The gap
Other systems treat pets as inventory.
They don’t have feed sheets, playgroup organisers with drag & drop, or relationship tracking. DatCog is built around welfare first.
Generic booking isn’t welfare
Most tools treat animals like inventory. They skip feed sheets, playgroup design, and relationship tracking — the things that keep animals safe.
DatCog maps real relationships
See who gets along, report incidents, and build safe groups with drag-and-drop playgroups. Medication and feed sheets stay complete for staff and owners.
One system, nothing slips
Welfare, operations and staff rostering together — no separate staffing software. Clear information at every step so nothing falls between apps.
For kennels & catteries

Boarding, daycare and grooming in a single place, with the same care, safety and clarity for every animal.

Why DatCog
Built around the way you actually care for animals: clear records, safe groups, and fewer incidents.
First occupant relationship tracking
Our booking system is the first to track which dogs get along. Dogs are paired with compatible dogs, so you build safe playgroups and reduce incidents, not guesswork.
Playgroup manager that learns
In the playgroup manager you drag dogs onto each other to record how they interact: report an incident (negative) or mark them as friends. The system uses this to suggest safe groups and avoid pairings that don’t work.
Daily medication checklists
DatCog generates daily medication checklists with clear details for each animal. Staff mark tasks off with time-stamped completion, so nothing is missed and owners can see exactly when meds were given.
Daily feed sheets
Printable and digital feed sheets generated daily so every animal’s meals are tracked and nothing is missed.
Staff rostering, payroll & leave
Rostering, payroll and leave management in one place, no separate staffing software. Shifts, roles, locations, timesheets and payslips all in DatCog.
Customer transparency
Animal profiles, alerts and incident reports keep owners in the loop. Clients see care details and you keep communication clear and professional.
