Claims

1. Keeping pets is a never-ending task, requiring one to constantly feed, groom, and clean up after their animal friends. Those that keep animals such as dogs and cats Know the importance of a frequent bathing to keep their pet's coat healthy, clean, and fresh smelling. For this bathing process, many take their pet to pet grooming salons which can quickly become expensive. Others may wash their pets in the bathtub which is tough on the back. Still others may wash their pet in a bathroom or kitchen sink if they are small enough, but run the risk of soiling all surfaces, and perhaps causing a hair-clogged drain. In all of these situations, pets such as cats who do not want to be bathed, can scratch or injure the person doing the bathing. Accordingly, there exists a need for a means by which pets such as cats and dogs can be bathed in an easy manner without the disadvantages as described above. The development of the Pet Washing Device fulfills this need.
