Our advice Buying Guide

Grooming can be a dreadful experience for dogs but it doesn't have to be if owners make sure bath time is fun for them. Buying your dog a pet grooming tub is the first step to turning bathing into a pleasurable experience rather than a painful one. After all, it's your way of pampering your pet and spending quality time with it. To know how to choose the right pet grooming tub, keep on reading.

How to pick the right size pet grooming tub?

A pet grooming tub should be of the correct size to place a dog in it. If it's too small for your dog, it won't be able to stay put which will result in a mess with all the water being spilled and splashed.

To determine the size of the pet grooming tub that your dog needs, measure your pet's height and length. The height of the tub must be enough to secure your pet in it. If your dog will still grow, find its adult measurements online. That should be your reference when choosing a pet grooming tub or else you'll find yourself buying a bigger tub because your dog has overgrown the one it used before.

Remember that your priority is getting the right tub size. Additional features and aesthetics should come second. There's no point in getting a beautiful pet grooming tub if you won't be able to use it to bathe your dog.

What's the price range for pet grooming tubs?

Pet grooming tubs can cost as low as $50 each or as high as $1,500. Because the price bracket is so wide, it's now time for you to decide on how much you want to spend. If you'll be using a pet grooming tub often to bathe several dogs, you'd want one that can withstand constant and rough use as dogs can scratch on it. Large dogs also need a more durable tub that can carry their weight.

If the budget that you've set allows or if you please, get a bigger and wider bathtub so your dog can swim in it. You can also add toys so your pet can play while it’s being groomed. This will ensure that its bathing time becomes a fun swimming experience. Most of us treat our pets as family members, so we can assume that you'd also be willing to spend more for the comfort of your pet.

What are pet grooming tubs crafted from?

Pet grooming tubs can be made of different materials. The most common are made of plastic, stainless steel, and fiberglass reinforced plastic. They are preferred by dog owners and professional groomers because they're less likely to leak.
The high-quality, well-performing, and long-lasting pet grooming tubs are made of stainless steel, but they come with a heavy price tag. This is what you'd prefer if you have a dog grooming business or several dogs to bathe at a time.

Pets are active, and they love getting messy and grubby. This will require a thorough 'rub and scrub' and some work on your part as the dog owner. Because you've read our guide on how to choose pet grooming tubs, we're confident that you will get the tub that's right for you and your pet's grooming needs.
