What do you like best about DaySmart Pet?

My favourite part of the software is how organized it keeps things. The reports are very helpful for tracking business growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

I bought the software outright instead of paying a monthly fee. I bought a new computer for which my version was out dated. I had to pay more for my upgrade than I paid to purchase the program originally. WAY MORE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaySmart Pet solving and how is that benefiting you?

The program keeps track of everything! It is user friendly and well laid out. It keeps all your important client, pet, business and payroll info in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DaySmart Pet?

We have been using this software for over seven years. It was perfect when we first bought it in 2011. It was easy to use and worked exactly how we needed it to work. This is no longer the case and it is now costing us time and money instead of saving it... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaySmart Pet?

Most of our customers have standing reservations for daycare and also buy packages. You can no longer schedule out their reservations and pull from their package. It counts future dates against the package so you cannot add an additional day if requested and pull from the package. It charges them full price and there is no way to change it unless you start deleting future days and then it just becomes a nightmare. Scheduling is the main function of this software and it does not do what it needs to do to run a successful daycare! So now we have to manually re-enter every single appointment every single day (over 60 dogs/appointments per day). What used to take 15 minutes now takes over one hour. Now this week it suddenly is showing that customers have negative days so it is no longer alerting us that the customer has used up their package and are due for a new one! That is money out the door!! Also, basic things like viewing tickets used to be so easy and now you have to make numerous clicks just to get to what you want to view. Even though we just paid for an upgrade, we are researching other software companies and are willing to pay again for one that works. The stress of switching over to a new software program is worth not having to deal with the every day stress of 123 Pet! We have been using this software longer than their reps have worked there and know more about it than they do, so they're of no help. We do not recommend this product, look elsewhere! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DaySmart Pet:

Do not buy this product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DaySmart Pet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing is being solved and it is only creating more problems. Also, their customer service reps have clearly not had training in customer service. You will hang up even more frustrated than you already were. They are rude and have no understanding of how important this software is to your business. One of the managers actually uttered the words, "What is the big deal anyway?" Unacceptable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
