Thank you all for responses.

I went prepared to tip, but then I didn't see the groomer - her
assistant brought him out. And the bill was over $100 - let's just say,
that seems sufficient!

(Although he looks beautiful now. They bathed him and got *all* the mats
out - he's long haired and doesn't like brushing. And trimmed his
nails,which was the critical thing. He's not quite forgiven us for
putting him through this ordeal.)

Needless to say, I don't think this will be a regular thing. Can't
afford it too often!
