Complete helpguide





You can configure the most important regional settings for your country or area:

  • Select the country from the list.

  • Select the time zone from the list.

    Check that you have correctly configured the time on your device (computer, mobile phone, tablet) because the software will use that time for appointments, schedule, appointments and reminders.

  • Select the language in which you want to use the software.

  • Set the currency for your country. You can use symbols (for example €, $, ...) or currency codes (for example EUR, USD, etc.).

  • Set the applicable tax name and percentage for your country. This tax will be used by default for your services and rates.

    Note: In countries where multiple taxes apply, you can set up a general tax name or a combined tax name and add both taxes together. For example, for Quebec, you can configure the tax with the name TPS-TVQ, TAX or similar and set the percentage as the sum of both taxes (TPS and TVQ).

It is very important to configure the general tax rate before creating your services or rates, because new services will use the tax rate defined here.



  • If this option has the general tax configured as 0%

  • Then you create a new grooming, boarding, daycare or veterinary service. That service will also have 0% tax

  • If later you change the general tax rate to, for example, 7%, this change will not be applied to services or rates that were already configured

  • New services or rates you add afterward will use the 7% tax rate


If you have mistakenly configured your services or rates, contact us so we can help you correct it.

If until now the tax rate was, for example, 10% and now it has changed to 12%, keep reading and we will show you how to update it.

Important:

  • Previous records will not be modified (the appointments/bookings you already had planned, the check-in, check-out, services, sales, ...). That is, sales or invoices that you had previously generated, for example, will not be modified.

  • It will not affect previous sales, billing reports or statistics either.

  • Previous data will remain unchanged. Only new data entered from that moment onward will use the new tax rate.

How to update the tax rate in your business:

  1. Configure the new tax rate:
    Go to the Configuration > Language and Currency, enter the new tax rate and click Save.

  2. Deactivate the old rates:

    • Go to the Configuration option > Services

    • Click on the services or rates you had configured

    • Set Inactive = Yes and click Save

  3. Configure the new rates:

    • In the same Configuration option > Services

    • Click Add new to create the new rates. Fill in the details and click Save.
      You will see that they already include the new tax rate

Format Settings

  • Date format: you can choose the format you prefer, such as 06/02/2026, 2026-06-02, or 02/06/2026, among others.

  • Time format: 24-hour clock or 12-hour format with AM/PM.

  • First day of the week for calendars: you can choose whether you want the week to start on Monday, Sunday, or another day.

  • Weight units: kilograms, pounds, and smaller units such as grams or ounces when applicable.

  • Distance units: kilometers or miles.

  • Temperature units: Celsius or Fahrenheit.

  • Currency format: you can configure the number of decimal places, thousand and decimal separators, whether the currency symbol (€ , $, etc.) appears before or after the amount, and whether a space should be included between the symbol and the value.



You can configure:

business hours settings for pet businesses, dog boarding kennels, grooming salons, veterinary clinics and pet daycare centers

The schedule for each area of your business

non-working days, public holidays, vacations and closures for pet business scheduling software

Non-working days

visual planner and appointment calendar for pet businesses with business hours and non-working days

The display schedule for the Planner


Business hours

If you do not want to set a specific schedule, simply select Any time.

If you select Custom schedule, you can configure your business hours as a continuous schedule or as a split schedule, depending on how your business works.

If you have several business areas (hotel, grooming, store, etc.) and they all follow the same hours, you can enable Use the same schedule for all business areas.



pet business scheduling software for business hours, holidays and non-working days

Depending on your preferences, the system can:

warning for appointments, bookings, check-ins, check-outs or services outside pet business hours

Show a warning

the software informs you but lets you continue

block bookings, appointments and services outside allowed hours in pet business software

or block the action

when it is outside the allowed schedule

For example, if you add or edit an appointment, booking, check-in, check-out, service or delivery outside the schedule you configured, the system can either show a warning or prevent that booking, transport delivery, hotel check-in or service from being saved.


