AI receptionist for pet groomers
The short answer
Last updated
How it works for pet groomers
Wet hands, dryer running. Bookings still come in.
Groomers can't answer the phone mid-groom, and each booking depends on the dog. FirstVoice books by breed, size and coat, so every appointment is the right length.
- Asks the breed, size and coat condition, including matting
- Books an appointment that's the right length for that pet
- Explains your prices and vaccination requirements
- Asks about anxious or reactive dogs, so you know before they arrive
- Tells owners the pick-up time, and flags an injured or unwell pet to you straight away
