Our verdict on Animal Friends OS
Animal Friends OS brings boarding, grooming and daycare operations into a cloud and mobile pet-care management platform. Kennels can manage live kennel and suite assignments, boarding check-in and check-out, per-pet feeding schedules, medication records and vaccination verification. A capacity dashboard tracks current and projected availability, while online booking, a client portal and staff scheduling extend the system beyond animal records. Its breadth suits facilities that want daily care workflows and customer coordination together, rather than a narrow kennel calendar.
Operational visibility is a defining strength. The visual assignment grid shows real-time occupancy, and vaccination alerts flag missing or expired records. Automated booking confirmations, check-in reminders and pickup notifications support customer communication, while an AI assistant can handle booking and rescheduling and draft client messages. Platform options include web, iOS, Android and REST API access; integrations include QuickBooks, Stripe, Square, Authorize.Net, Clover, Twilio, Vonage and iDogCam. This combination is relevant for facilities connecting care records with payments, accounting, messaging or cameras.
According to the vendor's pricing page, Starter costs $69 per month or $690 per year, with up to 3 staff members and 500 marketing messages monthly. Professional is $109 monthly or $1,090 annually, with unlimited staff, 2,000 marketing messages and 200 photo and emoji messages monthly. Premium costs $169 monthly or $1,690 annually, adding 5,000 marketing messages, 500 photo and emoji messages, and an available dedicated sending number. Annual plans include two months free. A 14-day trial does not require a credit card. Facilities with small teams and modest messaging needs can start at Starter; those needing unlimited staff or larger message allowances should compare higher tiers. A simpler operation focused only on scheduling may not need this range of care and communication tools.
