Grooming Hammock with Stand

Lay out parts A to G, then follow the numbered photo steps in your printed manual. Whatever the order, the stand is ready only when every spring button has clicked, both folding supports (D) are fully open, and every strap is fastened. The full assembly video will play at the top of this page as soon as it is published — the QR code in your manual stays the same.

It is built for cats and small dogs up to 30 lbs — think Maltese, Shih Tzu, Yorkie, Chihuahua, Toy Poodle, or most house cats. Weight is the hard limit; breed is only a guide. If your pet is close to 30 lbs or unusually long in the body, send us their weight and length before the first session and we will tell you whether it suits them.

Use four openings, one per leg, and leave the other four closed. Most cats and toy breeds are comfortable in the small openings; stockier legs or fluffier coats usually need the large ones. Pull each drawstring snug enough that the paw cannot slip back through, but loose enough to slide a finger in.

It helps most pets because their weight is supported and their paws are off the ground, so there is less to push against. It works best when you build up slowly: a few dry, treat-filled minutes on day one, a single paw on day two, and stop the moment your pet panics. A hammock is a support, not a restraint — never use it to hold down a pet that is fighting it.

Yes. The mesh drains, the frame stands on its own in a walk-in shower or on a bathroom floor, and the side pockets keep shampoo within reach. Put a non-slip mat under the stand on wet tile, keep one hand on your pet, and wipe the frame dry afterwards.

A hanging hammock needs a door frame, hook, or grooming arm strong enough to hold a moving pet — and it swings. This one has its own freestanding frame, so you can set it up in the bathroom, laundry room, or backyard, and fold it away when you are done.

A table gives your pet a surface to stand on, which suits brushing and full haircuts on calm dogs. A hammock lifts all four paws off the ground, which is what makes nail trims and baths easier with wriggly cats and small dogs. If nail trims and baths are the main jobs, the hammock is usually the simpler tool.

Usually it is a spring button that has not clicked or a folding support that is not fully open. Re-check both, make sure all four anti-slip clips (E) are on, and move the stand to a level spot. If a part is bent or a button will not lock, stop using it and contact us for a replacement.

Tighten the adjustable straps (F) so the mesh is taut, and pick openings that match your pet's body length: the large openings sit at the outer ends for bigger pets, the small ones closer together for smaller pets. A loose hammock sags in the middle, which lets pets slide.

Unsnap the mesh hammock and machine wash it in a laundry bag; wipe the frame dry. Once everything is completely dry, take your pet away, fold the stand, and store it. Keep your fingers clear of the folding joints as it closes.

Don't use the stand with a damaged part. Send us your order number and a photo through the contact form and we will replace it. Registering your warranty first speeds this up.
