- The problem
- The record has to be about the animal: name, breed, coat type, grooming interval, temperament notes, vaccination expiry and which vet. A blank sub-account holds none of it, so every operator invents a field set and none of them match.
- Once it is loaded
- Pet name, breed, size band, coat type, grooming interval in weeks, temperament and handling notes, vaccination expiry, vet details and boarding history sit on the record, which is what lets a reminder use the dog name and the right date.
- How it pays back
- If a multi-pet household breaks a flat contact model and fixing that later costs a day per account, designing it once across the portfolio saves it repeatedly, and the same reporting then works whether the client grooms or boards.