There is no single best option for every business. Each company works in a different way, so Gespet gives you the flexibility to choose the configuration that best fits your day-to-day workflow.

We provide the tools, but you decide how you want to use them in your business.

  • Warning option: The warning option is ideal for businesses that need more flexibility. For example:

    • Pet hotels that usually do not accept check-ins or check-outs on Sundays, but make exceptions during high season.

    • Veterinary clinics that do not normally work outside business hours, except in specific cases such as emergencies, follow-ups or post-surgery checks.

    • Pet grooming salons that may accept an occasional service outside their usual schedule during busy periods.

    In these cases, Gespet warns you but lets you continue.

  • Blocking option:

    This option is best for businesses with a strict schedule that do not want to allow bookings, appointments or services outside the configured days and hours.

    It helps prevent mistakes such as scheduling an appointment on a non-working day, accepting a check-in outside business hours or booking a service when the business is closed.

You can choose the option that best fits your business and change it whenever you need to.


Gespet also adds visual help. In the Planner you will see working hours highlighted, and both in the Planner and in calendars, the days you configured as non-working days will be clearly marked.

Non-working days

You can also configure non-working days for each business area. For example:

  • You can mark August 1 as a non-working day for your grooming salon because you will not provide grooming services that day.

  • However, you may still provide veterinary services or allow check-ins and check-outs at your pet hotel.

This way, each area can have its own configuration based on how it actually operates.

If non-working days are shared by all areas, you do not need to configure them one by one. You can configure them in just one area and copy them to the rest easily.

Examples of non-working days:


public holidays by country for configuring non-working days in pet business software
Public holiday
weekly rest days and closures for pet hotels, grooming salons, veterinarians and pet daycare centers
Day off
maintenance days, facility work and special closures in pet businesses
Maintenance or works
vacations and temporary closures in calendars for pet hotels, daycare centers, grooming salons and veterinary clinics
Vacation

The configuration is very advanced: you can define exact dates, dates that repeat every year or date ranges. For example:

  • December 25, every year.

  • August 15, every year.

  • September 1 to 15 for vacation.

  • A specific day for facility maintenance.

appointment and online booking availability for pet businesses with business hours and non-working days

You can also decide whether a non-working day applies to every area of your business or only to specific areas. For example, you could close grooming for one day while keeping the hotel active, or block store deliveries on a specific date while continuing to provide other services.


business hours and non-working days for pet hotels, dog grooming salons, pet daycare centers and veterinary clinics

What happens with pet hotel stays?

In pet hotels, stays can be long. That means the check-in day, the check-out day or an intermediate day during the stay may be a non-working day or a public holiday.

For example:

  • A stay runs from July 1 to July 30.

  • You configured July 7 as a non-working day.


non-working date range during pet hotel stays and dog daycare bookings

In this case, Gespet will show a warning indicating that the stay includes a day you defined as non-working.


Automatic public holiday import for pet businesses


To save time, simply select the country and Gespet will automatically add the fixed public holidays for that country.

In this option, you can configure your business details and contact information that will appear on documents, invoices, and messages you send.

In the Data section, you can configure the details of your business, and in the Invoice data section, the information that will appear exclusively on invoices.

Logo. You can upload 2 different logos: a main one that will appear in the online booking request system, in the emails you send, etc., and a different logo for printed documents. (for example, you may use a black-and-white logo to save ink).

  • The maximum allowed image size is: 1024 x 1024 pixels (width x height)

  • The maximum file size is 1 MB

If the software does not allow you to upload an image, you can use any image converter to meet these requirements and then upload it successfully.


Footer for printed documents. You can include text that will appear on invoices, on appointment/booking summary documents, check-in/service, check-out, etc. This is useful for adding legal information, additional details, etc.

