Thinking about switching pet software? We get it — switching feels risky. Will clients notice? Will data get lost? Is it worth the hassle? We built this guide to answer every question. The short version: your clients won't notice, your data migrates with you, and you'll save thousands per year.
No. Your booking widget and client portal are fully white-labeled with your business name, logo, and brand colors. Clients book from your website, see your brand, and never know what software runs behind it. The transition is invisible to them.
No. We provide guided data migration. Export your clients, pets, vaccinations, and history from your current software (CSV or API), and we help you import everything. Client profiles, pet records, appointment history — it all comes over intact.
No. Animal Friends OS was built by a pet business owner who runs grooming, boarding, daycare, and training. The interface mirrors how your business actually works. Most staff are comfortable within 1–2 days, not weeks.
Run both systems in parallel during your 14-day free trial. Import your data, test every workflow, and only cancel your old software when you are 100% confident. No contracts, cancel anytime.
No tiers. No add-ons. No per-user fees. No payment processing markups. $45/month is the real price for everything. We make money on subscriptions, not by nickel-and-diming you on transactions and add-ons.
No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime from your dashboard. No cancellation fees, no early termination penalties, no phone call required. If you ever want to leave, you export your data and go.

Keep your old software running for a week while you verify everything works in Animal Friends OS. Book new appointments in OS, honor existing ones in the old system.
Once you are confident, cancel your old subscription. Start saving $150–$200+ every single month.
No. Your clients interact with your booking widget and client portal — both are fully branded with your business name, logo, and colors. When you switch to Animal Friends OS, their booking experience stays seamless. They see your brand, not ours. The URL stays on your website, the portal looks the same or better, and they keep booking the same way.
No. We provide a guided data migration process. Export your clients, pets, and appointment history from your current software (most competitors offer CSV or API exports), and we help you import everything into Animal Friends OS. Client contact info, pet profiles, vaccination records, appointment history — it all comes over.
No. It was built by a pet business owner who runs a real grooming, boarding, daycare, and training facility. The interface is designed around how pet businesses actually work — not how software engineers think they work. Most staff are comfortable within 1–2 days.
