What factors can impact the cost of pet grooming services?

• Breed: All breeds have different coats. Double-coated breeds can be more difficult to maintain than short-haired ones. Your Border Collie and its thick, beautiful fur will be more expensive than your Toy Poodle. Another cost factor is the breed size. Small dogs require less time to groom than large dogs.
• Temperament: Groomers might charge more for dogs with aggression, anxiety, or special needs. Grooming sensitive dogs requires more effort. There are also safety considerations when dealing with aggressive dogs.
• Transport: You don’t have time to take your dog to the salon. For an additional fee, some dog groomers offer pick-up and delivery services. Mobile grooming is more expensive. Professional grooming done in a van that travels to your location. Mobile groomer vans come equipped with special equipment that allows your dog to get shampoo baths and haircuts without the need to go to a grooming centre. Although it’s more convenient, it can be more expensive.
• You live where:Grooming dogs can be more costly in larger cities or areas where there is a high cost to live.
• Frequency: Customers who have regular appointments or pay regularly for grooming often get discounts from dog groomers.

Do I tip the dog groomer

Although tipping is controversial, most people tip their groomers between 15-20% and 20-25%. The amount you tip will depend on how satisfied you are with the results and how difficult it is for your dog to handle — such as if they nip on the groomer. Even though they are paying you to groom your dog, there is still some risk involved in grooming them. Do we really need to raise anal gland expression? Tipping is a great way to express your appreciation.

What are the top things pet owners should look for when looking to hire a groomer?

The industry of pet grooming is not regulated. To offer grooming services, you don’t have to be qualified. However, having some type of membership or certification can demonstrate commitment to the business. There are many organizations that offer certification and training, including the National Dog Groomers of America (NDGAA), International Society of Canine Cosmetologists (ISCC) or the International Pet Groomers Inc. (IPGI). These are not the only ones that are popular.

Salon conditions are just as important as certifications. Do not be afraid to inspect the salon. How clean is your grooming area? How does the groomer interact with dog owners and dogs? A good groomer will show you the ropes and make it easy for you to feel at ease. Don’t be offended if the salon requests proof of immunizations. They aren’t being rude, they are actually thinking about their groomers’ safety and health.
