How to Rotate a Dog Grooming Table

Grooming tables are a vital piece of equipment for the majority of dog owners. Many breeds require frequent and consistent grooming, and it is much simpler to groom a dog that is elevated on a table than it is to attempt grooming a dog from the floor. A grooming table that rotates can be a lifesaver for a groomer who works in a small area or has a hard time maneuvering around the room.

Things You'll Need

• Pliers
• Screwdriver

Instructions

1. Set up the table in a study, flat area. You do not want your grooming table to rock or fall while you are trying to adjust it.

2. Look under the table for a clamp or arm that will allow your table to rotate. Your table should have a slide-out clamp or a set of removable screws that enable you to turn the top.

3. Loosen the screws or remove the clamp and set it aside. Do not misplace it, as you will need to reattach it after you’ve moved the table.

4. Rotate the tabletop to the desired position. Most tables have the option to rotate 360 degrees, making them easily accessible from all positions.

5. Reinsert the clamp or re-tighten your screws. Be sure that you secure them firmly to avoid the table moving while you are using it.

6. Place your dog on the table to ensure you have placed it in the right position. Adjust as necessary.

Tips & Warnings

• Only groom your dog while the table is in a secure area. Any rocking or movement may frighten your dog and make grooming extremely difficult.

• Do not place your dog on the table until it is fully tightened. A freely rotating platform can be very dangerous to you and your dog.
