Customers, pets, services, add-ons, team members & hours, resources, account settings, package credits, and your upcoming appointments too. You review the calendar and confirm it before go-live, and you get a complimentary setup session with a Pet Business Specialist. The 24 hours starts when you give us access, usually at the demo.

You won't regret joining…it's the best. I was using an American company for 6 years, which was ok but expensive, not a great system. I have been extremely impressed with Petboost. The customer service is out of this world and they focus on what animal businesses actually need.
