Default Tipping Groomers

Like in any service business tip accordingly as to how well you liked the job they did. Remember most groomers unless they own the business only get between 50-60% of what you are charged. The business gets the rest to cover ins. supplies and utilities etc. so figure if you pay $35 then the groomer usually only gets half. Unlike a hairdresser they can get but, deal with figgity pooches or ones that protest getting nail trims and having faces touched. A groomer cleans the eras and expresses their anal glands besides the shampoo cut and blow dry. Grooming school on an average costs 10K. Hope that helps.
I btw use the Groomers at The Village Veterinarian. After a bit of a turnaround they now have 2 great girls there that do a great job. I also use their great Vet services so it makes it very convenient.
