for those who don't tip the owner of the shop i give you something to consider:
In the shop i just started grooming at we pool our tips. two groomers, and a bather split all the tips from the day. i know of a lot of shops that do this. So if you do not tip the owner just because she owns the shop you are also not tipping the bather/dryer, or the other groomer who may have helped in some way.
also some shops have a head groomer or shop manager who takes the dog in. you may think that this is the person grooming your dog, but it may not be. make sure you know who is actually grooming your dog.
If the shop you go to just has the one groomer and no other help then that's a different story.
Oh and before i became a groomer i always tipped $10, same as i do for my own hair stylist.
