Adjacent and excluded products

1 adjacent and 0 explicitly excluded records, recorded outside the main dog grooming market, with the reason in each case. An adjacent product may still fit one of the buyer situations above.

  • Tailworks

    AdjacentLast checked
    Why it is adjacent
    Tailworks combines grooming software with a managed website, setup, hosting and ongoing support. Its buying model is therefore different from the self-service software in the main market.
    Best aligned with
    Independent UK dog groomers looking for a managed website, online booking, deposits, reminders and ongoing support rather than configuring and maintaining the software themselves.
    Less aligned with
    Price-sensitive groomers who only need booking and customer management software, or larger teams looking for a broader operational platform.

Coverage

Dog-grooming-specific software covering solo salons, mobile groomers, small teams and multi-location businesses, with international alternatives identified separately.

Market scope

  1. General appointment software is not included in the main market where it lacks dog-grooming-specific features such as pet records, breed or size pricing and recurring grooming workflows.
  2. Boarding and daycare systems are not included where grooming is a secondary service rather than the product's main focus.
  3. Tailworks is classified as adjacent because it combines software with a managed website and support service.
  4. Orbis Pet also appears in the dog-walking market. Its product record is shared across both markets, with separate assessments for each.
