The extra $15 is probably to help with the cost of Insurance, Truck Payment, Maintenance, Gas, Travel Time and convenience to their customers. For me personally, it worked out a whole lot better to have the Groomer come to the house and pay the extra and tip the nice lady because I watched her handle our boy just like either of us would or better. I would tip. Just give what you feel is correct. Nobody can tell you how much is correct for you. We gave between $10 & $20 extra. He was a big dog, around 95 lbs.
Not tipping the owner is Old School. I asked this question of my oldest son and he said BLTW. Everybody started laughing except me because I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. It meant Break Loose Tight Wad.
I was only a question I take care of those who take care of me properly. Never a show-off.
