What makes AllPaws different
AllPaws applies your rates, rules and records for you, and its AI drafts the busywork for your team to approve.
When a customer texts about hours, prices, vaccines or boarding and daycare availability, AllPaws drafts the answer from your own settings, and eligible cancellations and date changes take one click. Your team reviews every reply before it goes out. Suggested replies come with the texting add-on.
AllPaws reads the dates from uploaded and texted vaccine records for your staff to confirm. Missing or expiring required vaccines are flagged on the booking, and check-in waits until requirements are met.
How Paw Partner compares
Paw Partner lets clients upload vaccine records to their account for your staff to view and approve, and reminds them 30 days, 7 days and 1 day before a vaccine expires. Pets with missing, expired or unapproved required vaccines are flagged, and an optional setting stops staff checking a pet in until its vaccines are up to date. We didn’t find automatic reading of vaccine documents.7, 18, 23
AllPaws is $35 a month for each service type at one location, with every core feature included. Boarding, daycare and grooming together cost $105 a month, and texting is an optional add-on.
How Paw Partner compares
Paw Partner prices by business type: $44.99 a month for a grooming-only or training-only business, and $99.99 a month for boarding, daycare or any combination of services, including grooming and training. Paying a year up front costs less but is non-refundable, and texting, a custom branded app and integrated payments cost extra.4
Upload a paper waiver or PDF and AllPaws turns it into a draft online form for your team to review and switch on.
Pricing
Both publish their prices. AllPaws charges for each service type you run. Paw Partner charges one price for grooming-only or training-only businesses and another for boarding, daycare and multi-service businesses, and sells texting and a custom branded app as add-ons.
