Full dog grooming intake that asks what your team actually needs to
Ask every new client for their dog's size, coat type, and whether the coat is currently matted or the dog is anxious during grooming, plus a coat photo, so your team can quote the right appointment length before it's on the schedule.
The exact intake your full dog grooming leads complete

What a qualified full dog grooming lead should tell you
A complete grooming service for dogs covering bath, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, and brush-out, where coat condition, size, and temperament determine how long the appointment will take and whether extra care is needed.

The questions your team needs answered
Every full dog grooming intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What size is your dog? | Dog size affects how long a full groom will take and whether the appointment needs a larger table or tub slot. |
| What best describes your dog's coat? | Coat type determines the tools and technique needed, and a 'not sure' answer signals the client may need a coat assessment before a firm quote. |
| Is your dog's coat currently free of matting or tangles? | A matted or tangled coat carries a lower weight because it usually means extra dematting time or a different service is needed before a standard full groom. |
| Is your dog generally comfortable and cooperative during grooming? | A dog that isn't comfortable or cooperative during grooming needs extra handler time or a muzzle-trained groomer, so this weighs heavily in the score. |
| Is your dog free of skin conditions, wounds, or sensitive areas requiring special care? | Skin conditions or sensitive areas can require gentler products or a shorter session, making this one of the highest-weighted screening signals. |
| When was your dog last professionally groomed? | How recently the dog was groomed indicates how much coat maintenance work is needed and whether it's likely a first-time or repeat booking. |
| Are you the owner or authorized caregiver able to approve grooming for this dog? | Confirming the submitter is the owner or an authorized caregiver reduces the risk of booking a groom that hasn't actually been approved by the person responsible for the dog. |

Built for full dog grooming workflows
| Cliont capability | Full Dog Grooming application |
|---|---|
| Photo upload capture | Collects a coat photo up front so groomers can see matting or coat length before confirming, instead of discovering the condition when the dog arrives. |
| Weighted scoring engine | Applies the intake's higher weights on matting, temperament, skin condition, and owner authorization to surface bookings that may need extra time or a confirmation call. |
| Structured routing to CRM | Sends dog size, coat type, and grooming history straight to your CRM so front-desk staff aren't re-asking the same questions when the client calls to confirm. |
| Conditional intake logic | Uses the coat type and matting answers to determine whether a lead reads as a standard full groom or one that likely needs additional service time. |
Common full dog grooming lead scenarios
Matted doodle needing dematting
A curly or doodle-type coat that isn't currently free of matting scores lower on the comfort/condition signals, flagging that the appointment likely needs extra time or a dematting fee rather than a standard full groom slot.
Well-behaved, mat-free regular client
A dog groomed within the last three months with no matting, no skin issues, and a cooperative temperament clears all four high-value signals, making it a straightforward booking with no special handling.
Sitter submitting on owner's behalf
When the person filling out the intake isn't the owner or authorized caregiver, the low weight on that answer signals the booking may need a callback to confirm authorization before it's confirmed.
Giant breed with skin sensitivity
A large or giant dog flagged as not free of skin conditions or sensitive areas needs the groomer to review before scheduling, since that answer carries one of the higher weights in the intake.

Full Dog Grooming lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake flag dogs with matted or tangled coats?
The intake asks directly whether the dog's coat is currently free of matting or tangles, and a 'no' answer carries a lower weight so you can spot jobs that likely need dematting time or a different service before they're booked as a standard groom.
What happens if a dog has skin conditions or sensitive areas?
There's a specific yes/no question about skin conditions, wounds, or sensitive areas, and a 'no' response is one of the highest-weighted signals in this intake so those bookings stand out for review before confirming.
Can the intake tell me if a dog is difficult to handle?
Yes, the intake asks whether the dog is generally comfortable and cooperative during grooming, which is one of the four highest-weighted questions in this catalog and helps you plan handler time or staffing accordingly.
Does the form check who's actually allowed to authorize grooming?
It asks whether the person submitting is the owner or an authorized caregiver, and this carries a notably low weight when answered 'no,' so you can catch third-party submissions that may need a confirmation call.
How is this different from your De-Shedding Treatment or Specialty Coat Care intake?
Full Dog Grooming covers the standard bath, cut, nails, and ears with matting and temperament screening built in, while De-Shedding Treatment and Specialty Coat Care are separate sibling intakes for clients whose primary need is heavy shedding or coat-specific issues rather than a full groom.
What does the intake ask about coat type and size?
It captures the dog's size (small through giant) and coat type (short, long, curly/doodle, thick double, or not sure), which together with the matting question help you estimate how long a full groom will actually take.
