| Do you tip your groomer Hello everyone , this is something that has been on my mind and I wanted to ask ya'll for opinions. Max is my very first Furbaby so I'm really new to this whole thing about groomers. I wanted to know if ya'll tip your groomer when your baby gets groomed. Is there a rule for this? I did a search but didn't come up a thread that dealt with this topic. |

| I used to tip my groomer until her prices went up. I think she includes the tip for what I pay for the 3 kids. I took them last week & she charged me $160 for Misha, Piper & Max. I like her & her place. I feel the kids are real safe when leaving them. She only grooms small dogs, but I do feel she is way to high. I've taken them to a couple of other groomers and I didn't like their work. I keep her only because I trust her. Although every 6 weeks has cost me to start working again after being semi retired.

| Thank you for your quick replies. In regards to groomers at petsmart or petco are they still tipped the same or do you take a different approach or decision for them. I know they are employed by a big company so that is why I have this question when compared to small owned pet grooming salons.

| lol....Wow....I must be cheap....When I used to take my Poodle, Romeo, and Daughter's yorkie, Maddie to the groomer- I tipped $5 per pet.-making my total bill about $50. The groomer is a lady that groomed out of her home. This was in the country....And her other clients did not tip....She usually charged $20 per pet....Everytime I tipped, she got all flustered and kept saying, NO no no....You already paid me... I would continue to use her but she is now 50 minutes from me.....So I groom myself...
