| Should I Tip the Groomer? My baby is going to the groomer for the first time tomorrow. Is it customary to tip the groomer? (The groomer is in a shop, not a mobile groomer.) Thanks for your input. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | If the groomer is an employee then I would give a tip. If the groomer is the shop owner, no I don't tip.

| I tip my groomer as well even she is a shop owner. She does an amazing job and she gives me discount if I only need trim or something. (I go there sometime just to trim her butt hair!!) |

| Ive always went with the fact that you are paying them to begin with so what is the point of tips. im paying 50 bucks to groom so i see no reason why i should pay more money just because it looks good because its supposed to look good. But then again, im a guy and our brains all are messed up. |

| I always tip and she is the owner and the only person there. My hairdresser gets a tip and I figure it is the same thing. The first time I tipped my new groomer she was surprised and asked what the extra was for. It kinda made me wonder if I was wrong to do it even though she was thankful.

| I go to a small shop, 2 girls who run/own it. They are great, super friendly with Alphy and was wonderful with Abby. Being that they are small the aren't taking anymore new clients and always fit me in whenever I call even though they are a few weeks out and I'm guessing I get great service and extra care because I do tip them and well. I'm always very pleased with how Alphy comes out and I think it's appropriate to show appreciation and again, if you treat them well, they will treat you well.

| I tip my groomer $5 each dog. If I have extra money, I tip extra then. They are WONDERFUL with my girls and treat them like the babies that they are, and the one lady that runs the place always feeds them chicken and rice for lunch. She knows that they're small and get hungry quickly, and she brings extra for them when she knows they're coming, since she brings her Maltese to work and brings her lunch. You just can't BUY that kind of attention and love. I like to show my appreciation Yes, you're paying for a service, however groomers don't make a whole lot of money, so tips help them out, and it's only a few bucks to me For the holidays, I normally tip $20 per dog.
