What is PetLinx?
PetLinx is a business management software for pet care companies which offer pet grooming, boarding, or dog daycare services, which includes tools for managing clients, bookings and appointments, services, customer credit, reporting, and more. The modular system allows users to select whether they require tools for managing grooming, boarding, or daycare, or any combination of these.
With PetLinx, users can maintain detailed records of clients, pets, bookings and appointments, invoices, payments, business contacts, employees, and retail products. Users can track pets’ registration and microchip numbers, vaccination records, weights, behavioral attributes, and more. Information can be found using any combination of search criteria, such as client name, pet name, and phone number. Letters and invoices can be created with custom branding, and emails or text messages can be sent out in bulk to clients. Users can also generate a range of standard reports, and customize these as necessary.
The grooming module in PetLinx enables users to create and manage grooming appointments, with the ability to setup multiple services and charging options, and visit recurrence periods for automatic appointment creation. Individual groomers can define their own working hours and daily appointment limits, and a range of grooming services can be setup, such as summer, winter, and show styles. For companies offering boarding services, tools include a drag-and-drop schedule manager with color-coded bookings, automatic charge adjustment based on booking length, season, or number of pets, and the ability to add details including medications, feeding, and specific activities to bookings. The daycare module allows users to sell prepaid credits to clients, and track prepaid credit status, with automatic prompts when customers are running low on credits. Bookings can also be setup to repeat weekly on specific days, with personalized services for pets.

Adaptability and value. After a year and half, we are very happy and satisfied with the program.
Pros
Best features are flexibility, value and service. Pet care is very often a small business that is highly individualized. Having a program that can be purchased in sections (boarding, daycare, grooming) and then having a good amount of flexibility within the program to adapt to each business is a good thing. The entire program is a good value and can be purchased outright with just service as an annual investment. The service is outstanding and responsive.
Cons
The manual is the weakest. The manual is there as well as "help on this page". However, the help index rarely seems to actually help and most explanations are brief. Sometimes you need the long version!

Thanks for your great review Sandra, we really value having you as a customer and appreciate your suggestions which are always helpful :-).

Pros
Easy to use, clear instructions, easy to transition to, fabulous timely personal support, and not a "static" product - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his team continue to improve, build and refine the software to include wants and needs of its users.
Cons
I would love more financial type reports without having to upload to my accounting programme.

Cons
They have an app that they are working on. Right now I have crashing problems.
There are a lot of updates that could be & someone in the industry should be consulted
used as our schedule for bookings
Pros
layout and colorful design and ability to add multiple employees to the calendar as well as the right click and drop down boxes i also like that it integrates so well with cayan also the ability to make dtailed groom notes on every dog
Cons
unable to split tips between a bather and groomer on the same transaction a handful of technical glitches and i feel like an industry professional should be consulted on future updates
Response from Software Revolutions
As this reviewer has chosen to keep their details private we can't verify that they are an actual customer, but it does appear suspicious and we have asked Capterra to remove it. A strange comment that we need to consult an "industry professional", we would like to think our customers that we interact with on a daily basis are industry professionals :-)

Over all would recommend as it does the job
Pros
Reporting is good, able to keep track of who owes money. Ease of use
Cons
Little on the expensive side - along with the subscription each year it comes at a cost. Purchased the network edition but now it won't communicate with the database and don't want to uninstall in case the backup doesn't work.
Response from Software Revolutions
Hi Richard, thanks for your great review, we really appreciate it! Please see Quick Answers - General Questions on our Support page for information on getting the Network edition going again, and then contact our support team for help if you continue to have issues with this.
