or the rural plains can set those postcodes as part of their service area.
Palmerston North is flat, green and full of dogs, from student flat dogs to working dogs on the farms around Feilding and Ashhurst. Every dog over three months must be registered with Palmerston North City Council, or Manawatū District Council outside the city, for each registration year, which starts on 1 July, and new registrations need a microchip, so owners are used to keeping their dog's details in order.
Spring is the busy clip season as coats come off after a cold, windy Manawatū winter, and farm dogs arrive muddy and matted at any time of year. Defence families move in and out with postings, so a groomer here is regularly gaining new clients looking online.
BookAndGo lets owners book the groom they need without calling, answer questions about breed, coat and temperament while they book, and receive a reminder by email. Mobile groomers set a service area by postcode and take the owner's address at booking, so country runs stay on their own days.
Frequently asked
Lots of my clients are students. Can they book without calling?
Yes. They book from your booking page at any hour, and get a confirmation email straight away.
Can I go out to Feilding but not further?
Set the postcodes you cover as your service area, and the client's address is taken at booking.
Can two groomers share one salon calendar?
Yes. Each groomer appears side by side in one calendar, with their own hours and days off.
Can I see every past groom for a dog?
Each client record keeps booking history and notes, so you can see what was done last time.
New defence families arrive with their dogs. Can they find and book me online?
Yes. Share your booking page or add the booking button to your website, and new owners choose a groom and a time themselves.
Farm dogs can be matted and nervous. Can I find out before they come?
Yes. Ask about coat condition and temperament as booking questions, and read the answers on the appointment.
