Features and benefits

• Breed-Specific Booking — The AI books the right time based on breed and coat type — from 45-minute poodle trims to 2-hour long-haired breed sessions — considering grooming style and bathing. According to Numa (2025), 80% of callers hang up without leaving a message.
• Recurring Appointments — Automatic scheduling of regular grooming every 4–8 weeks based on breed and coat growth — pet owners get reminders when it's time to book.
• Health Notes — The AI records allergies, skin conditions, and behavior notes for each dog so the groomer is always prepared.
• Multi-Pet Booking — Pet owners with multiple dogs can book all at once. The AI optimizes the schedule to fit multiple dogs from the same household.
