Questions to ask

Do not compare feature labels. Compare what happens on a busy day.

Is the business mostly sitting and walking, or does it need daycare, boarding, grooming, and retail workflows too?

Can the platform handle multi-pet bookings, branch rules, rooms, forms, memberships, and billing complexity?

Will field staff, front desk, owners, and accountants share enough context?

How much reporting is available beyond visit completion and invoicing?
