| Depending on if they do a good job or not I don't know but what is the standard for tipping someone isn't it 15% of the total????

| Last time I took Misha in, the groomer charged me 60. So I figured her tip was included. |

| I got charged like Can$35 plus taxes and tip it was like Can$40+. Now, I just do it on my own after watching the groomer do it twice. My skills are not like a groomer's yet of course but I am able to keep his coat neat and tidy and clip his nails while my hubby holds him. I also like to do it on my own because I will take the time to spoil him and play with him during his bathtime in the tub which he enjoys and it is just not the same with going to the groomers. Also, I make sure I rinse off all the shampoo from him and not have residue. I guess I feel its just not the same when you do it out of love for your furbaby.
