Choose the best grooming table (the discount price is not a criterion of choice)

Indispensable accessory for the groomer, the table is an important element of your room or salon. Indeed, it is on this material that all the most important stages of the animal's toilet will take place (from disentangling to drying, including the scissor cut).

Before triggering an act of purchase, several criteria will be essential in your decision-making:

• Structure first: do you think a fixed base will make the most sense for your use? Will you need the amount to allow the animals to get on and off (this will be especially true if you often handle large dogs ... followers of giant breeds remember!)?

If yes, do you think that a hydraulic lever will be sufficient and comfortable enough for daily use? Won't you quickly get bored of pumping like a shadok? There are electric lifting systems for your tables. Manually or foot-operated, you can control all movements and thus achieve optimal working ergonomics. You manage your height according to the individual you have to groom, and it is your back that will thank you for it in a few years!

• the plate itself: do not neglect its size, its shape, or its possibilities of movement. Don't make a rookie mistake by purchasing a dog grooming table that will not be suitable for breeds that you will have to wash and dry. .. Some table tops and gallows may have shapes other than rectangular: if the round trays are particularly interesting for carrying out a small dog grooming easily and quickly, without having to move .... others will rather retain the "bone shapes" which allow the groomer to get as close as possible dog and cat on the table.

• the coating: it must always be non-slip to prevent animals from putting themselves in an uncomfortable situation! On the other hand, pay attention to the height of this coating, how many groomers have been disappointed with their finishes on the legs because of the adhesive coating which was too much in volume, preventing them from making correct round legs.

• gallows: double or single, the gallows will be very useful to you especially for restless animals which will have an annoying tendency to systematically turn around during the most crucial stages: scissors cutting and finishing, but still nail cutting or risky disentangling.
