It really depends on the dog groomer you are giving tips to. If it is someone you just met or if you have a bad experience, then it is not worth it. If it is someone you trust or if the service was great, then you can give whatever you think is appropriate. To figure out how much to tip, just calculate the cost of the pet service + tax and divide it by the cost of the regular service (if it is different). For example, a regular haircut costs around $20 and a dog haircut costs $35. The tax will be around 12% of your total. So your calculation would be $20 + tax + tip = $30 for a regular cut, and $35 for a dog cut.TIP: It’s always good to give more when service is exceptional or when you are giving something that isn’t necessarily needed like a bottle of water or something like that.
Do you tip the groomer if she is the owner?
If it’s your own home, no, you don’t. If I were to stay in someone’s home, I wouldn’t tip the housekeeper/cook/nanny/groomer, regardless of their employment status. The same goes for hotels and other service providers. However, if you are staying at a hotel or a friend’s home and their services are being provided for you, you are encouraged to tip the staff accordingly. It’s common practice to tip anyone providing personal assistance or service. However, it’s not obligatory and it is down to individual preference.
Do you tip your groomer at Petsmart?
I haven’t shopped here in a few years, but in my experience: No, no, no.I always tipped, and I always tipped generously.My (very mixed) experience with PetSmart groomers is that they’re all really goodbut that you don’t need to tip at all, because it’s included in the cost of the service. (In some cases, the price is explicitly listed as ‘plus tax.’)So: TIP YOUR GROOMER. If you don’t want to do that, give them a little extra so they can buy things they like (like treats and toys). But if you want to do that, please give them plenty of money so they can get things they like.
