A mobile app option but I believe this is in development ;) > > We love it and \[sensitive content hidden\] was tremendous not only on-boarding us which made switching to a new application more welcoming and less stressful but also so VERY quick to respond with any questions we had/have\!\! ----- ### "Love this product" — 5.0/5 > **Rachael** | *14 February 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Vaccine records, client portal, one stop shop for your dog business. Clients love how easy the portal is too. And it’s easy for our business to use and teach to new employees very straightforward. Customer service is top notch. > > **Cons**: Credit issues on customer accounts, sometimes they are a bit glitchy. > > I would recommend it to anyone it’s wonderful and so easy. ----- ### "BEWARE: LMS (online course creator) is incredibly misrepresented." — 3.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *24 February 2023* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like being able to create templates and automatic messages based on an event. They offer document management, so I can send multiple docs with one click. > > **Cons**: Busy Paws advertises that the Learning Management System is comparable to "Kajabi or Teachable, built for dog trainers." This is misleading and FALSE. The LMS is nothing like Kajabi or Teachable.If you plan to use the LMS, look elsewhere. Pricing for Busy Paw's CMS and LMS is equal to or greater than Acuity tiers with any LMS (Teachable, Kajabi, Ruzuku, LearnWorlds, etc.), but they do not offer the same feature list. Instead, they offer a bare-bones WYSIWYG without the ability to add templates or columns, in-line images, or any formatting aside from text. No embedding or ability to open links in a new window.No ability to resize images. Images size to fit, so they are huge and grainy. No assessment features, quizzes, or surveys.There is no way to track courses. 'Courses Completed' is not accurate. I have to log in to the client to see the progress.No landing page or ability to preview courses. I must build a page from the ground up to showcase my courses. Then maintain it.The client must go through the onboarding process to sign up for a course. While the Client Management System features are great, the Learning Management System is seriously lacking and should not even be called an LMS. > > My overall experience with the CMS was good. The software has a lot of functions that save time and help me stay organized.However, the misrepresentation of the LMS is so disappointing that I would not recommend Busy Paws. ----- ### "Easy to use and setup, very ascetically pleasing\!" — 5.0/5 > **Brenda** | *22 January 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: So easy to use and set up on your own. The software is very ascetic and flows well. Calendar view is very nice and can choose to view by day, week and month. Payment processing is very easy. The client portal is very easy to use for clients and designed very well. I switched to Gingr for a month only because I was going to set up cameras to use on the app, but switched back to Busy Paws because it was way more user friendly than Gingr. I would highly recommend this software for your boarding and daycare business. The price of this software is very fair for what you get. > > **Cons**: There is a “work around” for pricing, depending on your pricing policies, however, they do have an upgrade for “dynamic pricing” but I really cant afford it right now. > > Very easy to use and it really “runs my business for me”. The client portal is easy to use for your clients to book directly. ----- ### "Busy Paws has been an absolute game-changer for us\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jonna** | *20 October 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: First, their customer service is unmatched. Even at my most daft, the Busy Paws team is always there to help. I appreciate their willingness to schedule meetings to troubleshoot any issues, and their staff is incredibly kind and patient. Our entire team is so grateful for \[sensitive content hidden\]— they’ve made everything so much smoother for us\! Their plans are not only affordable but also incredibly robust. Busy Paws covers all of our needs — from scheduling and vaccines to contracts and so much more — and the value for the price is unbeatable. Another standout feature is the ease of use. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, and if you do get stuck, helpful articles and videos guide you through. It’s made our whole process so much more efficient. Busy Paws is also consistent — we’ve never experienced outages or communication issues. And they genuinely care. We’ve had a few minor emergencies, and they’ve been right there with advice and support, walking us through our mistakes to ensure our clients are impacted as little as possible. > > **Cons**: We just want an app. The interface it too small on our phones in browser. We hear there may be an app coming\! > > We honestly couldn’t be happier with Busy Paws. They’ve transformed the way we manage things, and we’re so thankful for their excellent service and support\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/262499/busypaws?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/262499/busypaws) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
