33. How can I manage aggressive or anxious pets in my facility?

34. How can I manage problematic or difficult clients in my pet daycare?


You can tag clients with colored flags. A small color indicator appears next to their name. For example: red = unpaid invoices, green = frequent no-shows or late arrivals, blue = VIP clients who receive special attention.
