Wall Mount Grooming Arm

I have never actually used one of these but have seen them in use. Most often they are used for drying stations wherein a long section of wall will have a table base or shelf that runs its length and every 3 feet or so will be partitioned so as to create individual areas where bathers can dry dogs. It allows the user the ability to restrain a dog via groomers noose without having to have an actual grooming table. In my opinion this is a space saving accessory that has its own little niche for pet grooming shops with limited space or for grooming shops that employ a large number of bathers that may need to perform different tasks on multiple dogs simultaneously. I could certainly see it being improved upon by adding a folding upper arm to eliminate the upper bar from the space when not needed. The only other major drawback that I see to this item is that it is not a good ‘after thought’ accessory, or to say it better an accessory that is easily added to an existing grooming shop.

This is an item that (in order to make it aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound) needs to be considered in the initial design and construction phase of a grooming shop. As it screws or bolts to the wall it will require a solid anchor point, this would typically be a wall stud unless the shop owner is fortunate enough to have masonry walls where they wish to attach it. Since it is unlikely that in an existing shop the studs in the wall will correspond with the desired location of this item it is important that you know its location prior to build out. This way studs and/or scab boards can be placed behind the wall surface (drywall/tile) so as the anchor points for the wall mount grooming arm will be in place when it is to be installed. The alternative way to install it would be to run a board (scab board) across the outside of the wall face so that, that board can be anchored to the existing wall studs and then the wall mount grooming arm can be attached to this outer board; not ideal and it looks somewhat thrown together.
