Most "branded apps" in pet care are one shared app with your logo loaded inside. Your customers search your business name and find the vendor. We do something different.
One-time $299. We handle the entire App Store submission.
Clients who install your app book more often — because you can reach them directly, without competing with everyone else in their inbox.
A cancellation opens up at 2pm. Send a push to clients whose dogs are overdue for a bath. Slot filled before the day ends — no blast SMS fees.
Thanksgiving and Christmas fill fast. A push in September to last year’s boarding clients books you out before competitors even announce availability.
Six weeks since their dog’s last bath. Push: "Time to book Bella’s next groom." One tap and they’re booked directly into your calendar.
A push on a pet’s birthday with a small offer builds loyalty. Clients remember the businesses that remember their dog.
Push notifications average a 7–12% click rate. Email averages 2–3%. The businesses filling last-minute slots consistently are the ones with an installed app base.

Upload your logo, set brand colors, choose your app icon and launch screen, and select which features to expose — all from the Animal Friends OS dashboard. No Xcode, no Android Studio, no developers involved.
We compile your iOS and Android apps and submit to both app stores. Apple review takes 1–3 business days. Google Play is typically 24–48 hours. You receive your App Store and Google Play links when approved.
Clients book directly from your app. Real-time availability from your live calendar. Appointment confirmations and reminders arrive as push notifications, not generic SMS.
Clients view their pets’ profiles, grooming history, vaccination records, and photo galleries from every visit — inside your branded app. Photos are watermarked with your logo automatically.
Send appointment reminders, last-minute openings, holiday boarding alerts, and birthday-month offers direct to the lock screen. No competing with 100 other emails in an inbox.
App Store reviews on your listing are reviews of YOUR business only — not mixed with hundreds of other businesses on a shared platform. Your app builds your reputation, not the vendor’s.
Upload your logo, set your brand colors, and choose your app icon and launch screen. Same visual editor as the website builder — no separate tools, no separate login.
Toggle booking, pet profiles, vaccination uploads, photo galleries, push notifications, payment, and messaging on or off. Ship only what your business needs. Add features later as you grow.
We generate native iOS and Android apps from your configuration and submit them to the Apple App Store and Google Play as standalone listings under your business name — not as a section inside a shared vendor app.
You get App Store and Google Play links to share by SMS, email, in-store QR code, or on your website. Clients search your business name and find your app — installed under your brand.
Scenario. A grooming and daycare business was sending bath reminders by SMS but had no direct channel for last-minute openings, holiday boarding alerts, or birthday-month offers without paying for a blast SMS tool.
Outcome. Push notifications from the branded app now fill last-minute cancellations in hours. Holiday boarding books out weeks earlier than before.
Scenario. A household with three dogs on different grooming and boarding schedules was constantly calling to check who was due for what and whether appointments were confirmed.
Outcome. All three pets, all bookings, all vaccination expiration reminders, and all appointment history in one branded app. No more calls to the front desk.
It is really yours. Animal Friends OS publishes a separate, standalone app to the Apple App Store and Google Play under your business name. Your customers search "[your business]" in the App Store and find YOUR app — not ours. Most "branded apps" in pet care are one shared app with your logo loaded inside it. That is not what we do.
Yours. The store listing uses your business name. The icon is yours. The screenshots are yours. To the customer, there is no software vendor in the picture — they download YOUR app.
Yes. Animal Friends OS includes an app builder that lets you design a custom app from the same dashboard you use to run your business. Your business name, logo, colors, and features — all yours. We handle the Apple App Store and Google Play submissions.
Animal Friends OS app builder is a one-time $299 purchase. That includes the design tools, app generation, and submission to both app stores. A mobile app agency would charge $5,000–$15,000 and take 3–6 months. Competitors who offer "branded apps" charge monthly add-ons for a shared-app experience. $299 is the entire cost of a real, standalone listing under your business name.
No. The app builder uses a visual editor inside your Animal Friends OS dashboard. Upload your logo, set brand colors, select features, and we compile and submit. You never touch code.
Online booking, appointment history, pet profiles, vaccination records, photo galleries, push notifications, payment, and two-way messaging. Clients get a branded experience on their phone that connects to your live Animal Friends OS account in real time.
RunLoyal publishes apps under names like "RunLoyal Pet Resort" or "RunLoyal Pet Camp" to the App Store — the developer is RunLoyal's parent company (iTrust Ventures LLC), not yours. The RunLoyal name is part of the listing. With Animal Friends OS, the listing is under YOUR business name. No prefix. No vendor name attached to your brand.
Gingr, MoeGo, and DaySmart do not offer custom app building at all. RunLoyal offers what they call "branded apps" but publishes them under their own company name in the App Store. Animal Friends OS is the only platform that publishes a real, separate, standalone app under your business name alone.
Apple's review process typically takes 1–3 business days. Google Play is usually 24–48 hours. We handle the entire submission — you do not need a developer account or any prior experience with app stores.
14-day free trial. No credit card required. Set up in under an hour.
