Just for the standard bath & trim, nothing super special. Should I be tipping these people?

Was curious cause I got a haircut today and tipped as usual, then took the dogs to the groomer and I started thinking "hmmm, do most people tip these folks?"

:think2:

I think in cases ike this it depends on whether or or not you feel the price for the service is more than reasonable on top of a good job.

Once you figure out how cool it is to just randomly give money to people, you'll never second-guess any when/where/how much of "tipping" in the future

Not exactly sure what you mean here, if you're being facetious or what. Was just looking for opinions, not a second guess of my generosity...

we tip just because we are happy with the service. they really do a good job and take care of our pets. it is 68 for our 2 dogs and we tip 20. we have been to places before that could act like we are a burden and dont tip anything.

If your dog receives a "happy ending" then I would probably throw them a tip.

I'm not a big tipper on outside stuff , but maybe $5 here. However I wouldn't own a sissy dog needing a grooming.....
