Raising the standard of care across the industry
DatCog exists to lift care, transparency and accountability across the animal industry. Not as a slogan. As the reason the product was built.
It started with a kennel manager who would not accept medications, conflicts and incidents living on paper, in memory or on a whiteboard. When that information fails, animals get hurt, staff get left guessing, and owners lose trust.
When the desk, the floor and the owner portal share one live record, kennel owners get clearer information to run the business. Staff know what is true on this shift. Pet owners get peace of mind for worry-free stays, daycare days, holidays and grooms. Most importantly, animals are safer.
- Higher standard of care: meds, relationships and incidents on the live pet record
- Transparency for owners: what happened in care is not trapped on a sticky note
- Accountability for teams: signed-off rounds and shared history between shifts
- Safer animals, calmer staff, and clearer decisions for the business
Built for the whole facility
One product whether you board dogs, house cats, run daycare, or book Pro Groom appointments.
Kennels & boarding
Arrivals, occupancy, kennel assignment and long stays without a second spreadsheet.
Kennel booking softwareCatteries
Cats tracked as cats. Separate care notes, boarding and species-aware booking.
Cattery management softwareDog daycare
Drop-offs, playgroups with separation rules, and report cards that go home the same day.
Doggy daycare softwareGroomers
Pro Groom as a main service: availability, staff grooms tab and desk visibility in one system.
Dog grooming softwareDesk and floor on the same live record
Real DatCog screens, each sized the same way, paired to the job they do.
The booking desk you actually need
Availability, occupancy, check-in, recurring stays and waitlists for dogs and cats. Strong calendars are included, not sold later as a module.
Safe playgroups for daycare
Friends, neutrals and hard separations stay on the pet record. Build yards visually. Warnings land before a dog is moved.
Feed sheets and medication rounds
Kitchen-ready AM/PM meals, own-food flags and med columns. Staff sign off on the floor. Managers see the round close live.
Catteries are first-class
Cats are not a dog workflow with the labels swapped. Species-aware booking, care details and profiles so boarding cats stay clear.
Pro Groom on the same calendar
Book grooms beside boarding and daycare. Staff open a dedicated Grooms tab. The manager desk sees today's groom list with meds and walks. No separate grooming diary.
- Pro Groom as a main service with pricing tiers
- Staff Portal Grooms tab for the floor
- Availability editor for groom slots
- Dashboard view of today's groom work
