You have different packages to choose from and you have payroll options etc available for you 24/7 you dont have to worry about appointments since you will automatically receive reminders for you upcoming events > > **Cons**: No cons about this platform, it's easy to use. Easy to set payroll and no more long nights typing numbers down this does it al for you > > Great absolutely great this is a great way to make sure you have all the appointments and your services set up for your next pet friendly clientele ----- ### "DaySmart for the win\!" — 4.0/5 > **Devon** | *23 March 2026* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy for me to schedule and keep track of clients. Helps me keep my business running smoothly and helps get track of services. > > **Cons**: Hard to use on the mobile app. Could use an upgraded/updated version for the mobile app to make easier for mobile groomers. > > I love their customer service. Always happy to help and quick to resolves any issues when needed. Love that we can call and talk to a person. ----- ### "New Tech support policy not groomer friendly" — 1.0/5 > **Shawn** | *10 February 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I loved DaySmart from 2013 to 2023. Then they changed the tech support to AI. Before you could talk to a agent and get your software problems resolved in less then 30mins. Kind, helpful, supportive and a peace of mind, But Not now\!\!\!\!\! > > **Cons**: \!\!\!\!Tech support has gone to the pits\!\!\!\! Not suitable for busy Owners/Groomers. First you go through AI's questions. Next e-mail back and forth. Waiting game with tech support. You are in between other Client support e-mails, etc. E-mailing don't get the fix? Then they will set up a call appointment. If you think the problem is fixed. Surprise it's not\!\! You have to start all over. I talked to multiple tech agents explaining the issues. Problems couldn't get resolved in one day because I have grooming deadlines to meet. I can't just sit waiting for a return response. By the way i have to use my hands to groom. So how am i suppose to do that sit at the computer and e-mail back and forth\!\!\!\! Talking to a live person builds quality customer support and relations. > > I love the easy navigation, reports, how the software operated. Just don't run into tech issues. It's a game of back and forth for 3 1/2 months with no fix. ----- ### "It is the first software I use in my business and sometimes I have thought about changing it for all the reasons mentioned before." — 4.0/5 > **MILTON** | *22 September 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: very simple and easy to use software. Among the most significant advantages are reminder messages, although these cause confusion for customers since messages are sent to the same numbers and they get annoyed because they do not receive a response, so it would be very helpful if they fix that. > > **Cons**: it does not have the option to add client forms in PDF to archive them for each client and this is something very important since we must have a record of client consents and these must remain in the record of each client. The payment gateway only works with certain point of sale systems, which limits its use. > > In general, it is considered a good software for dog grooming, but its simplicity makes it inefficient for businesses that require extensive control over clients, sales reports, and management of expenses and inventory. Also, having to work directly from the web is a bit cumbersome, and from my experience, it is preferable to work with a desktop application. ... ----- ### "Love it\! Easy to use\! All in 1 integrated system\!" — 5.0/5 > **Aimee** | *8 April 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use. Integrated POS system. If there is ever a issue it is resolved immediately. Friendly professional team. > > **Cons**: The calandar always loads to day view. I like week view. I am sure there is a way to default to week but i havent dug around. And i cant set up 2 numbers for same client to bith get reminder messages. > > I absolutely love it. Digital forms, shot reccords have kept my paperwork dow significantly. Love the pos system. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/92113/DaySmart-Pet?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/92113/DaySmart-Pet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
