For most dog boarding and kennel businesses, summer is peak season. This is the time to maximize your revenue - without maximizing your time on the phone or email or duplicating data entry. 

The pet services industry is changing.  For many years, pet facilities served only as places for pet parents to drop off their pets while they went on vacation.  Today, pets are doing yoga, taking hydrotherapy classes, and participating in all forms of socialization and competitions, such as dock diving, agility training, and more. 

Starting tomorrow, Gingr users will be able to log in with a Yubikey. Say goodbye to usernames and passwords!

Here it comes, spring break season!

FLEA AND TICK SEASON IS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME FOR YOUR COMPANY TO BE CHECKING THE HEALTH CONDITION OF EACH PET-GUEST.

You're managing a pet-care business, but you still have a lot of book-keeping to do, you have to staff extra personnel at busy times, you get errors, and you may be missing out on income.

Dog daycares, boarding kennels and grooming businesses need a steady stream of new customers.  Customer loss is inevitable - through no fault of yours - due to clients moving, pets aging or passing on, and new competition.

The sustainability of your pet boarding, daycare or grooming business will always depend on getting new customers, as some of your customers will move, their pets will pass on, or they will leave for other reasons.
