The hardest part of grooming at home was never the grooming. It was holding them still. This solves that first.
1
Unfold it
One motion. The frame locks open on its own — no tools, no assembly, no instructions to lose.
2
Lift them in
Set your pet on the sling and slip each leg through an opening. Their weight settles onto the mesh, not onto you.
3
Clip and go
Click the straps over their back and adjust. Now both your hands are free — and they are not going anywhere.
Works for bathing, nail trims, brushing, drying, ear cleaning and medication.

Milo used to flatten himself against the tub the second he heard water. Now he just lies there. I did his nails alone for the first time in two years.

I bought it for the dog and ended up using it on the cat. Zero scratches. I still cannot quite believe it.

Drying used to take two of us and end in a soaked bathroom. Now it is a ten minute job on my own, and it folds behind the door.

Questions, answered
Is it comfortable for my pet?
The sling is breathable mesh that supports them under the chest and belly, so their weight is spread out instead of hanging from a collar or being pinned by your arm. Most pets settle within a few seconds. Introduce it calmly the first time and keep sessions short.
What size pets does it fit?
It is built for small dogs and cats — think Maltese, Shih Tzu, dachshund, terrier, poodle mix, and most house cats. It is not intended for large or heavy breeds.
Will it hold if my pet struggles?
Yes. The iron X-frame locks open and the four adjustable straps distribute their movement across the whole frame rather than one point. The leg openings keep their paws below the sling and away from your hands.
How small does it fold?
It collapses like a camp stool into a slim flat bundle in one motion — it slides behind a door, under the sink, or into a closet. No disassembly.
Can I use it in the shower or tub?
Yes. The frame is powder-coated and the mesh sling is quick-drying. The sling also unclips completely so you can rinse it and hang it to dry.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship within 1–2 business days. Delivery is typically 7–12 days. Orders over $70 ship free.
What if it does not work for us?
Return it within 30 days for a full refund. If your pet will not settle in it, we would rather give your money back than have it sit in a cupboard.

Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 24 reviews.
Arrived quicker than expected and needed no assembly at all — literally unfold it and clip the sling. My scruffy little terrier now sits and waits by it, which tells you everything.
My Westie needs eye drops twice a day and it was a daily battle. Ten seconds in this and it's done, no chasing, no stress for either of us. Bought it for baths and use it mostly for medication.
Used it on a rescue kitten who was terrified of being handled. Being supported instead of held down made an enormous difference to her. She's calm about grooming now at six months.
We wash our Boston outside in summer and it works just as well on the patio as in the bathroom. Legs are stable on the slabs and hosing him down is finally a one-person job.
Bought two — one for me and one for my sister, and the bundle price made it a no-brainer. Got one blue and one pink so we don't mix them up when she borrows mine. Both perfect.
Honestly bought it half expecting a bulky thing I'd resent storing. It folds down to nothing and lives in the gap next to the dryer. Takes about three seconds to set up.
Pug wrinkles need cleaning properly and he will not hold still for it. This solved that. Also great for rinsing — he can't spin around and soak me mid-pour.
Persian coat, daily combing, previously impossible. She tolerates about four minutes on my lap and then she's gone. In this she gives me fifteen. Mats are basically gone now.
He fell asleep in it. I'm not joking — he was so relaxed with his weight off his legs that he dozed off halfway through brushing. Never expected that from a grooming product.
Blow drying a poodle used to take 40 minutes and end with water on every wall. Now I clip her in, dry one section at a time, and she's done in fifteen. The bathroom stays dry too.
Cat is jet black so nail trims used to be guesswork with him thrashing. This holds him still enough to actually see the quick. Took him two sessions to stop complaining but he's fine with it now.
Ear cleaning was the thing I always skipped because he'd shake his head and bolt. Straps on, both hands free, done in two minutes. Vet actually commented his ears looked better.
The deshedding alone paid for it. My Pom leaves half her coat on the sofa every spring and I could never brush her properly because she'd squirm off my lap. Not anymore.
Long-haired cat, shedding season, previously a nightmare. I got through his whole undercoat in one sitting and the amount of fur that came out was frankly disturbing. He didn't fight it once.
My chihuahua is 2.5kg and I worried she'd be too small. She fits fine — I just tightened the straps. Nail trims used to take both of us twenty minutes, now it's five and I do it alone.
She looks like she's at a spa. Genuinely. Used to be a wrestling match and now she just settles in and waits. My husband didn't believe me until he saw it.
Dachshund with a long back, so I was nervous about anything that lifts him. The mesh actually supports his belly properly instead of letting him sag. Drying him afterwards is easy now.
I bought this for the dog. The cat turned out to be the one who needed it. Zero scratches for the first time ever and her claws are finally short. Still slightly stunned.
Works great for our Frenchie. He's on the heavier end of what I'd trust it with so I keep a hand on him, but it holds fine and bath time went from a two-person job to one. Only reason it's 4 stars is I wish the straps were a touch longer.
My Yorkie hates being brushed and would spin in circles until I gave up. Once her legs are through the holes she just stands there and lets me get through the whole coat. Total game changer for mats.
Two years of paying the groomer $65 just to cut Bailey's nails. First night with this I did all four paws myself while he sat there like it was nothing. Wish I'd found it sooner.
