The only thing is that sometimes if the days are too long it's a little hard to book dogs as it won't let you scroll all the way down. ----- ### "It is the first software I use in my business and sometimes I have thought about changing it for all the reasons mentioned before." — 4.0/5 > **MILTON** | *22 September 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: very simple and easy to use software. Among the most significant advantages are reminder messages, although these cause confusion for customers since messages are sent to the same numbers and they get annoyed because they do not receive a response, so it would be very helpful if they fix that. > > **Cons**: it does not have the option to add client forms in PDF to archive them for each client and this is something very important since we must have a record of client consents and these must remain in the record of each client. The payment gateway only works with certain point of sale systems, which limits its use. > > In general, it is considered a good software for dog grooming, but its simplicity makes it inefficient for businesses that require extensive control over clients, sales reports, and management of expenses and inventory. Also, having to work directly from the web is a bit cumbersome, and from my experience, it is preferable to work with a desktop application. ... ----- ### "DaySmart review." — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *31 March 2026* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s very user friendly. My employees figure it out quickly as well. S healing, pet notes, clients notes, directions to clients house, credit card processing etc. > > **Cons**: So far I have not had any issues that have bothered me or caused me any stress or that I couldn’t get a work around to the issue. > > I’ve used it for years now with almost zero issues. If something like a glitch comes up, the help team is easy to access and the problem resolves quickly. ----- ### "May want to look elsewhere" — 1.0/5 > **Cayly** | *28 January 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was amazing BEFORE their upgrades, but now their service seems to be constantly messing up. > > **Cons**: Their scheduling/remote/texting service has been offline SO MANY TIMES over the last couple of months. It is insane. > > Their service was AMAZING before they started "upgrading" their services. Now their online service and texting only works every so often, and will often go down for HOURS before coming back up... and during that period of time, I cannot reply to customers or check scheduling. I have put in multiple tickets, all to have customer service say "we are aware of the issue".... nothing else. Our business has been a customer for 13+ years, and we are actually considering going elsewhere. ----- ### "I like this software and it is affordable without a contract" — 4.0/5 > **Karee** | *15 January 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use. The support is great. Easy to learn. Easy to add new employees. I recommend it to other grooming salons. > > **Cons**: There are options that should be included that aren't. Also I don't like how the appt times adjust hen you add a second dog to an appt. > > It is good. Great support. Easy to add new employees. I recommend it to other grooming salons. I would choose it again ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106315/daysmart-pet?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106315/daysmart-pet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
