ZendPaw review
A focused scheduling suite for salons that need recurring bookings and pet records.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ZendPaw is cloud-based scheduling and business management software for pet service businesses, including grooming salons, mobile groomers, veterinary clinics, and pet care providers. Its core tools cover a visual appointment calendar, online booking, client and pet profiles, service history, automated bilingual email reminders, recurring appointments, deposit collection, cancellation policy management, staff scheduling, digital waivers, report cards, and inventory. It supports English and Spanish and is positioned for businesses in the United States and Mexico. For salons prioritizing straightforward recurring scheduling, client records, and booking controls, ZendPaw offers a focused feature set.
Pricing is structured across three monthly plans. Solo costs $39 per month and includes the appointment calendar, unlimited clients and pet profiles, deposit collection at booking, automated reminders, recurring appointments, and digital waivers. Salon costs $89 per month and adds an online booking page, up to 10 staff with role logins, commission tracking, pet report cards, supply and retail inventory, and CRM tools. Premium costs $139 per month and includes unlimited staff, full reporting history, and everything in Salon; the plan is marked coming soon and in active development. A 14-day trial is available and requires a payment card. Client payment collection may incur a platform transaction fee of up to 2%, separate from Stripe processing fees.
ZendPaw fits salons that want scheduling and day-to-day business tools in one web-based product without a broad integration ecosystem. Stripe is the listed integration, so businesses with more specialized platform requirements should assess that limitation before choosing it. The Salon plan is the practical step up for teams needing staff roles, commissions, CRM, inventory, and online booking, while Solo is aimed at simpler operations. Choose ZendPaw for recurring appointment workflows and pet-focused records; consider an alternative if mobile support, extensive integrations, or a currently available unlimited-staff tier is essential.
