The Best Bath Tubs for Dogs (Review) in 2021

Our pick of the crop, Nymbl Brand’s Elevated Booster Bath in large size for pet bathing is light enough to be easily portable, so you can position it wherever is best for washing your dog. It comes in two pieces, the bath tub itself and snap-on legs, which raises the dog wash tub to a height that’s comfortable for owners to work on cleaning their dogs without too much bending. The snap-on legs are also fitted with rubber feet to avoid slippage while your dog is getting into or out of the bath, or while it is in use.

Because the bath is free-standing, you can have full access to your dog from all sides, making it easy to ensure you don’t miss a bit. There’s a three-point restraint included which allows you to make sure your pet doesn’t abandon ship mid-bath. This features a quick-release removable collar, so there’s no fumbling around when bath time is at an end. A non-slip mat is fitted to prevent your dog losing his footing or slipping and hurting himself while in the water; and you can keep everything you need close to hand with the included shampoo caddy.

Check out our detailed review.

Suitable for medium and small sized pets, this dog bath tub supports weights of up to 150 pounds. Check the measurements closely to ensure that your pooch fits well within. Sturdy and durable, it has been very highly ranked by previous customers. The basin has been crafted using heavy-duty plastic, while the legs are made of stainless steel.

One of the top features is the 360-degree access, which allows you to bathe your pet from any angle. You can adjust the legs for uneven flooring, and the whole tub is lightweight and easy to move around from place to place as needed.

The Flying Pig Stainless Steel Professional Pet Dog Grooming Bath Tub is certainly the most expensive on our list. However, it contains a whole host of features that mark it out as a great product for owners who are serious about their dogs or individuals who carry out dog grooming for a living. Constructed out of 16 gauge 304 type Stainless Steel, which is rust resistant, this product is built to last and is sturdy enough to withstand a lifetime’s worth of doggie bath times. As well as being easy to clean, all joints are fully sealed to prevent leakage while in use, including the door; which is easy to operate and securely locked while closed.

The unit has a ramp for allowing dogs to enter without owners having to do any heavy lifting. The floor panels of the bath tub are height-adjustable, so smaller dogs can be raised higher up to avoid their humans having to suffer back pain from reaching down for long periods.

Splash panels to the side and rear of the unit are removable, if desired, to allow 360^o access to the dog while bathing. A stainless steel rack for shampoo and other tools is included, as is a drain kit for emptying the water out when bath-time is done. Additionally, there’s a hair trap for the plug hole to avoid that becoming clogged with loose dog hair.

Another bath tub that offers 360-degree access for cleaning, you can fit medium and smaller pets inside. All the materials used to make the bath are heavy-duty and long-lasting including the basin and legs. You can adjust the leveller if your floor is uneven and you need to make things level again.

As for style, many people love the Royal blue color scheme. When you need to drain the bath of water, you can simply connect the direct drain hose. Since the tub only comes in a single piece, you just need to snap on the legs and it is ready for use.

Similar to the first bath on our list, this unit is X-large sized to accommodate even the biggest of breeds, like Newfoundlands, Great Pyrenees and Bernese Mountain Dogs – any pet, in fact, up to a weight of 175lbs.

The unit features a one-piece tub with non-slip, bolt-on legs for added sturdiness and security when your dog is getting in or out of the bath. It’s important, especially when bathing larger dogs, that owners don’t suffer from back strain or muscle fatigue, and the raised legs mean you can stand naturally while washing down your pet. There’s a non-slip mat on the floor of the bath to prevent feet sliding when wet; and a three-point harness which will hold your dog securely in place while he’s being bathed. This prevents him from turning round or jumping out, which could cause unwelcome accidents.

A shampoo caddy holds that and other items in place for fast access and the fan spray nozzle will make wetting your dog and rinsing him off afterwards a breeze. The unit is free-standing, so owners can move around 360^o while washing their dogs down. Without water, it’s also lightweight enough to be moved around from location to location in the garden or home, provided drainage is accessible. When not in use, the bath’s legs can be unbolted for easier storage and the whole unit is UV light protected, so it can be stored out of doors without perishing if this is more convenient.

From the same manufacturer as the third bath on our list, this 38” stainless steel dog tub is ideal for washing and grooming smaller pets, up to 220lbs in weight. Like that bath, this one is constructed from 16 gauge 304, rust-resistant Stainless Steel and all joints and plates are securely sealed to be water-tight. The stainless steel surface also makes the unit easy to keep clean and guarantees longevity.

The dog wash sink itself is raised on stainless steel legs which are height-adjustable so you can position it at the perfect height for your own requirements, preventing backache. The legs can also be levelled if you position the bath on an uneven floor. Backsplash and side-splash panels can be removed if you want 360^o access to your pet while washing him.

If you struggle with your back when bending over to bath your smaller dog, then this cute looking bath station could well be your solution. Portable, lightweight yet stable when erected, the Furesh Wash Station can even fit inside your own bath or shower to give you easy access to both water and your pet.  The elevated tub section raises your dog nicely, so you take away the strain from your back and knees. And you can secure your slippery pooch inside, thanks to the three-point leash restraint. There is no door access but as it is designed for smaller pooches (up to 40 pounds), lifting your dog inside should be stress free. And two convenient side pockets will help to keep all your bathing kit and shampoos easily close to hand.

What we like about the Furesh is the attached stretchable hose so you can drain away the water and the center handle which pulls up to collapse the whole bath station when your dog is done, for easy storage or transport. This wash station may not fit in all bathtubs, as it needs a flat surface for the feet to make a secure contact but for most households with smaller dogs this could well be your dog bathing solution.

This Pet Gear dog bathing tub has been developed to cover many bases at bath time. They have included a shelved area that contains two storage tray spaces to allow you to keep your dog’s shampoo and other bathing supplies within reach. It’s common knowledge that a lot of dogs hate bath time, not unlike cats! Sometimes it’s the sound if you’re using the showerhead, sometimes it’s the feeling of being trapped inside a big tub of water. Having a smaller tub like this can help alleviate the stress of bathtime. Especially seeing as Pet Gear has designed this tub to have transparent sides, for a more open feel.

Another reason many dogs become anxious at bathtime is because of their inability to keep their footing, which triggers a fight or flight response at the prospect of falling beneath the water and drowning (even if the water is only a few inches deep). This tub has got a rubberized bottom on the interior to prevent them from slipping, long with two tethers to help keep them secure. Combined, these two elements should help your pup to feel much safer whilst you clean away the grime of the day.

If you’re looking for a dog tub with all the bells and whistles, this is pretty much the best you can get. PawBest has created a tub entirely design to match the specifications of professional grooming stations. With a faucet and sprayer included to hose down your dog quickly and easily. This tub also includes a ramp that leads up to the sliding door and can be tucked underneath the tub when not in use, as well as an anti-slip mat, and two tethering loops for extra security.

This would be the ideal purchase for dog owners with multiple dogs, or dog foster carers, as it is designed to suit all breeds and sizes. We do advise that you take into account the size of this setup before committing to purchase, as it is 15” deep and 50 inches wide, so you will need to ensure you have the correct space for installation. However, if you are able to install this top-of-the-line tub, you wouldn’t need anything else for bathing your puppy (except shampoo of course).

Finally, we have this special pet wash enclosure, which you can easily hook up to any faucet in the house. You can use both the jets and the shower wand at the same time for even more effective cleaning. The entry and exit doors make it easy to load your dog inside and get them out again. Plus, there are six mist jets. As always, check the dimensions closely to ensure that your dog fits properly inside.
