Dog groomer poll
I'm taking one of my ultra furry dogs (she's a husky) to the groomer tomorrow. I started wondering a few things and I figured I would post a poll on here. Seems like there are alot of pet parents on this board.
How often does your fur baby go to the groomer?
Does your fur baby love or hate the groomer?
Do you tip? if so, how much?
Do you give an extra tip around holiday time?
Re: Dog groomer poll
Does your fur baby love or hate the groomer? Hate. Hate. Hate.
Do you tip? if so, how much? Not consistently- $2-3 if I do
Do you give an extra tip around holiday time? No
Does your fur baby love or hate the groomer? She loves the groomer but hates actually getting groomed. She is exhausted once she gets home.
Do you tip? if so, how much? I usually give about 15 -20% depending on how furry she is.
Do you give an extra tip around holiday time? I didn't last year since we were tight financially (we got married last year). But I did the year before and I'm thinking about giving something this year, but maybe not money. I'm thinking I'll bake her something.
probably TMI but... we do that too but it's almost impossible to cut Simon's nails ourselves and he usually pees on himself when he gets them cut so I just have him bathed at the same time.
He rolls in stinky stuff a lot so he gets thrown in the tub quite a bit.
Does your fur baby love or hate the groomer? I can't really tell. I think he hates it based on how much he hates it when I try to do the stuff myself (he literally screams for me not to cut his nails) and the fact that he sh*ts on the goomer's floor when I drop him off. But when I pick him up, he's shaking all over and full of energy- so I can't tell if that's fear or excitement. He does love all the attention he gets from looking and smelling so good after!
Do you tip? if so, how much? No...I didn't know I was supposed to...oops!
Do you give an extra tip around holiday time? I might now!
We have one of those nail filer things. Every now and then we'll take them to the vet to get them cut though.
He is sooooo much better without me present to do his nails. No matter what. The vet/ groomer usually doesn't have problems with him but every now and again he can be horrible. Even if we had a drummel, he doesn't let us touch his paws!
Oh believe me, it's still a fight to the death to get them to let us do it hahaha. But it's cheaper
DH tried to "save money" last year (the day after Thanksgiving) and trim Simon's nails- he had the day off. He nicked the quick and Simon started bleeding and wouldnt stop. There was blood all over the house, DH was a wreck and Simon bled for hours (til the next day actually). He is so nervous that it couldn't cauterize. That was the last time we did it. He has such strong legs that it's hard to near impossible to hold him down. I had to bandage his paw up and drug him to sleep because he was shaking so much... between that and his peeing all over the place, it's worth the $12 for us to take him somewhere!!
One of my dogs actually starts to bite his nails if they get too long, so he loves it when we clip them. The other doesn't like it but she tolerates it. They both run over to where we keep the treats when they are done. So cute.
Does your fur baby love or hate the groomer? Freya doesn't mind... Loki HATES it
Do you tip? if so, how much? We don't actually... for washing we bring them to the self-serve dog wash, so we end up doing it ourselves. I only really bring Freya to the groomer to get her nails done as she hates us touching her feet... I guess I should start tipping them since they're doing me the favor, huh?
Do you give an extra tip around holiday time? N/A
