ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for washing animals is disclosed comprising a container having a bottom surface and a platform spaced vertically from the bottom surface. An animal is positioned on a pad disposed on the platform. The pad and platform are shaped so that the washing liquid runs freely from the pad and platform to the bottom surface of the container. A trough is positioned adjacent the bottom surface of the container for receiving the washing liquid. A trough basket collects hair and other debris to keep the drain clear. An external well is positioned adjacent to the trough to provide an area for receiving a recirculating pump for use in minimizing the use of washing liquid required to wash the animal.
