Shape the Future of Pet Care Software

We're inviting a select group of real pet care facilities to help build Barklytic before we launch publicly. You get early access and Founding pricing. We get real operators who tell us the truth.

What you get as a founding facility

This isn't a beta test β€” it's a partnership.

πŸ”’

Founding Discount and Price Lock

50% off your first 6 months, then 20% off while you stay a Founding Facility. Price Lock keeps your plan prices at today's rates.

🎯

Shape the Roadmap

Advisory board calls throughout the program β€” monthly during the beta period, quarterly after launch. Your feedback directly decides what we build next.

🀝

White-Glove Onboarding

We personally configure Barklytic to match your exact services, pricing, and workflows. Full setup included β€” you don't figure it out alone.

🐾

Founding Facility Badge

Displayed on your owner portal and Barklytic profile. Recognized as a founding member of the platform you helped build.

πŸ“ž

Direct Access to Our Founders

A dedicated email address and direct phone access to the founding team. No support tickets, no waiting in queue β€” real conversations with the people building the platform.

βœ…

Everything Included

Every plan includes boarding, daycare, grooming and training, unlimited staff and the staff mobile app. Your Founding discount also applies to add-ons.

FOUNDING FACILITIES

Your founding pricing

You get the same plans as everyone else, at a discount no later customer will get.

During beta: free, in your own demo environment. No credit card.

YOUR FIRST 6 MONTHS

50% off

Half price on your plan and add-ons for your first six months on Barklytic.

AFTER THAT

20% off

For as long as you stay a Founding Facility. It belongs to your business, so it stays even if owners or managers change.

PRICE LOCK

Locked

Your plan prices stay at today's rates even if we raise prices for new customers later.

What that looks like each month
PLANSTANDARD PRICEFIRST 6 MONTHSAFTER THAT
Starter Β· sales up to $10,000$75$37.50$60

Add-ons are discounted too. Scout, the branded app and SMS get your founding discount. SMS text packs are always full price.

New locations. Locations you open later get the ongoing 20% off from day one.

Keeping your status. Founding status ends if you cancel or your account is suspended for non-payment.

0% of your sales. Like every Barklytic customer, you pay only the monthly subscription. Card processing fees are separate.

🎁

When you go live β€” your founding perks begin

When your facility moves to its paid plan, these perks apply while you stay a Founding Facility.

Price Lock

⚑

Priority access to new features

You get first access to every major feature release before it rolls out to the general customer base.

Who we're looking for

We're not looking for the biggest facility β€” we're looking for operators who care deeply about how their facility runs and aren't afraid to tell us when something doesn't work.

  • Running at least one active service (boarding, daycare, grooming, or training)
  • Willing to use Barklytic as your primary management platform
  • Open to monthly advisory calls during beta, quarterly after launch
  • Comfortable sharing honest, direct opinions β€” even the bad ones
  • Located in the United States

β€œ

We built Barklytic because we couldn't find a platform that actually understood how a real pet care facility operates. We want founding facilities who've felt the same frustration β€” because they're the ones who'll help us build the right thing.”

Doggie Den Inn β€” our first founding facility β€” is already live on Barklytic.
