Dog, cat, horse: whoever lives from and with animals has regulars, fixed appointments and packages. Saldiqo writes the invoices for classes, care and treatment, matches payments and records food and supplies as expenses.

What comes up for pet and animal businesses

Regulars and packages

Ten-session cards, monthly packages and fixed weekly slots are everyday business. Billing repeats, only the name of the animal changes.

Several services per animal

Training, grooming, boarding and accessory sales often sit on one invoice. Every line should be recognisable on its own.

A season with peaks

Holidays bring boarders, spring brings puppy classes. A lot is billed then, and payments must not get lost.

Supplies and food

Food, litter, care products and accessories come from a few suppliers with many receipts.

Frequently asked questions

Once they are registered, yes. The threshold is €15,600 over 12 months, or expected within 30 days. Services to businesses in other EU countries require registration from the first sale.
