What we do differently
Everything a grooming reviewer typically flags as "must have" — plus a few things they'll wish other platforms had.
Grooming-specific pricing (XS → XL)
Set breed and size-based pricing and timing. A Cavoodle blocks a different slot to a Great Dane — because it should.
Deposits that actually stop no-shows
Take a deposit at booking, set it for new clients only, and issue full or partial Stripe refunds from BarkSuite.
24/7 self-service booking
Clients book, reschedule and cancel themselves — most of it after hours. You stop answering DMs at 11 PM.
Calendar invites in every confirmation
Every booking email includes an Add to Google / Apple / Outlook calendar link. Clients turn up.
Australian support in your timezone
Friendly help from Australia, in Australian business hours, from people who know BarkSuite.
No per-stylist fees, ever
Flat AUD price. Hire a third groomer without your software bill going up.
Where we're still growing
- –We're newer than MoeGo or Gingr — the marketing automation suite is still growing.
- –No mobile-groomer route optimiser yet. If you're doing 12 stops a day across town, we'll be honest — MoeGo's route planner still wins.
We'd rather tell you now than have you find out on day 30 of a trial.
