DatCog brings bookings, feed sheets, medication logs, playgroup management and staff rostering into one place. Clear information, fewer errors, and peace of mind for every animal in your care.
For kennels and catteries
One platform for dogs and cats. Boarding, daycare and grooming in a single place, with the same care, safety and clarity for every animal.
See how it works
Built for how you work
One clear interface, on any device. Run your business from anywhere.
One clean, easy-to-use interface on phone, tablet, or desktop. Your team stays in sync, and your kennel or cattery runs smoothly no matter where you are.
Same experience on every device. Your business, running smoothly.
Other systems treat pets as inventory. They don’t have feed sheets, playgroup organisers with drag & drop, or relationship tracking.
DatCog maps animal relationships for safe playgroups, keeps medication lists complete for owner transparency, and gives you one place for welfare and operations, so nothing slips.

Why DatCog
Built around the way you actually care for animals: clear records, safe groups, and fewer incidents.
First occupant relationship tracking
Our booking system is the first to track which dogs get along. Dogs are paired with compatible dogs, so you build safe playgroups and reduce incidents, not guesswork.
Playgroup manager that learns
In the playgroup manager you drag dogs onto each other to record how they interact: report an incident (negative) or mark them as friends. The system uses this to suggest safe groups and avoid pairings that don’t work.
Daily medication checklists
DatCog generates daily medication checklists with clear details for each animal. Staff mark tasks off with time-stamped completion, so nothing is missed and owners can see exactly when meds were given.
Daily feed sheets
Printable and digital feed sheets generated daily so every animal’s meals are tracked and nothing is missed.
Staff rostering, payroll & leave
Rostering, payroll and leave management in one place, no separate staffing software. Shifts, roles, locations, timesheets and payslips all in DatCog.
Customer transparency
Animal profiles, alerts and incident reports keep owners in the loop. Clients see care details and you keep communication clear and professional.
