Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum

So I tried searching and only found a little bit of info and it's all pretty dated.

I'm in search for a grooming table and wondering what I should be looking for and what might be recommended.  I have two pups that require grooming but the newest pup will definitely need the tethers to keep her steady.  I have been grooming Sassparilla (60# Labradoodle) for over 5 years and she is super easy and can be done in about 10-15 minutes on the patio. My newest addition Maisie has way more hair (DNA results came back purebred std poodle) and she's a wiggle worm.  For her I will want to tether her head and hips to keep her from falling off the table.

Googling I've seen some with a full arm for the tethers?  Also I'm 5'6 so would like a taller table to avoid flaring up my already bad back and hopefully not real expensive but I do understand the need for quality.

Any guidance on what I need to look for and suggestions on what I should buy would be greatly appreciated.  

Maisie got her first cut last night, sitting on the floor and having my daughter hold her "steady" so not such a great cut but I'm not stressed about it.  My fist attempt with lots of hair and a wiggling puppy, I will learn from my mistakes and hopefully do better next time.  All things considering I think we did well for our first time but there is definitely room for improvement.  Here she is before and after and with Sassy.  I need to wet her to bring back the curls, it was too late and too cold last night to get her wet.

I'll be posting a separate discussion on shampoo suggestions to keep her black coat looking good.

This looks almost identical to the one I got from  Costco but the loops are nicer on yours!

I ordered one almost identical to this from Costco.  It's nice and sturdy, only complaint is the restraint loops are hard to adjust.  Not a problem if you only have one dog though or all your dogs are similarly sized.

Hmmm, only one pup will need to be restrained i'll check out costco's website. Thanks 

One thing I just noticed that's nicer about the Costco one is there's a big shelf under the table to store supplies instead of that tiny shelf on the arm.

Also may only be available in Canada, can't find it on Costco.com

There is one on Amazon with the tray underneath for storage too. I went back and forth on which to order.... I thought the tray on the pole right in grabbing distance would be more beneficial. Hope I chose right... should be here today.

I mean ideally you'd have both :p bottom storage, side shelf for whatever couple things you are actively using.  I can probably find a shower caddy type thing to use as a side shelf if I find myself wanting one.

Ok maybe it's just gone now.. that's too bad it was a nice table guess I ordered just in time! Biggest pet peeve about Costco is their random stock.
