What is Barkway
Barkway is the booking and business management app built just for dog groomers.
No clunky, buggy salon software. No endless spreadsheets. Just a clean calendar, happy clients, and more time with the pets that actually matter. 🐾
Who it’s for
- Solo groomers who want a fast, simple calendar that works as quickly as they do.
- Small teams that need to share client and pet info without losing track of who’s due when.
What you can do
- Calendar – see your week at a glance and book in seconds.
- Clients and pets – store notes, photos, allergies, vet info, and more.
- Bookings – set services, prices, deposits, and discounts.
- Invoices and payments – create professional invoices, track payments, and record cash or bank transfer.
- Notifications – automatic email or SMS so clients don’t forget.
- Recall list – quickly spot who’s overdue and send a friendly nudge.
Why Barkway
- Designed with groomers, for groomers – not retrofitted salon software.
- Clean, simple design that shines on iPad (landscape mode is our sweet spot).
- Handles the admin so you can get back to grooming. Barkway does the heavy lifting; you do the magic with the dogs.
Early access notes
- New features are shipping fast. If something looks a little rough, it’s probably mid-polish.
- We’ll clearly mark anything that’s still in beta so you know what to expect.
Best devices and browsers
- Optimized for iPad in landscape and desktop.
- Works in the latest Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Edge (and probably anything that isn't IE6 or Netscape).
