Our Best Pick
Bunny Business Dog Grooming Table
This grooming table is stable, foldable, offers adequate space to groom your pets and is of high quality and very stable. It can support the weight of up to 150kgs so no issues regarding the weight it can take. We love the double noose provided so that you can cater to two pets at once. Once your pets are groomed you just fold it away in second. If you have a larger dog such as a german sheperd you may want to upgrade to the larger table though but perfect for smaller and medium sized dogs.

- Features a non-slip mat to prevent pets from falling over.

Pet Grooming Table Buyer Guide
Before buying a grooming table, there are a few questions that you need to ask yourself. Once you have answered these questions you will be able to purchase the best pet grooming table for your own needs and type and size.
What is the size and weight of your pet?
This is a good place to start. The size and weight of your pet will determine what kind of table you will be able to buy. Heavier dog breeds like the English Mastiff or the Great Dane need a grooming tables with stable support and plenty of space. If the table is not fit for the weight of the dog, you will notice that the lifting mechanism installed is unable to work efficiently. Smaller dog breeds are easy to groom as they can be supported easily by standard tables and most will be perfect for small to medium sized dogs, its only when you have a large dog you need to choose the larger tables.
Best Budget Pick
Quick overview: Small, strong and extremely portable. Featuring a basket to keep supplies, it is convenient and easy to store and perfect for small dogs, very well made.
The Milo & Misty 30″ Small Grooming Table makes grooming small pets a walk in the park. Measuring 78L x 48.5W x 76Hcm the table can accommodate up to 100kgs which is 50kg more than some of the other models we have seen. If you have larger pets you may seek the same model in the larger 36″ size.
Sturdy and reliable, this table can also be folded like most other models available. When you are done grooming, you can easily store or transport the folded table with ease. The rubber feet placed at the end of each leg make sure that the table does not move unnecessarily giving it plenty of grip.
It also features an embossed non-slip rubber top which prevents your pet from sliding around the top of slipping. If you have a temperamental animal, the non-slip surface together with the adjustable arm will keep them in position.
There is only one 50cm noose provided for use, not a big issue but some dog owners prefer two nooses so its worth pointing out. To add to the list useable features, there is a small metal basket underneath to allow you to store your supplies and have everything you need to.
Pros
- Built from long-lasting materials.
- Offers adequate stability when grooming pets.
- It can be folded down for easy storage and transportation.
- Features a basket so that you can conveniently reach your tools.
- Has a non-slip surface to prevent accidents.
- Can hold a maximum of 100kgs.

Cons
- The height of the table cannot be adjusted and its only suitable for smaller pets.
Thoughts and recommendations
Affordable and well-constructed, the Milo & Misty Small Grooming Table is a top quality grooming table for pets. The table offers adequate room for grooming, it’s very stable and can support an impressive amount of weight, this is probably down to the quality built as its unlikely you would have a small 100kg pet.
It is a foldable table, which makes moving it around quite easy. Just in case you need a table with more than one noose and roughly the same sized table, you can look at the Bunny Business Adjustable Dog Grooming Table. Either way, your grooming sessions will be worth it.
Overall this is a great well made grooming table for smaller pets with the added benefit of the basket.

Our Final Conclusion
Folding grooming tables have their downsides especially with the height adjustment for the groomers. However, the best portable pet grooming table is not to be weighed down by motors and hydraulic systems. Portable grooming tables are best left simple and available for use whenever needed. Sure you can get the electric models but you definitely will be restricted if there is no power. Besides, it will be a challenge moving electric/hydraulic grooming tables to wherever you go.
Overall all 5 of the grooming tables in our list are worth investing in, its basically comes down to choose the right size for your pet.
