PRODUCT DETAILS

Specifications, Options & Buying Information

The Commercial Stainless Steel Pet Grooming Bathtub is designed for professional pet grooming salons, veterinary facilities, pet hotels, animal-care centers, grooming equipment distributors, and OEM buyers that require a dedicated stainless steel bathing station for dogs and other suitable pets.

The bathtub can be configured with an electric height-adjustable base or a fixed-height structure with step access. High rear and side panels help contain splash, while an access-door configuration can reduce the need to lift larger animals over a full-height tub wall.

SENFON coordinates the tub dimensions, working height, electric-lift configuration, access door, restraint points, drainage, hair-filter solution, sprayer interfaces, stainless steel construction, accessories, and packing according to the approved B2B specification.

Built Around the Professional Grooming Workflow

A professional grooming bathtub should be selected according to how animals enter the tub, how the groomer works around them, how water and hair are removed, and how the station is cleaned between grooming sessions.

Important workflow considerations include:

  • Typical dog sizes and weight range handled by the facility
  • Whether animals enter through a low-access door or are lifted into the tub
  • Preferred groomer working height
  • Required restraint positions during washing
  • Sprayer and faucet operating position
  • Hair collection and drain-cleaning access
  • Available floor, wall, water and electrical connections

For project and distributor orders, SENFON recommends defining these operating requirements before final dimensions and accessories are confirmed.

Electric Lift or Fixed-Height Grooming Tub?

This grooming bathtub can be developed around two different base concepts. The correct version depends on animal handling, operator preference, facility layout, budget, and destination-market requirements.

Electric Height-Adjustable Version

The electric-lift configuration allows the bathtub working height to be raised or lowered through the approved lifting system.

Lowering the tub can make entry easier for suitable larger dogs, while raising the working level can help the groomer position the animal at a more practical washing height.

Before ordering an electric model, buyers should confirm:

  • Required minimum and maximum working height
  • Rated lifting load
  • Motor or actuator specification
  • Voltage and frequency
  • Plug or wiring requirement
  • Control-switch position
  • Electrical protection required for the destination market
  • Maintenance and service access around the lifting mechanism

Electrical specifications and rated load must be written into the quotation and approved specification rather than assumed from product photographs.

Fixed-Height Version with Step Access

A fixed-height grooming tub uses a simpler stationary supporting structure. A stable step or access platform can be coordinated where required to support animal entry or groomer access.

This version may be suitable for buyers that do not require an electric lifting system and prefer a mechanically simpler grooming station.

Low-Entry Access for Easier Animal Handling

Handling large or reluctant dogs can be one of the most important practical considerations when selecting a grooming bathtub.

An access-door configuration allows the animal to enter from the side rather than always being lifted over the full tub wall. Depending on the selected design, the door can be coordinated with the working height and internal platform arrangement.

Buyers should confirm:

  • Door position
  • Opening direction
  • Clear entry width
  • Door-latch structure
  • Required sealing arrangement
  • Relationship between the door sill and internal tub floor

The final door design should balance easier animal access with water containment during washing.

High Splash Panels & Grooming Restraint Points

The rear and side walls form a contained wet-working area around the animal. Higher splash panels can help limit water spray reaching nearby walls, equipment, or operators.

Integrated restraint or leash attachment points can also be included according to the grooming workflow.

Before production, specify:

  • Rear-panel height
  • Left and right splash-panel height
  • Number of restraint points
  • Restraint-point position
  • Whether the buyer supplies its own grooming loops or restraint accessories

Restraint hardware should support controlled grooming but does not replace appropriate animal-handling practices and operator supervision.

Tub Size Should Match the Animals You Actually Groom

The correct grooming tub should not be selected only from its external length.

Buyers should evaluate the usable internal bathing area according to the animals normally handled by the salon or facility.

Key measurements include:

  • Internal tub length
  • Internal width
  • Usable internal depth
  • Door opening width
  • Finished working height
  • Overall equipment footprint

A distributor serving several grooming-market segments may choose more than one standard size instead of trying to use one oversized bathtub for every customer.

Drainage & Hair Management

Pet grooming produces a different drainage challenge from ordinary hand washing because loose hair can enter the wastewater stream during bathing.

The drainage system should therefore be considered together with hair collection and routine cleaning access.

Possible project requirements include:

  • Drain outlet diameter
  • Drain position
  • Removable hair strainer or hair-trapping filter
  • Accessible waste fitting
  • Drain hose or rigid plumbing connection
  • Local trap and wastewater requirements

SENFON can review hair-filter and drain configurations as part of the approved accessory scope. The buyer or installer should confirm compatibility with the local plumbing system.

