The complete guide
Choosing a dog grooming bath tub
What this tub is
This is a commercial stainless steel dog grooming bath tub with a ramp, faucet, hoses and loops. The listing names it a 50 inch professional dog grooming bath tub and recommends it for all sized dogs. The ramp lets dogs walk straight into the tub, and the fittings you need to wash them come with it.
Built from 304 stainless steel
The tub is made from 16-gauge 304 stainless steel, which the listing describes as super durable and rust resistant. The tub basin is fully welded as one piece to guard against leaks. The base frame is fully welded too, so the tub sits solid and stable.
Sliding door and ramp
The tub has a sliding door with watertight seals that keep the water in. A sliding door is easy to use and saves space. The ramp lets dogs walk directly into the tub. When you are not using it, the ramp can be hidden underneath the tub, out of the way.
Faucet, hoses and fittings
Here is what the tub comes with or is equipped with:
- A 6 inch faucet and a sprayer
- Hot and cold water hoses in the standard 1/2 inch size
- An overhead grooming arm with 2 loops
- An anti-slip mat
- A drain with a hair trap
- 4 adjustable levelers
If you already have a faucet you like, the tub is compatible with a 4 inch, 6 inch or 8 inch wall-mount faucet.
Plumbing and setup
The drain sits on the right-hand side of the tub. The water supply can be installed on either end, which gives you some choice when you plan where the tub goes. Depending on your local building code requirements, you connect the drain to an existing drain.
Assembly is minimal. You fit the back splash and the feet to the tub, then fit the faucet. It takes about 20 minutes. The tub has threaded adjustable feet, and so does the ramp, so you can level both on an uneven floor.
It can be an easy DIY install. If you are not sure about the drain connection or your local code, get a plumber to look at it before you start.
Check your space first
The listing gives this as a 50 inch tub but does not list every measurement. Measurements can vary slightly, so measure your space before you order and leave room for the ramp. If you need exact figures for your plumber, contact us and we will check before you order.