To maintain the correct document layout, it is not possible to include more than 1,000 characters in the footer.
If you need to add a large amount of information, for example in the invoice footer you hand to the client, and want to include extensive return policies or legal/privacy information, you can:

  • Create a specific document with that information:

    • Go to Tools > Documents and contracts

    • Create the documents you need, for example “Return Policy” or “Privacy Policy”

    • Select the type Sale

  • When making a sale, these documents will appear so you can send or print them and deliver them to the client along with the invoice

  • Optionally, in the Invoice footer field you can reference these documents. For example: “See all details in the attached document ‘Return Policy’.”

Text on tax-exempt invoices. If in your country/business activity there are situations where invoices are exempt from taxes, you can add an additional text that will only appear on tax-exempt invoices.

Logo. You can upload 2 different logos: a main one that will appear in the online booking request system, in the emails you send, etc., and a different logo for printed documents. (for example, you may use another one just for documents).

  • The maximum allowed image size is: 1024 x 1024 pixels (width x height)

  • The maximum file size is 1 MB

Email footer: from the software you can send emails to confirm/cancel an appointment/booking, an online booking, send a ticket/invoice, etc. In this section, you can set up a text that will appear in those emails. For example, you can include your business details or other useful information.
Limit: The maximum is 65,535 characters.

company details and invoice data settings in pet business software




You can manage your employees with all the necessary contact and work information.

employee management for pet grooming salons, pet hotels and pet businesses

You can deactivate employees who are no longer active. This way, they won't appear in the employee selectors when assigning a service, session, etc., but since they're not deleted, you'll retain the historical data with their information.

When you click on an employee in the list, all the information appears:

At the top there are 2 buttons:

  • Quick actions or "shortcuts": add a new animal for that client, make an appointment, print the information, ...

  • show or hide the right-side menu to expand the workspace

Using the quick access buttons, you can send an email, make a call or open WhatsApp to contact the employee. Click the corresponding icon (envelope, phone or WhatsApp).

You can add more phone numbers and email addresses for an employee. By clicking the "more information" icon, new fields appear so you can record those details.

When you enter the address and click Save, a Google Maps map with that address will appear. You can zoom using the map controls.

employee profile with contact details, address and work information in pet business software

In the Working information section, you can write down the information related to the employee's training, salary or payment conditions, payment details, and other work information.

If your grooming salon or training center pays employees a percentage of the services they perform, for example 30%, you can record that percentage here so you do not need to remember it manually.

To see the services performed by an employee in your pet training center or pet grooming salon, open the Services and billing by employee report. Select a date range to view the number of services and their total amount. This makes it easy to calculate the amount owed for those services.

You can also see the average time spent on those services and the last service performed by that employee.

employee permissions and secure access control module for pet business software


If you also have the Users Software, you can create more users, each user accesses an independent account and you can control:

  • You can specify the days and hours in which a user can access

  • You can indicate the visible options for a user

  • See when the users log-in and log-out session

You can control the access of your employees to improve the security of your business.

If you want to add, edit or delete breeds, you can do it from this option. Then, when you add a new animal, you only need to search for the breed in the advanced selector instead of typing it every time.

dog breed, cat breed and animal breed selector in pet business software


For mixed-breed dogs or animals without a specific breed, we have created the "Common" breed. If you prefer to create another breed, you can do it from this option.



You can configure the next invoice number to be issued, and the software assigns that number to the following ones, this way the invoices are correctly numbered.

For example, if you start using the software now and this year you have already generated 25 invoices, if you want the next one to be number 26 (to be correlated), then write 26.

This numbering does not reset at the end of the month or the year. It will always continue with the numbering of the last invoice.

You can configure whether invoice and credit note numbers should include a prefix. You can choose whether the invoice number should:

  • Have no prefix. For example, the invoice number will be 000042.

  • Use the prefix you choose. For example, with the prefix INV, the invoice number will be INV.000042.

    * The maximum prefix size is 10 characters

  • Automatically include the Year.Month prefix: In April 2021, the next number could be 2021.04.000042.


