Choosing a bath for grooming
The grooming bath is an accessory for professional pet grooming. You will familiarize yourself with the features of these baths and the nuances of their choice in this article.
Peculiarities
Bathing is one of the most important animal care procedures. It is extremely inconvenient to wash dogs and cats bent over in half over a regular bathtub or shower tray. Dirty splashes fly around, and the pets are worried and try to jump out.
In the baths for grooming everything is taken into account for the bathing procedure to be comfortable.
- High sides are adjustable to fit your pet. The animal will not be able to escape, and the water will not splash out.
- The legs drop and rise to different heights depending on the size of the rock.
- The thickened walls of the container do not deform when collecting water.
- There is a special entrance and ladder to the bathtub for animals to enter and leave it on their own.
Products with hydromassage and ozone have been created for special procedures. Such a service for a pet can be ordered at a professional pet salon or hairdresser.
Taking a bath with ozone perfectly cleanses the skin and hair of animals, promotes rapid regeneration of epidermal cells, saturates the pet's body with oxygen and improves immunity.
Types and equipment
Manufacturers offer customers products for both professional use and household use. Accessories for bathing animals in grooming salons are made of polypropylene and stainless steel. These baths are bulkier and heavier.
A light plastic container is suitable for bathing pets at home. It can be placed in a regular bathtub or brought into a shower stall. Take it with you to the village or to the dacha.
The complete set of such products is different. There are models that are equipped with everything you need:
- a shelf for small items;
- a railing for attaching a leash;
- mixer;
- pallets with different heights (low - for large dogs, medium and high - for small);
- ladder and door;
- siphon with a filter for wool;
- ozonation and hydromassage system;
- backlight;
- height adjustment of the legs on the basis of an electric drive.
In addition to this set, you can purchase a spray gun head with various water flow modes and an anti-slip mat.
Partial models:
- without hydromassage and ozone;
- without ladder, with siphon and pallet, with manually adjustable feet;
- without pallet, lifting legs, but with high sides.
The simplest and cheapest options are tabletop mobile baths without any accessories.
Nuances of choice
When choosing the right bath model for grooming, consider a few important nuances.
- Purpose of the purchase. If the container is necessary for working in the salon, it is better to purchase a multifunctional robust bathtub with several levels and spacious dimensions to freely bathe animals of various breeds. The motorized feet will be an important benefit of the accessory. This will relieve groomers from the constant stress on the spine.
- Price. If an accessory is needed for a pet and will be used as needed, do not overpay for expensive options that you will rarely use. You can do without the function of measuring water and internal illumination. Inexpensive plastic models are perfect for taking care of your pets at home.
- The number and size of animals. Some baths allow you to bathe not one, but two pets at once, which is very convenient. For large and medium breeds of dogs, it is advisable to purchase a larger bathtub. For small breeds and bathing cats, a 30 liter bath is sufficient.
- Guarantee. This is one of the most important aspects when buying a product, especially if it is expensive. Be sure to ask whether the cost of the groomer bath includes maintenance, what kind of warranty does the manufacturer give for the product.
