Notes Get Buried. Attributes Stand Out.

Stop digging through notes to find critical pet information. Attributes are structured, visible, and colour-coded.

Buried in Notes

Common approach

  • "Allergic to chicken, uses #7 blade, nervous with strangers..." buried in a text field
  • Easy to miss critical information
  • Can't filter or search by condition
  • Inconsistent formatting across pets
  • Relies on staff reading everything every time

Visible Attributes

Petboost approach

  • Structured tags: 🔴 Chicken Allergy, 💜 #7 Blade, 🟡 Nervous
  • Colour-coded for instant recognition
  • Filter and search by any attribute
  • Consistent across all pets
  • Visible on calendar without opening the appointment

Organised by Category

2,000+ attributes organised into intuitive categories. Find the right tag in seconds.

Tags? Codes? We Call Them Attributes.

Don't just take our word for it

I am very excited and glad I went with them, the pricing structure makes sense and they are working very hard to make this the number one pet booking system in Australia. The customer service is out of this world, they focus on what animal businesses actually need and listen to their clients.

My Dogs Daycare, QLD

Petboost has truly been a saving grace! As a platform that's actually all-in-one, it has streamlined so much, saving me time and reducing costs. One of the biggest time-savers has been the automated invoicing feature. I no longer have to chase clients for late payments or spend hours preparing invoices manually.

Just try it, you won't look back. The moment I turned Petboost on for my business, I never looked back. I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show. I no longer have to manually reconcile payments either. Now I can finally get time to do other things in my business instead of sitting in front of a screen for 'admin days'.
