My puppy is getting his first haircut on Friday and I was wondering if I should tip the groomer and how much? He's a cocker spaniel and her fee for grooming him is fifty bucks.

please tip the groomer. we have to put up with so much more than regular hairstylists (biting, scratching, barking...). a 10%-15% tip is just perfect. if you like the trim be sure to tell the groomer to they don't change anything around the next time.

Having owned 20 grooming shop's, it's a nice gesture to tip the washing person and the groomer a few bucks....most of my groomer's were paid a percentage, not hourly.....good luck...

As a former pet companion groomer, I was never tipped except at Christmas by my regular customers. Before being a groomer, I paid only the fee charged without a tip.
Good luck with fur baby's first hair cut.

You tip your hairstylist? Tip the groomer.
I normally tip based on how happy I am with the service. I had a new stylist give me highlights and a cut 2 months ago and I was so happy with it I get her a $25 tip. If you are happy with the dog's look, tip well. NEVER piss off a groomer.
My philosophy on hairstylists and groomers is to tip well, but they can make you/your dog look like **** if they want to.

It is a service, and the serivce industry is known for receiving TIPS to show extra gratitude. Some businesses refuse, but it is a nice gesture to offer five extra bucks if they do it well and in a timely fashion. I tried to tip my groomer and she wasn't allowed to accept it, but it deffinitely will earn you some brownie points... Happy New Year!

YES TIP THE GROOMER. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TIP THE GROOMER.
I am a groomer and yes we should be tipped. I worked the Saturday before Christmas and not one person tipped me. Stingy people.

I treat this the same as tipping a hairstylist. 10% to 15%, unless they are the salon owner, in which case, tipping is not necessary.
As someone who worked in the service industry for many years, I am so glad the thought actually occurred to you, though. :)
