ABSTRACT:
A grooming portal for being connected with an interior door of a dwelling composed generally of an arch shaped decorative frame which is mounted with respect to an arch shaped opening cut in the interior door contiguous the bottom end thereof and a brush having a flexible backing removably mounted to the frame. When mounted to the frame, the brush provides a plurality of bristles which face radially toward, and project into, the passageway defined by the grooming portal. The frame is decorative, thereby enhancing the look of the interior door. The flexible backing frictionally and/or snappingly fits into the frame and is as wide as the door thickness so as to provide an interior framing for a hollow core or a solid core interior door. A preferred flexible backing material is plastic. It is preferred for the flexible backing to be adjustably mountable to the frame to thereby accommodate the particular size of the user's pet.
