About

eTailPet is a comprehensive, all-in-one point-of-sale (POS) solution specifically designed for independent and locally-owned pet stores. Unlike generic retail software, eTailPet was built from the ground up to address the unique needs of pet retail businesses — from managing a vast product catalog to scheduling grooming appointments and running customer loyalty programs. At its core, eTailPet provides a robust in-store POS system that handles sales, inventory tracking, and payment processing. Its catalog includes over 160,000 pet products, sourced directly from manufacturers with up-to-date images and descriptions, making ordering decisions fast and informed. Inventory is automatically synced between physical and online stores, eliminating stock discrepancies. eTailPet also includes built-in e-commerce functionality, enabling store owners to launch and manage a professional online storefront without third-party tools. The platform features pet service scheduling for grooming and other appointments, memberships and subscriptions management, and a tight integration with Astro Loyalty for building customer reward programs. Marketing tools help independent pet stores compete with big-box retailers and online giants like Chewy. The platform is tailored to both established traditional pet stores and up-and-coming entrepreneurs entering the pet retail space. Praised by customers for its intuitive interface, responsive support team, and willingness to incorporate user feature requests, eTailPet is a trusted all-in-one solution for the independent pet store industry.
