What Pawbook is

Pawbook is grooming studio software for organizing appointments, client and pet details, online booking, waivers, reminders, and payment records. Its schedule gives studios a week view, supports starting and finishing appointments, and tracks time on the floor automatically. Dog and cat profiles can store breed, weight, temperament notes, service history, and an emergency contact.

Clients can request appointments from a public booking page without downloading an app or creating an account, and can include multiple pets in one request. Studios may require digital waiver acceptance before a request is submitted, using templates for grooming liability, vaccination acknowledgement, or photo release. Pawbook emails appointment reminders 24 hours before a visit and sends a receipt when a payment is logged. Staff can record cash, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or other payment types, though Pawbook does not process payments directly.

The web service has three plans billed per studio: Starter at $18 a month, Studio at $38 a month, and Pro at $68 a month. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, with no credit card required. The company says studio data belongs to the studio and can be exported before account closure.
