I had a difficult, huge doodle who the groomer had to pick up and put in his mobile grooming van.
I gave huge tips for that, due to the extra effort required and it also usually took about 90 mins


This is how you get repeat appointments with good groomers.

It doesn't all go to the groomer. Supplies cost money, maintenance on clippers costs money, overhead for wherever your groomer grooms costs money, holding space (ideally with supervision) for pets costs money, training costs money, taxes take some of that money...

If you think you can pick up a pair of clippers and do it for $300, go for it. You don't groom your pet. There's a reason. Someone with experience does that for you, and they do a good job. If you're going somewhere like a petsmart/petco, they are NOT getting paid $300/hr.

If you can afford a pet, you can afford a tip. Don't be cheap.

Standard process, well-behaved dog, 20%.

Complicated/elaborate/intricate clip/styling, 25%-30%, more if you want a regular groomer who will make regular time for your pet.

And if your pet isn't well-behaved, you'd better learn how to groom them for yourself.

100% will go to employee (she doesn’t own the business).

She did a good job/ met expectations

Job took 30 minutes

Not an unusually challenging case, ie animal was chill

The price of service per the company is $145

I am inclined to tip 2O% ($30). Fair?
