Q: How much do you tip the dog groomer?

Typically, you should tip your dog groomer 15 to 20 percent of the service total to show your appreciation for a good job. Tips should be whatever you can afford and are a token of you gratefulness. It's quite common for your groomer to give you extra services at no charge, such as teeth brushing or nail trimming. Keep all this in mind when considering how much to tip. Additionally, there are certain circumstances when you should the tip the groomer a bit more. Here's a few examples of when you should tip the groomer extra: If your dog bites or scratches the groomer. Tipping big will help here. If your dog was extremely dirty and gross—especially with dog poo or mud matted to their hinds. If your dog had extreme matting or shedding—this creates extra work for your groomer. If your elderly dog is disabled and can't stand for grooming and needs extra support.

Your Dog Grooming questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

What is dog grooming?

Whether you love to know your dog is clean or you’re gearing up for family photos with him or her, a dog grooming salon can take care of everything. From baths to brushing, to even painting your dog’s nails, you can expect to pay a starting price of about $40 for a full grooming service (for a small dog). Grooming salons will mostly offer a basic package deal which can include a bath, trimmed nails, and cleaned ears. Dog grooming salons give special care to elderly dogs who might need to take frequent potty breaks or rests between services.

How much does dog grooming cost?

The price of dog grooming starts around $40 for a full grooming service for a small dog, and around $75 for a large dog. If you have more than one, prices can be significantly lower for the second and third dog.

Donna B.

She was very professional. Did an excellent job grooming her and cutting her nails. She was very gentle with my huge cat. Took her time and was really patient. I'm going to ask her to come back to do grooming and nails again, 2-3 months, when it's time. I'm going to recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you so much for sending this kind, gentle, well trained woman. She knew what she was doing.

We are so glad we decided to go with Steve and Domestic Dog Training for our 2 year old dog, Maizie!! We chose to do a three week training course and Maizie is a new dog!! She is so much more obedient and less fearful than before she worked with Steve. Our ultimate goal is to be able to take her on off-leash adventures and Steve has set us up on that path! He’s so approachable and responsive and kept us updated with pictures and videos during her stay. He has also been incredibly helpful with follow up after her training with phone calls, FaceTime, and in person meetings to ensure we’re continuing her learning! I’ve already sent a few more dogs to Steve, and will continue to recommend him to anyone who thinks they may need it!!! Thanks again Steve for all your hard work!!!!

Melissa worked with my dog for quite awhile he has behavior issues and was very afraid and because of that aggressive towards anyone . Melissa never gave up on my boy.

Melissa is just starting out but she is by far the person you want for your dog. She has a way with dogs they u def stand her and trust her and she does the same with the
