Is it rude not to tip a dog groomer? ›

You should tip your groomer. If not every time, then occasionally or when you can afford it. At the very least, you should tip your groomer once a year during the holidays. Think about all the hard work they put in to keep your pooch smelling and looking fabulous.

Here are some common percentages to keep in mind: A tip of 15% of the total bill before taxes signals a job well done. A tip of 20% is common for excellent service. For a subpar job, 10% is enough to let astute professionals know they have to up their game.

15-20% is considered a standard tip for a dog groomer.

The average dog grooming session costs about $80. At a typical 15-20%, that comes out to $12-16 a session. If you want to tip a little more or less than that it's okay, but aim for at least 15% if you can.

According to etiquette experts, the industry standard for tipping service professionals is 15% to 20% of the bill, so for dog groomers that would work out to $7.50 to $15.

Give him plenty of praise and treats to reward him for getting it right. Turn the clippers on if you are using them and let your pup get used to the noise. If you are using shears, hold them up where your pup can see and sniff at them. Once he is used to it, you should be able to finish grooming your pup.

The grooming noose is extra handy; it comes attached to the tall metal bar shaped like an upside-down L, It restrains the dog around his neck, and keeps him still on the table..

How do groomers get dogs so clean? ›

ever wondered how groomers make dogs so soft? Well, they use gentle shampoos and conditioners that are made just for dogs. After a good bath, they brush out any tangles and mats, then blow-dry the fur on a low heat setting to fluff it up. Sometimes they use special finishing products to add extra softness and shine.

On average, a dog grooming session will cost between $30-$90, depending on a few different factors like the size of the dog and the type of breed and fur it has.

Dogs with long, thick fur may need to be groomed every 4-6 weeks, while dogs with short or fine hair may only need to go every 8-12 weeks. It's important to keep up with your dog's grooming program as if left too long, their hair may become matted and cause irritation or infection and need to be shaven.

Again, it's not necessary to tip your dog groomer, but it is appreciated. It all comes down to whether or not you wish to tip them, and if so, how much you are willing to give them.

If the pet groomer did a solid job, you should tip 15% - 20%. You can tip even more if you were really impressed with their service. PetSmart groomers earn a percentage of the total price you paid for the service (usually 40% - 50%). If your groomer did a good job, a tip shows them that you appreciate their hard work.

That said, a standard tip is 20 percent. If your pup is looking so pretty you can't keep your eyes off her, your groomer went above and beyond with the special touches, or did well with a special circ*mstance pup (such as someone challenging to groom), consider saying so with a larger tip. So yes, you should tip them.

I would. Tipping is suggested but never expected so you do you. I own my own business out of my house, and I do appreciate tips because they're just for me. I'm trying to grow my business, so I only actually take home about 30% of the money I make from grooming.

"Tip 20% on the true total cost of the service, not the discounted cost," Schweitzer says. "The hairdresser did the same amount of work, so they deserve the same amount of tip."
