Everything the facility needs. Nothing bolted on later.
Calendars, floor care, Pro Groom, roster, portal, report cards, shop and Stripe in one price. For kennels, catteries, daycare and groomers.
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
- Recurring bookings, waitlists and pet profiles with vaccinations
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
Roster, timesheets and a staff app they will 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
Professional from first impression to final invoice
Your logo, colours and business name everywhere: login screen, staff app, client portal and outgoing emails.
- Theme Studio to match your brand colours across every portal
- Invoice and booking emails sent from your kennel name
- Public registration link so new clients join under your brand
Report cards with photos, video and play friends
After daycare or boarding, send photos, demeanor and who they played with as a branded link or PDF from the same dashboard your team already works in.
- Batch start from today's occupancy: one card per dog in the building
- Photos and videos from the day's media library
- Play friends can promote into the permanent relationship graph
Shop and POS for passes, retail and add-ons
A touch-friendly till for visit packs, food, leads and one-off charges. Categories, stock and payment method, not a second retail app.
- POS tiles sized for the counter: passes, items, services, add-ons
- Link a product to a visit pack so a sale creates the pass automatically
- EFTPOS, account or cash, same client file as bookings
Stripe for invoices and boarding deposits
Connect Stripe once. Owners pay branded invoices and deposits from the portal. Payouts go to your kennel, without a spreadsheet of card numbers.
- Online payments on branded invoices
- Boarding deposits paid in the portal

Questions
Does DatCog include a proper booking calendar?
Yes. Arrivals, departures, occupancy, availability, check-in/out, recurring bookings and waitlists are core, not an afterthought. Welfare tools sit on the same live data.
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.
