Treatwell Alternative for Dog Groomers: 0% Commission & True Independence
Marketplaces like Treatwell take up to 35% commission on first-time bookings, eating into your margins and fostering platform dependence. Worst of all, clients belong to the marketplace, which actively promotes competing salons with discount campaigns. With FurBooker, you build your own independent booking channel: 0% commissions, your own salon branding, and direct customer relationships via WhatsApp.

The Common Daily Frustrations Without Dedicated Software
When tools are not designed for pet groomers, you pay with wasted hours, stress, and lost revenue.
Up to 35% commission on first-time client bookings: On a €90 grooming service, over €30 goes straight to the portal – revenue you worked hard for at the grooming table.
Clients belong to the platform rather than your salon: The directory owns the customer emails and advertises discounted competitor salons nearby.
Inflexible pricing for matted or difficult coats: Pet parents book standard cheap slots for dogs that arrive heavily tangled, requiring double the labor with no easy surcharge mechanism.

Are You Charging Enough for Your Grooming Services?
Our interactive price calculator computes your target hourly wage and breed rates based on your salon overhead, billable hours, and tax reserves.
“I’m self-employed as a dog groomer, and honestly, the organization and admin side was always the worst part of my job. Appointments, messages, notes about dogs, receipts, expenses - everything was scattered somewhere or only in my head. In the evenings after work, I really didn’t have any energy left for it. With FurBooker, I finally have everything in one place. I can instantly see when a dog was last here, what was done, how long it took, how the dog behaved, and what was charged. That gives me confidence when customers ask for new appointments. What I find especially helpful is that I can simply photograph receipts and they’re captured automatically, and that I can create appointments or to-dos by voice when I don’t have my hands free. For me, this doesn’t feel like “just another app”, it feels like less work after closing time. I can focus more on the dogs again - and that’s exactly why I chose this profession.”
