Dog grooming - the comfortable way

I don't mind giving my dogs the occasional bath in my bathtub, but I do mind getting on my knees to wash them while they are in the tub. My back usually starts to hurt and it is just plain awkward. I mention that fact because 10 years ago a local dog grooming place opened up a few miles from me. It was called Pup N' Scrub and it was a self serve dog washing place. I went in there just once to look around and decided not to use the facilities. The main reason was the fact that they had installed bathtubs at the regular level, on the floor. Even the American Standard sinks were installed at an awkward level.

I had not noticed the store after that visit many years ago and I had not even thought about it. That was until a friend of mine mentioned how she ran into the former owner. It seems that the dog wash place only lasted just over a year and no one had bothered to tell her that everything was installed wrong for dog washing. Come to find out, the former owner was not even a dog owner and had no clue about dog grooming or washing, she was just a business owner hoping to cash in on the dog craze at the time.
