Different Materials to Consider in a Dog Grooming Table Before Buying

It is easy to get caught up with the different functions and sizes when it comes to the best dog grooming table. Our priorities tend to lie in the ease of use – especially when choosing between hydraulic and electric models – as well as the security for the dog. However, the choice of materials and the construction of the tables play a big part in this decision. Different brands choose different materials across the design in order to fulfill their sales aims. Owners need to note the difference before they buy.Pomeranian Dog Getting Haircut at Salon

The first material to consider here is stainless steel

This is one of the more common materials for both of these hydraulic and electric models because this strong metal supports the weight allowance and meets most construction needs. These mechanical tables need a strong, well made frame that will rise and fall with ease. In addition to this, the table top and additional elements also need to be strong, durable and reliable. Stainless steel has that sense of reliability as it should last much longer than other materials. This is why many of the larger models for bigger breeds are made from this material. However, buyers must remember that the use of steel does lead to a much heavier table. It won’t be so easy to move this one around, and will probably sit out as a permanent fixture in the home.

The alternative to stainless steel is aluminum

While stainless steel dog grooming tables are tough, heavy substantial pieces of equipment, aluminum ones offer a different approach. Here we have a strong material that is much lighter and more manageable. This is perfect for all those that need a portable table. There is no way that a stainless steel hydraulic table will follow you to a dog show. An aluminum dog grooming table has a light enough weight, and often a folding structure, so there is no concern about grooming away from home. Aluminum may not be as durable, but it should hold up pretty well.

Other examples of choices of materials in a dog grooming table

The use of materials within the frame isn’t the only example of choice of materials in a dog grooming table. Another factor that all dog owners need to consider is the surface of the table. Any steel or aluminum table will have a shiny, slippery surface that is no good for unsteady paws and claws. This is where you need a durable rubber surface with good traction. Tables with paw print rubber surfaces or other designs aren’t just there to look pretty. Then there is the material of any restraint that may come with the table. Is it comfortable, or will it need to be replaced with something more suitable.

Read specifications and reviews carefully to understand the materials of the best dog grooming tables

It is important to know precisely what materials are used in the frame of the table to understand how robust and reliable it is. The same is true for the surface. Check the specifications of all tables you look at, but also read the user reviews. Other owners will quickly warn others if the frame is flimsy, the surface is slippery or there are other construction issues.