Sprayer, Faucet & Shampoo Accessory Layout

A grooming bathtub is usually operated differently from a conventional commercial kitchen sink. The groomer may need a flexible spray hose, accessible shampoo storage, and a water-control position that can be reached while maintaining control of the animal.

Depending on the selected configuration, buyers can discuss:

  • Flexible grooming sprayer
  • Sprayer holder
  • Faucet or mixing-valve interface
  • Hot and cold water connections
  • Shampoo bottle rack or shelf
  • Accessory mounting positions
  • Water-supply connection size

Accessories shown in reference photographs should only be considered included when they are specifically listed in the quotation.

Stainless Steel Construction for Wet Grooming Areas

The current grooming-bathtub design is built around welded stainless steel construction for repeated wet-area use. SUS304 stainless steel is the primary material associated with this product configuration.

For an accurate B2B order, buyers should not rely only on broad descriptions such as “heavy duty” or “premium stainless steel.” The approved specification should identify the material and construction of the important components.

These can include:

  • Main tub body
  • Rear and side splash panels
  • Access door
  • Base or supporting frame
  • Electric-lift supporting structure where applicable
  • Accessory brackets and shelves
  • Drain and hair-filter interfaces

If a buyer requests a different stainless steel grade or special thickness requirement, production feasibility should be reviewed before the order is confirmed.

Cleaning & Daily Maintenance Considerations

A professional pet bathing station should allow the operator to rinse the tub, remove trapped hair, access the drain area, and clean frequently touched surfaces between grooming sessions.

Useful maintenance details include:

  • Smooth internal tub surfaces
  • Accessible internal corners
  • Removable drain or hair-filter components
  • Accessible door edges and seals
  • Service access to plumbing
  • Service access to the electric lift on powered models

The cleaning chemical and procedure should be selected according to the stainless steel finish, accessories, seals, electrical components, and the facility's operating requirements.

Designed for Professional Pet-Care Businesses

This grooming bathtub is primarily positioned for professional B2B purchasing rather than residential bathroom use.

Typical buyers include:

  • Pet grooming salons
  • Dog grooming chains
  • Veterinary clinics and animal hospitals
  • Pet hotels and boarding facilities
  • Animal-care centers
  • Pet grooming equipment distributors
  • Veterinary and pet-supply wholesalers
  • Project contractors developing animal-care facilities
  • OEM and private-label grooming-equipment brands

For buyers sourcing other non-standard stainless steel washing and specialty equipment, see SENFON's Commercial Sinks & Specialty Stainless Steel Equipment range.

OEM Grooming Bathtub Development

Pet grooming markets can differ substantially in preferred tub size, electrical system, door design, accessories, and retail positioning. For distributor and OEM programs, the grooming tub should therefore be defined as a complete product specification instead of only by an appearance reference.

Custom development can include:

  • Overall bathtub dimensions
  • Internal bathing dimensions
  • Fixed or electric-lift base
  • Minimum and maximum electric working height
  • Door configuration
  • Splash-panel dimensions
  • Drain and hair-filter arrangement
  • Sprayer and faucet interface
  • Shampoo shelf or accessory rack
  • Restraint-point configuration
  • Electrical voltage and frequency
  • Selected labeling and packaging requirements

For distributor product development or drawing-based manufacturing, visit SENFON OEM/ODM Customization Services.

Electrical & Installation Review for Lift Models

The electric-lift version combines wet-area equipment with an electrically powered lifting system, so electrical and installation requirements should be confirmed before production and shipment.

The buyer or project professional should confirm applicable destination requirements for:

  • Supply voltage and frequency
  • Plug or fixed-wiring arrangement
  • Grounding / earthing
  • Wet-area electrical protection
  • Rated lifting load
  • Installation clearances
  • Water supply and drainage
  • Local electrical and plumbing compliance

SENFON manufactures the approved product specification; local installation and regulatory requirements should be confirmed by the buyer, importer, installer, or project professional.

Export Packing for a Large Stainless Steel Grooming Tub

A grooming bathtub is larger and more complex than a compact sink bowl, particularly when it includes an electric lifting base, access door, sprayer system, steps, and other accessories.

The export packing plan should therefore consider:

  • Protection of brushed stainless steel surfaces
  • Protection of door edges and moving parts
  • Securing the electric lifting structure
  • Separate identification of loose accessories
  • Protection of sprayers, valves and fittings
  • LCL or container-loading conditions
  • Destination unloading and handling

The final packing method should be coordinated according to model, quantity, shipping method, and destination.
