Quick Version

Petboost Bulk Edit allows editing pet details (names, breeds, weights, genders, desexed status, birthdates) across all customers in a spreadsheet grid with missing data filtering.

If you have 50 pets in your system, updating records one by one is tedious. If you have 500, it is practically impossible.

We have heard from groomers, daycare operators, and boarding kennels that data entry is one of the most time-consuming parts of running their business. Whether it is onboarding from another system, cleaning up incomplete records from online bookings, or simply keeping weight and breed information current, the process of clicking into each pet profile, editing, saving, and moving to the next one adds up.

Bulk Edit changes that.


How it works

Navigate to CRM & Pets and select Bulk Edit. Your pets appear in a spreadsheet-style grid with columns for:

  • Pet name
  • Breed
  • Weight
  • Gender
  • Desexed status
  • Birthdate

Click any cell to edit it directly in the grid. Changes are highlighted so you can see what you have modified before saving.


Finding gaps in your data

The most useful feature for many businesses is the missing data filter. Toggle it on and the grid shows only pets with incomplete records, such as pets without a breed, weight, or birthdate.

This is particularly valuable after migrating from another system. Most migrations bring across pet names and owner details but leave breed and weight fields empty. The missing data filter lets you systematically work through these gaps rather than stumbling across them during appointments.


Selecting and editing in bulk

Select multiple pets using the checkboxes and apply the same change to all of them. For example, if you import 30 Labrador Retriever records where the breed field was left blank, select them all and set the breed in one action.


When it is most useful

  • After migrating from another system: Clean up incomplete data quickly
  • Seasonal weight updates: Update weights after grooming sessions where you weigh each dog
  • Breed standardisation: Ensure breed names are consistent across your records (e.g. "Golden Retriever" vs "Golden retriever" vs "Goldie")
  • Desexed status audits: When your council or insurance requires accurate desexed records

Bulk Edit is available to all Business Pro, Business Flex, and Business Max accounts.
