In general, you should tip your groomer 15 to 20 percent of the service total. Appreciation tips are a token of gratitude and are whatever you can afford. Your groomer will sometimes throw in extra services at no charge, such as adding conditioner, brushing teeth or grinding nails.

If the pet groomer did a solid job, you should tip 15% - 20%. You can tip even more if you were really impressed with their service. PetSmart groomers earn a percentage of the total price you paid for the service (usually 40% - 50%). If your groomer did a good job, a tip shows them that you appreciate their hard work.

Pet salons and groomers make significant investments in high-quality tools and premium products. They continually advance their education, undergo training in animal behavior and prioritize thorough cleanliness between appointments to provide the best service for their clients.