As you can see, on the right side of the screen, there is a preview, which allows you to see how the next invoice number and credit note number will look, depending on the configuration you choose.

invoice numbering and billing series for pet business software, dog services and cat services




You can configure different numbering sequences for the different types of invoices:

  • Invoice

    This number will be used to issue full invoices.

  • Credit Note

    This number will be used to issue a Credit Note (Corrective Invoice).

    If you don’t configure one, the number you have set for Invoice will be used.


  • Simplified Invoice

    This number will be used to issue Simplified Invoices.

    If you don’t configure one, the number you have set for Invoice (full) will be used.


  • Credit Note for a Simplified Invoice

    A credit note for a simplified invoice (or simplified credit note) is automatically generated whenever you choose to create a corrective invoice from a simplified invoice.

    This number will be used to issue credit notes for simplified invoices (or simplified credit notes).

    If you don’t configure one, the following will apply:

    • The number you have set in Credit Note, if configured.

    • If not, the number you have set in Invoice will be used.






Special Data Export

From this option, you can perform a complete export of the data in .xls (Excel) format. If you decide to stop using the software and want to export the information stored in your account, you can do it yourself using this option.

To proceed, simply click the Export button. An .xls file will be saved in the download folder configured in your web browser.



For performance and security reasons, a full data export can only be performed once a day. After 24 hours from the last download, if necessary, you can request a new complete export.



Complete Data Deletion. Account Wipe

As you know, it is not possible to delete records partially (for example, deleting all invoices). However, most users use their accounts with fictional data for a while to test and familiarize themselves with the system.
After the testing period, when they start working with real data, they need to delete the fictional data to proceed with the configuration of the real data, client and animal registration, invoice generation, etc.
This option is specifically designed for that. It allows you to wipe your account completely (all data and configurations will be deleted, and your account will be restored to the default settings).

The deletion is final, meaning that the data will be completely erased and cannot be recovered.
To prevent accidental deletion, the system will inform you of the total and permanent deletion process, and will require several confirmations.
After these confirmations, the total data wipe will be executed, and you will receive an informational email at the primary email address (this is the access address of the administrator user).

If you have doubts, do not proceed. Contact us first, and we will be happy to help you with any questions you may have.
Remember that the process is irreversible. If the data is deleted, it cannot be recovered later.

This option will be available exclusively to the Administrator user, so if your business has multiple users configured, only you, as the Administrator, will see this option. The rest of the users, who access using their own login credentials (username and password), will not be able to execute it.


Keep in mind that if everyone uses the Administrator's login credentials, they will all have administrator permissions, and therefore, anyone could execute this action and completely delete the data. The data will not be recoverable afterward.



How Does the Security and Access Control Module Work?

If you have multiple users and need to limit their access, the security and access control module is available. Each user will have their own login credentials, and you will be able to control:

  • The days and times users can access the software.

  • The options they can use or view.

  • A log of all access attempts (time, IP address, operating system used).

You will control your employees' access for greater business security. See more information:

More information

If you want to add it to your account, it's very simple:

You can request it from us, and we will add it to your current subscription.

Or if you prefer to do it yourself, you just need to:

  • Log in to your account (using your username and password).

  • On the first screen that appears, click to purchase the security and access control module for users.

  • Fill in the payment details, and it will be activated immediately on your account.



You can modify the passwords to access the software. You just have to type the current password and the new one.

Additionally, for security reasons:

  • You will have to type the new password twice. In this way, we avoid typing errors.

  • The software will show if that password has a low, medium or high security level. To make this easier to identify, the level is shown with red, orange or green colors.

  • New password: Type the new password you want to use

  • Old password: If you have used the "Remember password" option, write the password you received by email


  • Must be at least 10 characters

  • Must contain at least one UPPERCASE and one LOWERCASE character

  • Must include at least one number

  • Must include at least one symbol

For your security and the security of your data, it is very important that you have good habits with the passwords of the different accounts/services that you use:

  • Change passwords frequently

  • Never use the same password on multiple sites or services

  • Do not share passwords with others or write them down, especially near the device

  • Change default passwords for devices and online services.

