Adding A New Grooming Service

Grooming Services are required for Grooming bookings, where a single pet will be attending your facility for a grooming appointment.

To add new grooming services, open the Settings menu in the top navigation and click the Courses, Sessions & Services link.

Then click Grooming Services in the left side menu. The options shown here will vary depending on the area types enabled.

Then, just click the blue Add Service button at the top.
