| Do you tip your groomer I tip even if they keep my 7lb girl for 5 hours and never bother to call that she is ready. She is never in bad shape, I brush her everyday and keep her face clean.

| I used to take mine to the same groomer my mom has always used...she was WONDERFUL, very sweet, and my dogs all wanted to stay and play when I got there (always a good sign). I always tipped her $10-$20 depending on how much hair she took off. BUT she opened up a new shop and started getting TONS of new business, and she overbooked, forgot appointments, made mistakes on the dogs, etc. Then my mom's dog got an eye infection and food poisoning after staying with her for a day, and ALL my dogs got KENNEL COUGH and some sort of odd parasite. My mom and I were really disappointed, and I became paranoid. My mom still takes her dog to that lady because Teddie doesn't like anyone else. I tried a couple different groomer's but ended up ordering all the tools and doing it myself. I feel so much better doing it that way...now I know EXACTLY what's being done to my babies!! |

| As a former assistant groomer ( I was in training for a few months) I know that a lot of ppl will tip depending on the satisfaction they have with you. If your dog is happy, and looks good...and you have good customer relations you typically get a descent tip. Now, for my dogs, if I were to take them to a groomers then I would tip if they gave me all of the above, Good service, a happy dog, and a few other things, if not...then they will get a very low tip or none at all...

| Should you tip when the groomer is the owner too? She charges $30.00 for one dog. I have two to get groomed. I am on a very tight fixed income, so coming up with $60.00 is alot of money. Since she gets all the money she makes from the dogs she grooms, do I still tip? I don't mean to sound like a cheapskate, but I always wondered. If I am still supposed to tip I will next time. Let me know what you all think. Thanks ...... |

| I tip$10-20 depending on what Aria gets done. Now that I have two it'll probably be at least $20. We also get her a gift for the holidays. She does a great job and Aria loves her, so it's worth it!

| Tink goes to Petsmart (for now). I only tip $5 cause the bill is only $20 and I rarely can get the same groomer so there's no rapport built. I'm thinking about getting a table and harness to do it myself. We'll see. |
