Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

User Friendly Software for Pet Groomers

Since using Shakeyourtail I have cut down on clients not showing up for their appointments. I also no longer need paper based client records as I can store all details on each clients own account, also like that I can attach a photo of the pet as a reminder.

Pros:

I like that all the things I needed were already set up for me I just needed to tweek them to the way we work. I use shakeyourtail on several devices; iPad, android phone, iPhone and my desktop at home depending on where I am working so I can book customers in anytime of day which makes me happy. Love that the customer support is there straight away if I am trying to do something and I can’t make it work. Customers like the personalised emails or texts, whichever they have chosen to receive It gives me more time to focus on my business as I am not spending time looking through a paper diary. Being able to look at each clients profile when rebooking is useful, reminds you if customers have cancelled or always come on a certain day.

Cons:

I like it all ... so would be wrong to say anything.

Perfect For Our Business

We have been using this software for 4 years. We have had success with it and our only issue is that since it is hosted elsewhere, we are without service when our internet provider is interrupted. But, this is not the fault of ShakeYourTail. The developers are quick to respond to our needs and have always made themselves available when we need them.

Pros:

Functionality, easy to use. I would suggest this program to any groomer if you will fix the program updating protocol

Cons:

That it doesn't tell you in advance that you need to update. They just shut you off until you pay. I can't even see who I have in tomorrow or if I'm supposed to pick up a pet. I could be losing business
