Do you tip your groomer?

I just got Joey groomed and b/c we're in NYC I paid A LOT and I didn't tip the guy, but then I overheard him talking about how someone had left him a $25 tip..I never even thought to tip him b/c I was so appalled at the general cost of the grooming. Do you tip?

Nope. I only did once and that was because Molly almost bite the woman's fingers off. Chat Icon

Re: Do you tip your groomer?

My groomer is the owner of the place and it is pretty expensive to get Cooper cut and cleaned - Cooper is a very easy dog - I don't tip the groomer. Never even crossed my mind.

I always tip.. like 15-20 dollars. They work hard and it isn't easy grooming a pet.

Re: Do you tip your groomer?

Damn - ok - now I know for the future. I know that grooming any pet isn't easy but grooming Molly is probably THAT much worse.

Thanks for posting this question!

Re: Do you tip your groomer?

I do- but I have persian cats that get the Lion Cut every summer. She says that my babies are very good, but I'm sure they still give her the stink eye (and claws)- so I give her 20%.

Of course!! I am really picky and tried a number of groomers before I found one that met my standards. I tip her very well and she is great with my doggie Chat Icon

Re: Do you tip your groomer?

Yes. He happens to be my uncle, but I still tip him $10 for a $40 grooming. Emmie goes about once a month and he only charges me about 6 months out of the year. So, when he doesn't charge me, I give him $20.

I just feel so bad for the freebees.
