The DropBox module allows professionals to store pets' vaccination records, customer contracts and other documents in a centralized repository. Kennel Link allows daycare facilities to send ad-hoc messages, receipts or reminders to customers via email and issue gift cards to enhance client experience. Managers can accept payments via cash or credit/debit cards and capture customers' signatures using a kiosk. Additionally, administrators can generate reports to track business metrics and handle groomers' calendars, commissions, vaccinations and billing processes. Using Kennel Link's texting module, dog boarding facilities can automatically send reservation confirmations, vaccination expiration alerts, thank you notes and more to clients. The product is available on monthly subscriptions and support is extended via phone, email and other online measures. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 73 users.

It is easy to use - which in my case is extremely important due to my lack of technical skills. It take no time for my staff to learn how to use it for reservations, selling products, looking up clients etc.Their customer service is absolutely wonderful. > > **Cons**: There is nothing I don't like about Kennel Link > > I just celebrated 20 years as owner of my kennel. The previous owner had been using Kennel Link and I kept it. Its a great program. When I ever need to change something or have a question, \[sensitive content hidden\] are extremely quick to respond. ----- ### "We Love Kennel Link" — 5.0/5 > **Stace** | *13 December 2019* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We used a few other reservation systems before finding kennel link. The software is so easy to learn, the Kennel link team is fast in adding any additional feature we need. Compared to other software packages it is very reasonably priced > > **Cons**: There isn't anything i dislike about Kennel Link > > We use the software for daycare, boarding and boutique items which may be purchased at the time the dog is boarding. It is so easy to use and easy to train new employees on. ----- ### "Functional, but lacking" — 3.0/5 > **Shelley** | *12 December 2019* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Overall, it is easy to use. And if you do make a mistake, these are usually easily fixed > > **Cons**: I feel we dont have any customer support. There are weird things happening in our system that we cannot account for. > > Kennel Link is basic dog daycare software. So if you are running a basic daycare, then this is the software for you ----- ### "Great Service" — 5.0/5 > **Julia** | *4 September 2023* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Kennel Link is easy to use and the layout makes sense. Its great value, they keep adding features and improving the product, and the customer service is amazing. > > **Cons**: When you hit the back button when making a reservation, you have to start all over. > > It's been amazing and I can't see myself going anywhere else. ----- ### "100% Satisfied With Kennel Link" — 5.0/5 > **Judi** | *3 September 2023* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer service is amazing. In the event that I have any questions or concerns I get immediate service. This is very important as in today’s society. Customer service has gone down hill. > > **Cons**: There’s really not anything that I don’t like about Kennel Link . If I had to say anything that I wish so that they would improve on, it would be the ability to list more than one veterinarian because sometimes we will have two dogs and each one will have a different vet but that’s not a deal breaker. > > We haven’t had a bad experience with kennel link at all. They’re always on top of everything, and will instantly work at solving any problems that may arise. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/138853/kennel-link?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/138853/kennel-link) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
