Talopet is the mobile companion to the Talopet platform — built for the people who actually run a pet grooming, daycare, or boarding business. Check your book between appointments, add a pet's photo while it's still on the table, and answer a client without walking back to the front desk. IMPORTANT: Talopet is for staff at businesses that subscribe to Talopet. Your account is created by your business owner or manager. There is no public sign-up, and the app is not intended for pet owners booking appointments. YOUR DAY, AT A GLANCE See what's booked today, what's already done, and what's coming next. Switch between day and month views, check a groomer's column, or open the map to see where the day's appointments are. CLIENTS AND PETS Full client and pet records travel with you — breed and temperament notes, vaccination status, visit history, and photos. Snap a before-and-after right in the app and it lands on the pet's record. MESSAGE CLIENTS Two-way conversations with clients from the same app you run the schedule in. Send a pickup-ready note the moment the dog is done. SERVICES, PACKAGES, AND RETAIL Manage your service menu and pricing, bundle packages, and run retail sales with live stock counts. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Revenue, average ticket, appointment counts, and client retention — plus AI-generated insights that flag things worth acting on, like pets that haven't rebooked. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Face ID and Touch ID app lock keeps client records private on a shared device. Push notifications for new bookings and messages. Home screen quick actions jump straight to today's schedule or a new appointment. Works on iPad with a full tablet layout.
