Which kennel software should I switch from?

Most facilities come from Gingr, PetExec or a booking spreadsheet. DatCog includes feed, play, roster and a client portal at one price.

Is DatCog a Gingr or PetExec alternative?

Yes. DatCog is built for floor operations first-feed rounds, medication accountability and safe playgroups-then bookings and billing.

If you are leaving Gingr, PetExec or a spreadsheet, this is what actually changes on the floor.
