Question 1

How fast does Mikla answer a booking request?

Accepted Answer

Under a minute, whatever time the message lands. Mikla is on the phone, your Google Business Profile, website forms, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, Yelp, and email. An owner ringing round for a slot this week takes the first shop that picks up.

Question 2

Can Mikla price by breed and coat?

Accepted Answer

It quotes from the price list you give it. Breed, weight, and coat type do the work there. A double coat, a doodle, and a short-haired terrier land on different lines. Anything that needs a groomer to see the dog first is flagged as an estimate.

Question 3

What if the coat is worse than the owner described?

Accepted Answer

That is normal, so Mikla asks up front. It asks about the last appointment, brushing at home, and any matting. It also warns that a badly matted coat may mean a shorter cut. Your groomer still makes the final call on the table, and nobody is surprised at the counter.

Question 4

Does it ask for vaccination records?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at booking rather than at the door. Mikla explains what you require before a first visit and asks the owner to send it across. It reminds them the day before. Nobody drives over with a nervous dog only to be turned away.

Question 5

Can it book the right groomer for the dog?

Accepted Answer

Each groomer has breeds and services they take and a block length that suits them. Mikla books inside those rules. A heavy de-shed does not land in a half-hour slot, and an anxious senior goes to the person on your team who is patient with them.

Question 6

What does Mikla do about no-shows?

Accepted Answer

A no-show costs a whole block that you cannot resell on the day. Mikla confirms on the channel the owner actually reads. If somebody cannot make it, it offers another time instead of a dead end. Cancelled slots go out to your waiting list.

Question 7

Will it rebook our regulars on their cycle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this is where most shops leak money quietly. Mikla invites every regular back on their own six or eight week cycle. It offers the times their usual groomer has free, so the standing slot stops drifting to ten weeks.

Question 8

Owners send us photos on Instagram. Can Mikla handle that?

Accepted Answer

It reads the message that comes with the photo and answers what the owner asked about the coat or the service. Then it offers two openings. The thread and the picture go to your groomer with the booking.

Question 9

Does it work with the booking software we already use?

Accepted Answer

Mikla books into the calendar your groomers already look at, with the pet notes attached. Tell us what you use on the demo and we will confirm exactly how the handoff works.
