Post the real grooming transformations and boarding days, not stock photos.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

Sales and marketing for pet service businesses, the overview.

Last updated 5 Oct 2026.

For pet service businesses

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Before and after grooming posts outperform announcements”

    A real transformation photo is shared and commented on far more than a post about a new service or offer.

  • “Boarding day updates reassure parents mid-stay and future ones”

    A short update posted during a pet's boarding stay reassures the current parent and reaches future ones browsing the page.

  • “Comments need a fast, warm reply”

    A question left unanswered in the comments about safety or pricing reads as neglect to anyone else reading it.

What we do

What we deliver for pet service businesses.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Before and after grooming content series

    A running series of real transformation photos from actual grooming appointments, in place of announcement or offer posts.

    Result: More people share and comment, putting the business in front of new parents.

  2. Boarding day update posts

    Short updates posted during real boarding stays, showing the pet settled in and cared for.

    Result: The current parent worries less, and a future one sees what a stay looks like.

  3. Comment reply routine

    A standing routine to answer safety or pricing questions left in comments quickly, rather than leaving them unanswered.

    Result: An unanswered comment no longer reads as neglect.

  4. Staff introduction content

    Short posts introducing the actual groomers and trainers a parent will meet, building familiarity before the first visit.

    Result: A parent recognises a familiar face when they arrive.

  5. Posting calendar built from real activity

    A steady schedule drawn from actual bookings and stays that week, instead of generic filler content.

    Result: Every post has something real behind it worth showing.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Platform for this buyer

Where pet parents look for care, and what a pet business should post.

Instagram reels of the day
Film a bath, a play session or a walk, with the pet's name and the staff member handling it. End with one action: message to book a groom or to ask about boarding dates.
WhatsApp Status for existing pet parents
Post photographs of boarders enjoying their day, with the owner's consent, and note which grooming slots are open. Parents of boarders check Status more than anything else.
Facebook and housing society groups
Answer a question about a puppy's first groom or travel plans, and post your service area. Pet parents in a society ask each other whom they trust.
Google Business Profile photographs
Add the grooming room, the kennels or play area and the cleaning routine as they really are. A parent comparing boarding centres checks cleanliness first.
What not to post
Do not post a pet that was upset or hurt, another person's pet without permission or health claims such as treating a skin condition. Send medical questions to the vet.

Who it is for

This is written for these pet service businesses.

  • Dog grooming salons
  • Pet boarding and daycare centres
  • Pet training academies
  • Mobile grooming services
  • Veterinary clinics offering allied services
  • Pet taxi and transport services
  • Multi-service pet care centres
  • Cattery and exotic pet boarding

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • No one has time to reply to comments and messages the same day, and an unanswered question is worse than a quiet account.
  • You have no permission practice for photographing customers' pets, so there is nothing safe to post yet.

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Confirm audience, platforms and access

    We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.

  2. 2

    Review the current presence

    We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.

  3. 3

    Build the calendar

    Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.

  4. 4

    Create, approve and publish

    Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.

  5. 5

    Record enquiries and adjust

    Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Which platform matters most?
Instagram for grooming and boarding content, alongside the Google Business Profile most enquiries still come through.
How often should we post?
A steady few posts a week built from real activity works better than an irregular, generic schedule.
Can we post a customer's pet without asking?
Ask first, and keep it in writing, such as a line on the booking form. A pet's photograph shows its owner's home and habits, and some owners are private. A permission line lets you post with confidence and take a picture down if the owner changes their mind.
Should staff introductions name the groomers?
Use first names and a short line on experience, with the person's agreement. Parents trust a named handler. If a staff member leaves, remove them from pinned posts and highlights so parents do not ask for someone who is no longer there.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
