Dog grooming software that guards your diary.
Online booking from your real diary, paid at booking, no-shows rare. 3% of payments through Sable, no monthly fee.
A full column of appointments, none of them a surprise.
Up-front payment stops no-shows
Paid when they book, or paid to you directly, against a clear cancellation policy. Decline an online payment and it’s refunded automatically.
Online booking from real availability
Customers pick from times your diary has room for: your durations, your hours, and how many appointments you take at once. Once a time is full, Sable stops offering it.
One table or four
Set how many appointments you take at the same time, one table or four. Sable stops offering a time once that many are booked.
One profile per dog
Breed, vet details, medication and your client’s notes on feeding and behaviour, kept on one profile and shown on every appointment.
Money on the booking
Every card payment is recorded on its booking — who paid, when and how much.

Questions groomers ask.
What is the best booking software for a dog groomer in the UK?
The best grooming software is the one that fits how a grooming day actually runs: online booking that only offers times your diary can really take, payment taken when they book if you choose it, so no-shows are rare, one profile per dog with the notes that matter, and every payment recorded on the booking it belongs to. Sable does exactly these jobs for 3% of payments through Sable. No monthly fee, no setup fee.
How is Sable different from monthly-fee grooming software?
Most grooming software wants a subscription every month, busy or quiet. Sable has no subscription: 3% of each payment made through Sable, taken when the customer pays. Stripe’s card fee is separate. You keep the rest, less Stripe’s card fee. Sable only earns when your diary fills — a quiet month costs almost nothing. Sable is built and tested at Kuruba, where Sable’s founder works.
Can customers book grooming appointments online?
Yes. Customers pick a service and a time from your live availability — your durations, your working hours and how many appointments you take at once. You stay in charge: every request is paid up front (or paid to you directly) and confirmed by you. If you decline, or the request expires, anything paid online is automatically refunded in full.
What happens when a customer cancels?
If they cancel before your cancellation deadline, they're refunded under your own policy — 50% by default — and after it, no refund is due. Anything paid for a request you haven't accepted yet is refunded in full, automatically.
Do I have to set it up myself?
No. We come to your salon, configure your services, durations, prices and policies, and migrate your existing client and pet records. Free, and we stay until it's done.
We come out and set it up.
Free, in person. Starting in Scotland; elsewhere, ask us — your rates and policies set up the way you already run, your records brought across and your diary in use before we leave. Also for day care and boarding kennels.
