Fully customizable to match your brand. Included free with Animal Friends OS at $45/month. Designed by a pet care facility owner with over a decade of experience.

Copy one script tag, paste it into your website. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, custom HTML — if it supports a script tag, the widget works. Loads asynchronously with zero performance impact.
The widget connects to your live calendar. When a slot is booked, it disappears instantly. Two clients cannot book the same slot even if browsing simultaneously. No manual syncing.
Clients pick their service, preferred groomer or handler, date, and time. Set appointment durations per service. Block personal time and lunch breaks automatically.
Booking confirmation sent instantly via SMS and email. 24-hour and 2-hour reminders follow automatically. No-show rates drop 40–60%.
Match your website’s colors, fonts, button styles, and logo. The widget looks like part of your site, not a third-party tool. Live preview customizer included.