We have collected security recommendations and created a short help guide with useful tips. We recommend reading it.

Security recommendations

From time to time, the password will expire. That is, you will have to change it to a new password.
If the software displays the message that the password has expired, you just have to change it to a new password and you will be able to continue working normally.
We know that this can be annoying, but our goal is to keep you and your data safe.



Information about the storage capacity used by external files (when you include a scanned document or a photo of a customer, animal, ...) in the software.

storage quota and email usage details in pet business management software

You can also view the number of emails sent and the number of emails still available to send.

This amount is limited monthly to encourage responsible email sending and prevent mass mailing or spam. On the 1st day of each month, this counter returns to 0.

You will receive a notice when you are close to the available email credit limit. You can buy extra credit to send more emails. To do so, access the software and click the icon to buy additional email credit.

Email consumption: Every time you send an email from the software (online booking confirmation or cancellation, booking confirmation, invoice, ticket, automatic reminder, etc.), 1 unit is added to the emails consumed.

If you also want to send a copy to your own email address by checking "send a copy", another email will be sent to that address and another unit will be added to the emails consumed.

As you know, commercial communications must have been requested or expressly accepted by the recipient, unless there is a previous commercial relationship or the data comes from publicly available sources.
Any other use, including massive and systematic email sending, may be considered spam and may be subject to penalties.
Before sending emails to users or customers, make sure you have their consent and use email responsibly.
Sending an appointment reminder, invoice, ticket or service-related message is not the same as sending newsletters or advertising emails. Even if a user has agreed to receive advertising emails, avoid sending too many messages or irrelevant information.


When you send an email from the software, Gespet checks the GDPR section of the customer record to verify whether that customer has accepted communications or notices. If consent has not been expressly accepted, the software will show a warning.

You can also configure as many payment methods as you need: check, discount coupon, PayPal, Multibanco, Bizum, etc.



  • Show overdue items: Lets you choose whether the software should show overdue bookings, appointments, services, check-ins and check-outs.

With this option, you can easily configure the look and feel, as well as the content of those automatic reminders.

If you have the Communication and Marketing module, in addition to the automatic reminders that you schedule and that get sent automatically when the time arrives, you can also send them reminders whenever you want. You can set them up under Marketing > Settings > Reminders

GES-PET TIPS AND TRICKS

Sending reminders to your customers is a must-do strategy to ensure they don’t forget their appointments, which in turn optimizes your schedule and boosts your business efficiency.

Imagine the peace of mind your customers will feel when they receive a friendly and professional message reminding them of their next appointment, all with a design that reflects your brand’s identity.

Using templates for these reminders not only ensures consistency in your communication but also strengthens your company’s image as organized and thoughtful.
Each reminder becomes an opportunity to connect, showing that you value their time and are committed to providing the best experience.

Moreover, by automating this process, you save time and reduce the risk of errors, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: building long-lasting relationships with your customers and delivering exceptional service.

Don’t let your customers forget their appointments; make them feel valued and well taken care of with personalized and effective reminders!

For example, imagine you want to include appointment/reservation details, an informational message about your cancellation policy, your business address with a link to Google Maps, your contact phone number, ...

You can set this up under the Settings > Automatic Reminders option and save yourself a ton of time, as you won’t have to write this out each time you send a reminder to a customer.


sending automatic grooming appointment reminders to customers

Some of your customers might speak different languages, and businesses often have customers from all corners of the world, so communication needs to be set up in multiple languages.

We've got it all covered, which is why our templates are multi-language. You can configure a different one for each language you wish.

No need to remember each customer’s preferred language—just select it in their profile. That way, you can send them the template in their language without a hitch.

