How Much Should You Tip a Dog Groomer?

Money tip jar

In General, tipping your groomer 15 to 20 percent of the service is best. Gratitude tips are a token of gratefulness and are whatever you can afford. Your groomer may add in extra services at no charge. If your groomer always does fantastic grooms and squeezes your pet in for an appointment. Take all of this into consideration, as well as particular circumstances, when assessing how much to tip.

How much to tip a mobile dog groomer?

Pet owners tend to tip their mobile groomer if the charges are reasonable. Don’t tip if the costs are already high enough.

Now, do you tip a mobile groomer who owns their own business? Since most mobile groomers own the business, most people oppose tipping them. Again, if the groomer is doing a fantastic job and isn’t charging much for it, we see no reason you shouldn’t tip him. Do what feels right.

Do you tip dog groomers at PetSmart?

A strong yes! As groomers receive an hourly rate and up to 50% commission from each grooming session, a 20% tip can go a long way in supporting them financially.

Christmas tip for dog groomer?

It's expected to tip groomers for good service year-round — usually 15 or 20% of the cost of each groom. However, around the holidays, some clients will double or triple that amount to show their groomer some added gratefulness.
