Built for dog groomers and pet salons
Dog Grooming Waiver Software for Salons and Mobile Groomers
SignSend lets a grooming salon or mobile groomer send its own release of liability, vet care authorization and late pickup terms for electronic signature, and get them back signed before the dog is dropped off. Upload the forms you already use, add the owner, and they sign from their phone with a dated record you can pull up if there is ever a dispute. One flat rate, so a full week of appointments costs the same as a slow one.
Try one document to see it work, then $49 a month or $288 a year billed yearly for up to 3 people.

Signer, time, and IP on every form
SignSend is dog grooming waiver software for salons that want a signed, dated release on file for every pet before the clippers come out. Upload your waiver once, send it to the owner by text or email, or load it on the front desk tablet, and each person signs on their phone in under a minute. The signed PDF is stored with the time, the signer and the IP address, so you can find it later by owner name.
It costs $49 a month on Pro ($288 a year billed yearly) for up to 3 people, with no charge per form. That is the whole price whether you groom ten dogs a week or sixty.
Can a dog groomer use electronic signatures on a release?
Yes. Electronic signatures are valid for grooming releases and authorizations under the ESIGN Act and UETA, as long as the owner intends to sign, agrees to do it electronically, and you keep the signed record. The signed PDF and its audit trail show who signed, when, and from what address.
A signed form does not make every liability claim go away. Whether a release holds up depends on your state's law and your wording, so have your attorney or insurer approve the form you upload. SignSend delivers and records the signature. It does not write or review your legal terms, and it does not check who the signer is beyond the link you sent.
What should a dog grooming waiver cover?
Most salons cover the same ground: the owner's name and contact details, the pet's age, breed and known health conditions, any history of biting or aggression, and an acknowledgment that matted coats may need to be shaved short for the dog's comfort and that nicks, razor burn or stress can happen even with careful handling.
Then come the business terms: authorization to seek emergency veterinary care at the owner's cost if the dog is hurt or becomes ill, proof of current vaccinations, the right to stop or refuse a groom, late pickup and abandonment fees, cancellation and no-show policy, and a photo release if you post finished dogs. Put them all in one PDF and upload it in your own words.
How much does grooming waiver software cost?
SignSend Pro is $49 a month, or $288 a year billed yearly, for up to 3 people sending unlimited documents. Business is $99 a month or $588 a year billed yearly for up to 10 people. You can send one document free to see how it works before you pay.
Because nothing is billed per form, the price does not move with your appointment count. A salon with 150 releases a month pays the same as one with 20.
Everything a grooming salon needs to get an owner signed
Built around how a salon books and runs a day, from the first appointment to the pickup.
Send the release before drop-off
Text or email the signing link when the appointment is booked. The owner reads the release at home, signs on a phone, and arrives cleared, so the drop-off takes a minute instead of a clipboard.
Your own release wording
Upload the PDF your salon and insurer already approved, up to 20MB. SignSend sends it as written and adds the signature block.
A dated record per pet
Every signed form carries the owner's name, the time and the IP address. If someone disputes a shave-down or a vet bill, you open the signed copy instead of searching a drawer.
Works for mobile groomers
Mobile vans have no counter and no printer. Send the link from your phone on the way to the appointment and the owner signs before you unload.
One flat rate
No per-form fee and no per-groomer meter inside the 3-person Pro plan. Business covers up to 10 people and adds bulk send.
Reminders for slow signers
If an owner has not signed the day before, send a reminder from the same screen instead of discovering it at the door.
How to get a dog grooming waiver signed
From a texted link to a signed, dated PDF in a few minutes.
01
Upload your grooming release
Drag in your waiver, vet care authorization and late pickup terms as a PDF, up to 20MB. Use the form your salon and insurer already approved.
02
Add the owner
Enter the owner's name and mobile number or email. Send it to one person, or to a short list of regulars.
03
The owner signs on their phone
They tap the link, read the form, and sign with a finger. No app, no account.
04
Keep the signed copy
The finished PDF with its audit trail lands in your document list, ready to search by owner or date.
SignSend vs paper forms and grooming management apps
A focused signing tool, not another system to move your whole salon into.
| What you are comparing | SignSend | Paper and grooming suites |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | One free document, then $49/mo flat Pro | Paper is cheap per sheet; suites usually bill monthly per salon or per groomer |
| What it is | Document signing with an audit trail | Suites add booking, reminders, payments and pet records |
| Your own release wording | Yes, upload any PDF | Paper yes; suites often use their own form builder |
| Finding a pet's release later | Search your document list | A filing cabinet, or the suite's client record |
| Signed before arrival | Yes, from a link | No for paper; depends on the suite |
| Per-form fees | None | Varies by product |
| Where a suite wins | It does not book appointments or take payments | If you want booking and payments in one system, a suite does that and SignSend does not |

Who uses SignSend in a grooming business
Grooming salons and pet spas
Send the release with the booking confirmation so every dog is cleared before the owner walks in, and the front desk stays on the phones instead of the paperwork.
Mobile groomers
Text the link from the van. The owner signs on their porch or ahead of time, and you have the record before the first clip.
Groomers who rent a suite or chair
Each groomer sends their own forms from one shared plan, with every signed copy kept in one searchable list.
Pet boarding and daycare with grooming
Add the grooming release to the same PDF packet as your boarding agreement so one signature covers both.
