Should i tip dog groomers

So I always over tip. You can tell when you get your dog if they were happy or not. I had a mobile groomer with truck do my dog. When I went in the truck my dog flew to me like get me out of here.

The bad mobile groomer gave him a bad cut the business gave me a refund. If you have a great groomer keep them. I had many clients that would save the tips all year and place them in a Christmas card so no one was wiser.

I typically tip waitstaff and those who are paid below minimum wage 15 to 20 percent. I think a tip would partially depend on what the groomer is charging in the first place. There is quite a variation from shop to shop.

If I feel like I am getting a bit ripped off in the first place, the tip will be lower. My hubby and I were just talking about this yesterday. I have mixed feelings bc food servers make so little so they need to receive tips to come close to making a livable wage.

Why tip everyone the same we tip them? She is probably getting an average of 6 dogs done in 4 hours. I recently changed my 2 toy poodles groomer.

She had lost my number and I gave her an extra hour before I went to pick them up at the estimated time she had given me. Needless to say I was slightly concerned about my boys but I was very calm about it and paid the amount she asked for but did not add any tip.

I am normally an over tipper. I feel it better to over tip my groomer than anyone else really. After all they are my loved ones and I want kind hands only to touch them! I even thought about bringing her a card with a little money before they need to go back to her.

She was really nice and did a great job! I want to continue using her services. She had lost my number. What should I do?? You always tip your groomer.

Sizzler sharpening blade sharpening replacing blades replacing combs brushes. Not to mention the the struggle to keep your dog calm and safe during the grooming process.

We trim their faces with sharp objects clean their feet brush their hair remove matting remove bugs clean poop off their butts. We get bit scratched drooled on pooped on hair in our lungs wet from bathing in grown hair in our skin. I personally let my grooming dogs play give them water blankets and loads of attention.

You might expect people with more wealth to tip more and those with less to tip less. Easy, just show us some love and appreciation. It can be as simple as tagging us in a picture of your groomed dog on Facebook. Or sharing our business page with your friends. In fact, I have clients that receive life-long super discounts because they brought in so many new faces. The truth is an ungroomed dog can be a big health risk unto itself.

Matting will continue to tighten overtime, pulling on the skin and leading severe skin bruising or lesions. Unkempt dogs will have difficulty going potty, and will lead to a buildup of bacteria or disease. Not to mention the buildup of oils and dirt on the surface of the skin will deteriorate their overall health.

Not being able to afford a tip is one thing, but not grooming your pup is going to cost you financially and emotionally in the long run. You may also want to consider learning to groom yourself. And, tipping can help ensure your groomer wants your business and makes efforts to accommodate you in her schedule.

Tipping the owner's not necessary if the owner didn't groom your dog. In some circumstances it is perfectly acceptable to skip the tip. If a business states that groomers do not accept tips, the owner will abide by the rule. Tips are for traditional purchase of a service at a location that allows employees to accept tips.

They'll appreciate it and your pup may even become one of their favorite canine clients. By Jennifer Nelson August 13, Save FB Tweet More. Dog Groomer. Credit: Getty Images.