In the option Settings > Automatic Reminders, select the type you want to edit, and a list of templates will appear. There's a search function and a language selector.

You can filter by language to see, for example, only the templates in Spanish.

There are different templates for each area of your business. Just choose the one you want to edit.

You can set up the text however you like, and for emails, you can also configure the subject.

We've included an editor that will help you make your messages look more attractive. You can even add emojis or icons using the Insert > Emojis option, and add links (for example, to your website, social media, etc.) using the Insert > Link option.

On the right, you'll see a preview, and it will update as you make changes, so you can keep track of how it's turning out.

If you'd like, you can replace the customer's name, their pets, the date/time, etc. Just set it up where you want it to appear, and when the message is sent, it will be replaced with the customer’s details automatically.

For example, if you want to include the pet names or appointment time in a message, you don’t have to type them manually each time.

It's a breeze! If you use the placeholder text RESERVATION > PETS > NAME, when you send the message, the software will replace it with the pet names for that appointment.

Just position it where you want this text to appear.

Click on the TEMPLATE TEXT icon.

You can configure de hotel services and prices. You can create different prices and services: high / low tourist season, special offers for multiple animals, offers for weekend, long stays etc.


IMPORTANT: Before setting all your rates or prices, make sure that you have configured the tax correctly in the Settings > Language/currency/tax option, because they will all have the same tax that you have configured in this option.

For example:

  • If in this option you have configured the general tax as 0%

  • After you configure a new hotel service, .. that service will also have the tax at 0%

  • If in the future you modify the general tax and change it, for example, to 7%, this will not be changed in the services or rates that you already had configured.

The CODE is not automatic or corrective, it is a free code, that is, you can use the code or reference that you want, (like a barcode but for your services). You can simply be a number (1, 2,3, ...) or a special code by categories, what you consider best,   for example:

  • H01 Single room

  • H02 VIP Room

  • T01 Trasport

  • E01 Extra: camera service in the room

  • A01: Special food supplement  


The PRICES:

  • If you type the base price (or price without tax), it automatically calculates the sale price   (or final price including taxes) based on the percentage configured tax.

  • If you type the sale price (or final price including taxes), it automatically calculates the base price (or price without taxes) based on the tax percentage configured.

  • The % TAX is the same as you have configured in the Configuration > Language/Currency


The services can be deleted, except the services "you are using". If you have booking/check-in/check-outs .. that include the service for example "Basic stay", you can not delete that service from the list, because it would also be deleted from those booking/check-in ...

In this case, this message will appear informing you of the reason why it is not possible to delete the service. Remember: You CAN modify it, but you CAN NOT delete it.

To modify a service:

  • Click on that service

  • Change the name, price, ...

  • Click on the Save button



If the % of taxes has changed? What I can do?How can I modify it in the software ?:


For example, the new % TAX is the 8%, to change it:

  • Access to the Settings > Language/Currency/Taxes option

  • Write the new VAT, for example 8%

  • Access to the Settings > Hotel services option

    In the services that you had configured before and that you have already billed, you cannot change the %VAT.

    You can change the name, or de price but cannot change the %VAT, because this would affect the invoices and the reports.

  • If you are no longer going to use them, you can mark them as Inactive.

    If it's marked as "inactive", will not be available when making a new booking or check-in, for example, but since it hasn't been removed, you'll keep all your previous sales history and reports.

  • Add the services, now the %TAX for this services is 8%.

Filling the gaps in the planning. How to make stays in different rooms?

When a room is occupied or is not available because you have disabled it, you can not select it to make a new booking/check-in.

By default the system is not designed to do this because by default, each animal is assigned to a room for the entire stay, in the same way as "human" hotels, but if you want to fill gaps in the planning, that is, you need to do a booking/check-inbut there is no room that is available and you want to move the animal between rooms, we recommend that you read:

The way to solve it is by placing a "0" in front of it, this way they will appear correctly numbered:

01

02

...

10.A

10.B

11

12

...

20
