"I LOVE THEM!!!!! If this takes off I'll put another one where my mirror is now just for me. The reaction has been fantastic. A few of the area groomers have been in and had never seen your tubs and they all loved them. Great product and I'd be happy to reccomend them to anyone."

--from a professional groomer with many years of experience

"I have to tell you, I just LOVE the poly tubs. I've had so many people comment on them while still in the box! The plumber thinks they are great and can't wait to see them installed. I'm so glad I went with them."

"The tubs came today and are beautiful!"

"I really prefer the poly pet tubs. They hold any size dog, are quiet, sturdy and attractive. I would sell my stainless tub if I knew how to go about that. Then I could order another poly pet."

"Your pricing is much better than the stainless steel [tubs]...."

"I can't wait to get my new tub set up. I've heard wonderful remarks about them from other groomers."

"....I have two stores, one with [stainless-steel] tubs and one with Poly Pet Tubs....The main issue I have with the [other] tubs is the ramp. The ramp is at an extremely steep angle which I think contributes to the reluctance of the dogs to utilize them. It is almost impossible to get a dog to use them. The ramps on the Poly Pet Tubs is at a much lower angle and probably 90% of the dogs use them pretty easily. I think there are some other advantages to the Poly tubs. The white tubs are a little more attractive to look at than the stainless steel. And the stainless tubs are a little noisy sometimes. Sprayers and dilution bottles dropping and dogs shaking, are noisier with the stainless tubs. I actually have customers that drive farther to my store with the Poly tubs because they like them so much better. Sure, the [other] tubs have the welded eye-hook for the restraints, but the Poly tubs have the big handles, and it's easy to attach the restraints. If I had to choose, I'd definitly go with the Poly tubs."

"I've heard wonderful remarks about them from other groomers."

"The material sounds like it’s strong as kryptonite, and much better looking than stainless steel."

"...safe, sturdy, and I like the color."

"Your tubs look great, sturdy, easy to clean, attractive, and the value is great....I hope everyone sees the value in your attachment package..."

"They are even better quality than I expected. I'm really glad I went with them instead of stainless."

"....We are so very pleased with the workmanship. I love the way it is so easy for the dogs to enter into the tub. The ramp is not scary at all to them....The plumber was even impressed with it and my landlord was also."

"The tubs are absolutely beautiful....You have done a great job with them and they are as solid as can be--I have no regrets and would recommend them over stainless for sure!!"

"My wife is in the market for a new dog wash tub for her shop and has an interest in your plastic tubs. I am in the metals business and am in favor of a stainless tub. I have, however, seen your tubs at a local self-serve dog wash...and I was impressed."

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!
  
  
• 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 even easier to rinse off and keep clean than stainless steel.
  
  
• Resists scum/bacteria buildup, as practically nothing sticks well to it. Even permanent marker, paint, glues, construction adhesives, caulking, and silicone come off after drying for 24 hours!

How Are Poly Tubs Different From Others?

• Splash Walls: Higher than other tubs to better contain water and hair.
  
  
• Mat: 1/2" thick rubber mat attaches to tub floor to prevent sliding, yet is easily lifted for cleaning. Provides secure, comfortable footing for dogs to stand on.
  
  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.
  
  
• Double Drains: Provides twice the drainage of other tubs.
  
  
• Restraint Bars: Bulges allow secure attachment to various points for better positioning of dogs. Large diameter makes releasing and moving restraint much easier (hooks available upon request).
  
  
• 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 most other tubs, extra-large tubs are also wider!).
  
  
• Price: Considerably less expensive than other premium tubs.
  
  Shipping cost can also be significantly lower (due to lighter weight and smaller package since they are shipped with legs unattached).

NEW:   Tub Platform

Unique design that is more practical and user-friendly than other grates or platforms.

• Uses same 1/2" thick mat that comes with tubs. Mat can be removed from tub floor and placed on platform, and vice versa--in either position it is held securly in place so that it cannot slide.
  
  
• Rather than holes which claws/toes can get stuck in or make dogs uneasy, our platform provides a solid, comfortable, sure-footing surface. It is also much easier to keep clean, as racks with holes tend to hold hair that is not easy to rinse off and must physically be removed.
  
  
• 1 1/2" space between edges of platform and sides of tub allows water and hair to run off.
  
  
• Entire platform and/or mat can be easily lifted for cleaning or removal.
  
  
• Top of platform with mat is 2 1/4" from tub floor. Fits all 48" Poly Pet Tubs.

More Comments

"I like that it is made of poly instead of stainless steel. The industrial look and feel is less with the poly....I think it is sized right for a home grooming room as well as a grooming business."

"I think the style is great for professional groomers....Seems to be able to hold a lot of weight and you are correct about how easy to keep clean and sanitized. There is not much in this world that will stick to poly."

"The poly tubs look really nice - they seem to be a better price point than the stainless steel and just as durable and long lasting (plus they don't look as 'sterile' as the stainless)."

"They look good! I think you have a great idea."

"I saw the tubs and I thought they looked great....The only complaint I have about the stainless steel is that they make a lot of noise when the dog moves around and the dogs sometimes get spooked, so the ploy tubs would be great for that."

"I did take a look at the new tubs and was very impressed!...Many people (myself included) complain about the noise from the ss tubs, so the new one's look like a great alternative. Ease of cleaning is another plus - it sounds like the manufacturer has taken that into account."

"Those tubs look awesome."

"The tub arrived today and it is beautiful!"

"I purchased your Poly tub last year when I opened my own shop....Love it!"

"When I observed your tubs…I found the weld quality to be far superior to that of [a cage manufacturer]."

"I now have a working tub and I love it!" "Just wanted you to know the tub is great, easy to set up, no problem with delivery, attractive, functional, etc. Way nicer than the SS ones. A few other grooming shop owners have stopped in to say hello and may be calling you in the future."
