What our pet groomers say

Real reviews from real groomers who use Tuft’s dog grooming software to reduce their admin and do more of what they love – grooming dogs!

As a busy parent and business owner, Tuft made my life so much easier. I love being able to manage my diary online, and my clients enjoy booking appointments themselves without having to call or text. It saves time for everyone!

Polly Hartcup

Tail & Chase Dog Grooming / Bungay

Single groomer salon

Tuft has cut my workload by way under half. My clients reschedule themselves, I don’t waste hours on the phone, and I’m getting more bookings just because of the app. And the customer support? Insane. Tuft actually gives a damn about my business.

Kelly Davis

KD Grooming Studio / Wincanton

Multi groomer salon

We are finding it absolutely amazing! I guess we all have those customers that cancel or rearrange every 5 mins, now they’re just doing it themselves, saving us having to deal with it by phone!

Debbie Moore

Pretty Pawz Dog Grooming / Dudley

Multi groomer salon

After using Tuft, l’ve got to be honest, I absolutely hate every other booking software I’ve tried 😂🤦‍♀️ they’re all so confusing. Really long winded and just make my day so much longer! Compared to Tuft they’re an absolute nightmare!

Bethany Morris

The Barking Box / Swansea

Mobile groomer

We absolutely love Tuft, it’s been an absolute life saver. We love that customers can fully self-serve on an app where they can set up their pet’s profiles and book in appointments. We also love the reviews section – people visiting us on Tuft can see honest reviews from other customers. We would 100% highly recommend Tuft to anyone.

Jarred Harrington-Jones

Furology Dog Grooming Co. / Merthyr Tydfil

Multi groomer salon

I’m not very good with computers, but I found this really easy. Saving time is a big thing for us groomers. We haven’t got a lot between customers, so them being able book their own appointment is what we need.

Jo Rumming

Jos Dog Shedd Inn / Tregaron, Wales

Multi groomer salon

I would never be without Tuft now. A lot of my customers have downloaded the app and it means that they can have a look when my availability is. It’s a lot easier for customers to do that because we don’t always have time to answer the phone.

Hannah Hart-Smith

Müttley Crüe / Newcastle

Single groomer salon

We love using Tuft because it’s so easy to use. The customers also love it. It’s easy for them to use. I actually get more bookings now because people find it more convenient to book this way.

Lucy Baker

Shaggy and Chic / Hemel Hempstead

Multi groomer salon

It’s absolutely revolutionary, it saves so much time for us! Before Tuft, I was all on paper. I’d get home at 10 O’clock at night and have hundreds of WhatsApp messages to go through, waiting for people to get back to me. Tuft has given me my evenings back.

Julian Sandy

Woofterz Dog Grooming / Llanfyllin, Wales

Multi groomer salon

I’m very happy working with Tuft. Tuft is great, especially for groomers that work on their own. It saves me a lot of time. It doesn’t fall down. It’s super reliable and takes care of a lot of my admin.

Siboney Abarca

Bubbly Tails of London

Mobile groomer

It cuts down admin for me as a groomer. It sends out automatic reminders to customers, allows customers to change their appointments and also takes payments. I have customers who aren’t tech-savvy who can use it with ease.
