Tip Your Groomer More in Special Circumstances
While 15-25% is a good amount to tip, there are situations in which you may want to tip more.
Once again, these situations don’t require you to tip more. You are just tipping more to show your appreciation for the groomer for handling that situation. The following are some of the situations where tipping more is expected.
How Much Should You Tip a Groomer?
Most pet owners tip their dog groomers anything between 15 and 25% of the total bill.
The beauty of tipping is that there is no right or wrong way to do it. The same is true for the amount you tip. So, you can tip your groomers a free lunch or a thousand dollars; everything depends on you.
That said, having a fixed percentage in mind saves us from a lot of guesswork. Therefore, most people tip 15-25%. This is just a rough number so you can deviate from it quite a bit. And there are quite a few reasons why you will want to deviate from this number. First up, tipping is a form of appreciation. So, the better the job the more you should tip.
Secondly, tipping boosts the morale of the groomer. When you tip a groomer for a good job, he will ensure he does an even better job the next time around. This ultimately benefits you because the crisper your pet looks the happier you’ll be.
Lastly, while tipping should be preferred, there are situations where you may not want to tip. For instance, if the groomer does a bad job then there is no reason for you to tip. Not tipping after a bad job is preferred since it communicates your feedback to the groomer. Then if the groomer is perceptive aka smart, he will take this feedback to heart and improve. In short, tip 15-25% more often than not.
Should I tip my dog groomer?
Let’s start with the easy one. Should you tip?
No pressure, it’s totally up to you.
In my experience as a groomer: tipping isn’t expected (but always appreciated).
I understand people have different budgets and different takes on the tipping system in general.
The truth is dog grooming isn’t cheap for a lot of people. But it’s necessary. I would rather have you as a regular client who doesn’t tip than a one-time client that feels obligated to spend extra.
How Much to Tip a Dog Groomer and Why You Should
Rules for tipping vary from industry to industry. Tips offered to the barista who makes your coffee, for example, may not match up to the tips you would give a server or hair stylist. When it comes to dog grooming, tipping is “traditionally” a thing a customer does, though exceptions exist. It all depends on your groomer, the business and your happiness with the work.

With food service, a 15 percent tip is still standard, 20 percent normally considered a good tip. But a standard percentage for services like dog grooming are harder to find. Groomers who dont work for themselves generally do not make the full price of the groom back in compensation, so a small tip of a few bucks is a nice way to show your appreciation for the work. An extra $5 on a $50 cut, though the percentage seems smaller, is not a bad tip. Think of it this way: $3 to $5 is an okay tip, while $10 on a $50 cut would indicate your appreciation for exceptional work or for accommodating your preferences and your dogs special needs. A tip of 15 percent is a solid standard for grooming services.

It is easy to dismiss the issue of tipping if the groomer in question happens to own the facility. Since he or she theoretically receives all the profits generated by the shop, it can seem unnecessary to tip. But go ahead. Tipping is a measure of showing your satisfaction with the work performed, and owners should not be separated from other groomers. If you like the work done, tipping the owner is perfectly acceptable. And, tipping can help ensure your groomer wants your business and makes efforts to accommodate you in her schedule. Tipping the owners not necessary if the owner didnt groom your dog.

In some circumstances it is perfectly acceptable to skip the tip. If a business states that groomers do not accept tips, the owner will abide by the rule. Additionally, if you are trading something for the service or have another deal worked out with the groomer/owner, it may be okay to hold back on tipping. Tips are for traditional purchase of a service at a location that allows employees to accept tips.

If you use the same groomer several times a month, you may want to consider a holiday bonus in addition to your normal tips. How much you give is up to you, but it is not uncommon for hair stylists, dog walkers, groomers, maids and other service professionals to receive holiday bonuses from their clients. Big picture: Whether or not you offer a bonus, or you tip at all, is entirely up to you; but greasing the wheels never hurts anything but your change purse.
