Over priced poor service too many glitches no user friendly below 1 star.

Despite buying it, it won't transfer to new owner when we sell kennel without paying hundreds all over again. Employees constantly complaining n about it.

We have been using kennel connection since we opened our kennel 4 1/2 years ago. Love the ease of using the program.

Over priced horrid customer service constant emails to pay them more money I am on here to find a better service for when I move and open my boarding kennel and it will not be kennel connection.

When it was working it was great - a little cumbersome to use but it did the job.

I hate customer service to the point that I was searching for other software to use. I like the functionality for the most part.

Kennel Connection is easy to use (very user friendly). I also like the fact that the software is always updating and making additions to better serve our customers.

It had a lot of features and customer service was helpful.

Ease of learning to use the product, cost, online training videos, email blast utility and ease of emailing clients from the file.

You constantly have to go back & add additional information or click another button. Overall very cumbersome & hard to use/learn.

It is beyond irritating for a program to have the appearance of Windows/MS Office without the functionality of those programs.

Only problem with it is the layout of the appointment book. It is difficult to use at a glance with grooming appointments and multiple groomers.

Everyone involved has always acted quickly to get any issuew resolved. All of the people I have contact with such as [SENSITIVE CONTENT]  have been amazing the whole time I have had kennel connection.

We would like it to be a bit more online friendly, but overall this IS the best Kennel Software out there. We have tried them ALL, & KC by far suits our HUGE facility the best.

I like the fact that it can do everything for you. I would like to see the retail and inventory feature updated quite a bit in the next one.

Reports , invoicing, data retrieval all very easy. Sales team (Carri) and the support team (Jen and Phil) are excellent in knowledge and finding solutions and making suggestions.

Kennel Connection is very easy to use and helps out our staff in many ways. A sheet of paper and you have all the instructions for each dog for feeding, medication and exercise time.

I am confident that this is a game changer - will save me money and time.

Easy to use, quick learning curve, Pennsylvania stats readily available which really helps out. I have had this software over 5 years and just love it.

I believe there is a more cost effective,  user friendly software out there somewhere. That being said...we have used this software for five years and upgraded one time.

Software  easy to use  and keep a good database for clients. Packages are good features for our daycare.

I like all the features that we can use to help keep our customers happy.

The integration between all the modules listed above is seamless and works amazingly well with multi-locations.

The leadership is incredibly easy to work with, and they have quickly become trusted partners rather than just a software vendor.

It has saved me a lot of time that I used to devote to scheduling and bookkeeping, which as a single-person operator is huge. But most of all, I am extremely happy with their Customer Service.

Since I have been using kennel connection for 20 years, integration was not an issue for me. However, the thing I dislike the most would be the lack of  customization a lot of areas.

It crashes often which is frustrating, wish there was more customization capabilities especially on the boarding and daycare windows.

It's crazy how is so expensive to pay for this software and  doesn't work.

Setting up new modules, employees , changing prices etc is easy. I appreciate how the company listens to what we, the clients, need added and/or changed within the program.

Oh I might mention I love that we integrate it with other computers in my salons it's wonderful to be able to check one out and check in, on the other computer at the same time.

I have been using KC since 1997, and thru out that time,I have been impressed with the functionality of the product and impressed with the customer service.

The only thing I really miss from kennel suite is that it kept a list of every change you made to a reservation- that helped track when something got extended or deleted.

Easy to train employees to use quickly. Customer Service & support is EXCELLENT & makes us love KC even more.

There is a drop down menu that allows limited sorting (by time, run or pet's first or last names) but even there, you recieve inconsistent results.

They are amazing at dealing with any issues and take on feedback to improve their software. The interface is very intuitive and I like that everything is customisable.

Great software almost gets rid of no shows, very responsive team to any issues or improvement requests, would definitely recommend.

Ease of useOnline BookingAutomatic appointment remindersEasy booking and recall for customers at end of appointment.

Savvy pet spa as made the day to day running of our salon so much smoother and a lot more time efficient, saving us money and making out business more professional.

It is user friendly but that's about where it stops been a pro.

Its continually evolving for the better. I'm practically paperless which is great not only for GDPR but cost wise and environmentally too.

Savvy is very user friendly and would highly recommend we love it at k9bubblez. I like text text buttons and reminders.

The people behind it are fantastic, highly supportive couldn’t be more grateful to them.

Loads of features but so many bugs overlooked.

It can take a while to iron out the smaller problems and you dont alway know when/if it gets resolved.

Absolutely fabulous and love the way it changes as we ask for more product expansion on its deliveries.

Had a few problems on the way but the team sorted them our very quickly.

We charged the customer £10 deposit and they  expect us to just tell them that the appointment they booked was not available.

Overall really happy with Savvy Pets, helped us set up our business and have been enjoying it ever since.

The best features of this software are: 1. Online booking function - This has saved us as a business so much time allowing customers to pick and choose the dates/times.

Savvy is super easy to use and the customer service is amazing. They will always take on your suggestions for the software as well.

I would be lost without savvy pet spa 100% great customer service really easy to use the feedback group is fab where all groomer help each other out and it has made my life alot easier.

Appointment creation is very quick and automatically sends out sms & email notifications, which can be fully customised. We can have the calendar setup exactly how we want with the colors we want.

The only thing I don't like is not having an offline copy of the appointments booked.

Savvy Pet Spa is so easy to use and the customer service team are always so friendly and quick to help you with any queries you may have.

Savvy Pet Spa is the best system Ive used for my grooming business. Having everything in the one place including all my contracts is amazing.

I have been using Savvy Pet Spa for a while and i couldnt run my grooming business without them, the automatic reminders are a god send and save me so much time and there customer services is amazing.

The support team are very quick to help with any issues. Visually its appealing and hood value for money.

Very user friendly, is packed with clever features to make life easier. I haven't had a single no show since I've been using this with the automated reminders.

This software is very easy to use. It’s laid out in a simple format so appointments are easy to create and view.

Always 5 star customer service, helpful, friendly, knowledgable, kind.

They take on board your suggestions of improvement or features you’d like added which could help other users and they implement them.

Customer service has always been timely and are ALWAYS super nice to me and resolve any issues or answer any questions very quickly.

Diary is clear and easy to see appointments and client information. Relatively easy to use and customer support is great.
