US Patent 8069821 Animal bathing apparatus

The animal bathing apparatus is fully portable and enclosed by its base and hingedly attached case that overlappingly fits atop the base. Other components, when collapsed, fit within and above the base. The folding legs of the apparatus provide for an animal tender to reach within the front round edged cutout to bath an animal while either sitting upon a given chair or standing, without having to bend. An animal is adjustably tethered within the expanded apparatus so that hands of a tender are free for use in bathing. The water dispenser is mounted on a flexible neck and is height adjustable. The ideally rectangular base has an elevated border, with walls that may be transparent.
