Booster Bath Medium Elevated Dog Bath
The Booster Bath Medium creates a raised washing station for bathing and basic grooming at home. Its elevated design positions the dog approximately 32 inches above floor level, helping the handler work from a more upright position.
An open perimeter provides access from multiple sides, while the supplied drain hose directs used water toward an appropriate drain or outdoor location. The lightweight polypropylene construction makes the unit easier to reposition than a permanent metal grooming tub.
Medium Elevated Washing Station
The assembled Medium model measures approximately 33 inches long, 16.75 inches wide and 32 inches high. It is intended for dogs that can stand and turn comfortably inside the basin without climbing over the sides.
The source listing does not provide a verified maximum pet weight. Confirm the dog’s body dimensions and contact the manufacturer for load-capacity guidance if suitability is uncertain.
Check the Fit Before Use
An appropriately sized dog should be able to:
- Stand with all four paws inside the basin
- Maintain a natural head and neck position
- Turn only when directed and supported
- Remain clear of the tub edges
- Enter and exit with controlled assistance
- Stand without the legs or body pressing tightly against the sides
Do not use breed name alone to select a bathing tub. Body length, standing height, weight, mobility and temperament all affect suitability.
Elevated Working Height
Raising the dog from floor level may reduce the amount of kneeling and deep bending required during washing. This can make routine bathing more manageable, especially when the handler needs access to the legs, underside and coat.
The product should not be described as treating or preventing back, knee or joint pain. Users with mobility limitations should assess whether they can safely lift, steady and remove the dog before purchasing.
Open 360-Degree Access
The freestanding layout allows the handler to approach the dog from different sides for washing, rinsing and drying. Leave sufficient clearance around the tub and keep the floor free from hoses, bottles and other trip hazards.
When used inside a shower or utility area, measure the complete installation space rather than the basin alone. The supporting legs may require more floor area than the upper tub body.
Indoor Placement
Before indoor use:
- Confirm that the assembled unit fits within the available space.
- Position every leg on a level, load-bearing surface.
- Direct the drain hose to a suitable drain.
- Test the drainage system before placing the dog inside.
- Protect surrounding surfaces from splashes.
- Keep electrical grooming equipment away from water.
- Dry the floor promptly if water escapes.
Do not balance one or more legs on the edge of a bathtub, shower tray or other uneven surface.
Directional Drain Hose
The supplied drain hose allows used water to be directed away from the handler’s feet and toward an appropriate disposal point.
Attach the hose securely and test it with a small amount of water before each bath. Maintain a downward drainage path without sharp bends, kinks or raised sections that could cause water to collect in the basin.
Drainage Safety
- Confirm that the hose is fully connected.
- Route it where it cannot be kicked or pulled.
- Keep the outlet lower than the tub drain.
- Do not allow wastewater to create a slipping hazard.
- Check local requirements before draining soapy water outdoors.
- Stop bathing if the hose disconnects or the basin does not drain properly.
The drain hose controls wastewater only. It is not a water-supply hose.
UV-Stabilized Polypropylene Construction
The tub is made from UV-stabilized polypropylene, a lightweight plastic suitable for routine exposure during pet bathing. The moulded single-piece basin reduces the number of seams within the main washing area.
UV stabilization helps the material resist ordinary sunlight exposure but does not make the product immune to fading, brittleness or weather damage. Store the cleaned tub in a sheltered location when it is not being used.
Assembly and Storage
The product requires assembly before use. Install the legs and any supplied accessories according to the current user manual, ensuring that every support is fully seated.
At approximately 8 lb, the empty unit can be moved or disassembled for storage more easily than many permanent grooming stations. Never attempt to move the tub while a dog or water is inside it.
Bathing Instructions
Before the Bath
Brush loose hair and remove mats that may tighten when wet. Gather shampoo, towels and rinsing equipment before placing the dog in the tub.
Use a pet shampoo appropriate for the dog’s coat and skin. Human shampoo may have an unsuitable pH and should not be substituted unless directed by a veterinarian.
Setup Checklist
- Assemble the tub completely.
- Place it on a flat, stable and non-slip surface.
- Confirm that all legs and connections are secure.
- Attach and test the drain hose.
- Check that the water supply can reach safely.
- Use a secure non-slip bathing surface if one is supplied or recommended.
- Prepare towels before bringing the dog to the station.
- Test the water temperature with your hand.
- Keep the dog supported during entry and exit.
During the Bath
Use lukewarm water and introduce it gradually. Keep water and shampoo away from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
Maintain physical control of the dog throughout the bath. If a restraint system is supplied, fit it according to the manual and keep it loose enough for normal breathing while preventing unsafe movement.
A grooming restraint is not a substitute for supervision.
After the Bath
Rinse the coat thoroughly and remove the dog with controlled assistance. Towel-dry the dog on a secure surface away from the wet bathing area.
Drain and rinse the basin, then allow every component to dry completely before storage.

Package and Compatibility Notes
Water Supply
The listing clearly identifies a drain hose but does not consistently confirm that a water-supply hose or spray attachment is included. Customers should plan to use a compatible household shower, hose or separate pet-rinsing attachment unless the received package contents state otherwise.
Steps and Accessories
Any stairs, ramps or accessories shown in related-product sections should not be assumed to be included. Check the package list for the exact Medium model before advertising additional components.
Cleaning and Maintenance
After Every Use
Remove hair and debris from the basin and drain opening. Wash the surfaces with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly and allow the tub, hose and supporting components to dry.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the polypropylene.
Routine Inspection
Before every bath, inspect:
- The legs and their connection points
- The basin for cracks or deformation
- The drain and hose connection
- Any non-slip surface
- Grooming restraints and attachment points
- Fasteners and removable accessories
Stop using the tub if it rocks, shifts, leaks unexpectedly or has a damaged support component.
Storage
Store the unit clean and dry. Protect it from freezing conditions, prolonged direct sunlight, high heat and impact from heavy objects.
Do not stack heavy equipment inside the basin during storage.
Essential Safety Guidance
- Never leave a dog unattended in the tub.
- Do not leave a dog suspended by a grooming restraint.
- Keep one hand available to steady nervous or untrained dogs.
- Do not permit the dog to jump into or out of the elevated basin.
- Use a safe lifting technique or an appropriate ramp designed for the unit.
- Never move the bath while occupied.
- Keep the floor dry and free from tripping hazards.
- Use lukewarm water and check the temperature continuously.
- Keep electrical dryers, clippers and extension cords away from standing water.
- Stop immediately if the dog struggles, slips, pants excessively or shows distress.
- Ask a veterinarian or professional groomer for guidance when bathing a dog with medical, mobility or behavioural concerns.
