WhatsApp appointment reminders for dog groomers: confirmation on every booking, a reminder before the appointment, from your number. No cost per message.

Confirmation on booking, a reminder the day before, from your number. You don't type a single message.

## One message. And a full grooming table.

- Booked, and the confirmation is already out. As soon as an owner has picked service, the dog's size and a time through your link, the WhatsApp with service, date and time goes out. No account, no app, within seconds. Bruno's appointment is confirmed from the first minute.
- Deposit plus reminder. Doubly safe. On the two-hour hand-strip you take a deposit through Stripe, on the nail trim the reminder is enough. Both you set per service. Whoever has paid a deposit and been reminded is at the door with the dog at ten.
- Booked by phone. Reminded all the same. When the AI phone assistant books an appointment while you've got both hands on a dog, the reminder runs along exactly as it does for every online booking. Confirmation straight away, reminder beforehand, status on the appointment. No channel falls through.
- Your number. Your tone. Your vaccination note. You connect your WhatsApp with a QR code. A week before, 24 hours before, 2 hours before or your own timing, every message with its own text, say "bring the vaccination record". Whoever can't make it writes back into your chat. No cost per message.
- Status on every appointment. For every groomer. In the salon calendar every appointment shows whether the reminder is out: sent, scheduled, failed. Every colleague sees it on her own appointments. And after the appointment terminio reminds the owner to book the next one in eight weeks.
- Reminds you too. On the watch. If you want, your own phone reminds you before every appointment, even offline. The next dog sits on the smartwatch, without touching the phone with wet hands. Web app on the counter, app, watch: one account, the same picture.

## Common questions

**Do the messages come from my number or from a stranger's?** From yours. You connect your WhatsApp in the app with a QR code, and your number stays your number. Owners see the salon they know, and whoever can't make it replies straight into your chat instead of calling while you've got a dog on the table.

**Can I put in the reminder that the vaccination record has to come along?** Yes. You write the text yourself, the way you speak, and "bring the vaccination record" fits in any reminder. Name, date, time and service terminio fills in when sending. While writing you see the message exactly as it reaches the owner.

**When should the WhatsApp appointment reminder for a grooming salon go out?** The classic is 24 hours before, the most effective message against forgotten appointments. You can add a week before, two hours before or a time of your own, every reminder switched on and off individually, each with its own text.

**What does a WhatsApp appointment reminder cost?** Nothing per message. The Free plan includes five reminders a month, from Pro they are unlimited. No SMS fees, no credit to top up. Pro you can try free for seven days and cancel monthly.

**Does terminio remind my regulars about the next appointment in eight weeks too?** Yes. After the appointment terminio reminds the owner by WhatsApp to book the next one, and the link goes straight to your booking page. Regulars book the groomer they know while they're at it, and you see in the calendar whether the message is out.

**Does this really help against no-shows in a grooming salon?** Every no-show is an empty grooming table that costs anyway: rent, a colleague, the lost two-hour gap. A short WhatsApp appointment reminder beforehand brings most of them back. For long appointments the deposit comes on top. You set it up once, and from then on terminio writes.
