How DatCog fits your day

Five things, one system

Real screens from our demo environment. What your team uses every shift.

Run the floor

Feed sheets, meds and safe playgroups

Your kitchen and yard teams see the same live data: meals, medication rounds and playgroups with relationship rules built in.

  • Kitchen-ready feed schedule with AM/PM meals and med columns
  • Staff sign off meds from the floor. Managers see completion instantly.
  • Play View with separation rules so unsafe groupings never slip through

Bookings, check-in and every pet on file

From today's arrivals to a pet's full care history. One dashboard instead of tabs, spreadsheets and sticky notes.

  • Arrivals, departures and occupancy at a glance
  • Check-in captures kennel, food, meds and playgroup in one flow
  • Pet profiles with photos, vaccinations and feeding instructions

Roster, timesheets and a staff app they'll use

Build the week, email rosters and run payroll. Included with daily care, not a separate HR subscription.

  • Drag-and-drop roster builder with templates and conflict alerts
  • Staff app on their phone: Feed, Play, clock-in and team chat
  • Timesheets, payslips and accountant-friendly exports

A client portal they actually use

Owners request stays, view invoices and update pet care. Branded with your kennel name, not a generic login page.

  • Request a stay. You approve from your notifications queue.
  • View and print branded invoices from the portal
  • Update feeding and medication details before they arrive

Common questions

Before you book

Does DatCog include feed sheets and medication tracking?+

Yes. The Feed Schedule shows every meal and med column, printable for the kitchen and signed off by staff on the floor. Managers see completion on the dashboard in real time.

Is rostering and payroll really included?+

Yes. Roster builder, timesheets, payslips and payroll exports are built in, not a separate subscription. Most kennels drop a standalone HR tool when they switch.

Can I try it before committing?+

Book a demo. No credit card. We'll walk through your facility's workflows: feed rounds, playgroups, rostering and the client portal.
