"We discovered your tub by talking with a groomer who just opened her shop and bought one and loves it.  We agree that they're the nicest on the market."

"I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the tubs!  They are just wonderful--really, really nice!  I'll be telling everyone about them."

"...and your tubs are working fantastic! People love the white, cleanliness, ease of access and lack of noise."

"You asked how I like my Poly Tub.....I simply LOVE IT!! I won't own another tub as long as I groom dogs! So, keep making them for me and other groomers! I am very proud to show my clients my equipment."

"I had ordered another tub that was stainless steel, then I heard all the negative reviews, but found yours!"

"I've been looking at tubs online for months and months endlessly and I'm happy I've finally made the decision I did. Honestly I've read every review on the internet and I'm pretty sure I've been to every possible online store that sells grooming tubs from east to west coast and even China. I even ordered 2 tubs from [one of the largest online pet-product companies] but fate kept getting in the way and it didn't happen for one reason or another. The shipping was out of this world and occasionally the people weren't always very helpful or friendly so it didn't work out. Out of all the websites and searches I always kept coming back to your site and this tub. Thanks again for your help."

Strong enough to securely hold a family of 5! Total weight inside tub in this photo is approx. 550 lbs! We would have added more weight, but there wasn't room for another family!

Strong enough to survive a 14-foot drop without damage! We would have dropped it from higher, but we didn't have a taller deck!	Click for larger image

Material Characteristics

• Constructed of durable, high-density polyethylene that is a full 1/2" thick, making it possibly the strongest tub on the market! Similar to material used to make 10,000+ gallon fire truck tanks.
  
  
• Has excellent impact resistance and does not dent. In fact, during tests we gave corners firm blows with a 2x4, and dropped a tub from a height of over 14 feet, and there was no noticeable damage!
  
  
• Doesn't have the sterile look of stainless steel, and there is no metal noise from objects such as sprayer heads, hoses, doors, dryer nozzles, etc. that can spook dogs and irritate people.
  
  
• Will not, rust, corrode, or tarnish. Stain and odor resistant.
  
  
• Excellent resistance to most chemicals, including chlorine bleach, ammonia, alcohol, and most acids.
  
  
• Molecular makeup of material makes surfaces easier to rinse off and keep clean than stainless steel.
  
  
• Resists scum/bacteria buildup, as practically nothing sticks well to it. Even marker, paint, glues, construction adhesives, caulking, and silicone come off after drying for 24 hours!
  
  
• Material is FDA approved and NSF Standard 51 certified.

How Are Poly Tubs Different From Others?

• Splash Walls: Higher than other tubs to better contain water and hair.
  
  
• Mat: 1/2" thick, scuff and stain resistant rubber mat attaches to tub floor to prevent sliding, yet is easily lifted for cleaning. Provides secure, comfortable footing for dogs to stand on (exceeds ADA Standard for traction).
  
  Mat also allows water and debris to run off so animal isn't standing in it. Eliminates need for expensive floor grate, and provides easier to clean, safer surface (e.g., no holes for claws to get caught in).
  
  Space around mat contributes to good drainage and eliminates problem other tubs can have with hair being trapped between tub and grate.
  
  Mat has low VOC emissions (less than the detection limit of 1%).
  
  
• Double Drains: Provides better drainage than other tubs. Drain holes are also recessed so that drains fit flush with floor of tub.
  
  
• Restraint Bars: Bulges allow secure attachment of included nooses to loops in 5 different points on each bar for better positioning of dogs (see video above). Stainless-steel hooks are also available upon request.
  
  Bars can also be used to easily and comfortably keep large, passive aggressive or uncooperative dogs standing when needed--simply place arm under dog in front of hind legs, and grasp bar, preventing dog from sitting!
  
  
• Ramp: Ramp can be used as a small-dog platform inside tub, as well as a grooming or accessory table outside of tub! (See images above)
  
  Unlike other ramps, this one has sides. This not only makes it extremely strong, it also helps dogs feel more comfortable and secure navigating it, as their concern they might step off the edge is reduced.
  
  Ramp angle of incline is not steep. This is a major factor determining how readily dogs will use a ramp.
  
  Ramp is covered with rubber matting that is a full 3/8" thick for sure footing!
  
  Ramp can easily be removed as needed, simply by lifting.
  
  
• Door: Opening is uniquely shaped to allow easier entry and exit of dogs.
  
  Door is quiet, and seals well to keep water in -- we believe better than any other tub door on the market.
  
  
• Sizes: 3 sizes available for all dogs and all applications (note that unlike other tubs, our extra-large tubs are also wider!).
  
  
• Price: Considerably less expensive than other premium tubs.
  
  Shipping costs are also lower due to lighter weight and smaller packed size (they are shipped with legs unattached).
