I don't give my groomer anything extra for Christmas because I tip her after each grooming throughout the year. I do give her a Christmas card and usually slip a Starbucks card inside, but that's all I do. I tip my hairdresser throughout the year so I tip my pet's groomer as well. My groomer has to work harder than my hair dresser :>)

Glad you asked the question since I've been thinking the same thing.

I go to Petsmart but I always request the same groomer. It's difficult to tip her when another gal prints out the receipt and I have to take it to the store cashier to pay!

She's done excellent work with my dog (he's mostly wash/blow dry) and I'd like to do something extra for her this holiday. I was thinking of a gift card to a local store........something like Trader Joes. I'll spend at least $25.
