Folding Grooming Arms
Folding Grooming Arms
This is the type of grooming arm I prefer over all others, especially when it has the telescoping feature. The reason being is that it allows you to swing the upper arm out of the way when not in use. Why this is important is that it gives you the ability to have multiple staff members work with on a single dog without the issue of the arm getting in the way or poking somebody in the face. Many times you will have a dog that has to be soothed, held or restrained by an assistant, this may be as simple as wrapping their arms around its neck and shoulders to hug/sooth the dog or may be as physically demanding as forcibly placing the animal on its side and holding it there with body weight while the required task is performed. While this may sound over the top, in many instances physically restraining an aggressive or particularly recalcitrant animal by placing it on its side and holding it there so as it cannot move will prevent it from injuring itself by thrashing about, and from biting or otherwise causing injury to your staff. In instances such as these where things including people are getting tossed around it is excellent to be able to fold the arm up and out of the way. Other times that this feature proves useful is when you have something like a simple nail trim or other mundane activity that does not require the animal to be noosed. Additionally many groomers will fill out their grooming cards, clean their tools or perform other job related activities that do not require the arm at all, in those cases being able to fold it out of the way so you can have full use of the vertical space above the table is a nice feature to have. 2017 prices are $50.00-$120.00 depending upon the quality and manufacturer.
