Dog grooming table

I need to groom the dog almost daily and was thinking in investing in a table - has to be folding as nowhere to keep it permanently

Specialist tables range from £40 to over a £100 for non-elect ( I only need a manual folding table)

Anyone here can recommend one or another (non dog specific) folding table that will do the job? Must be over a meter long as the dog is biggish as per below:

I'm afraid getting a chest freezer is going to cost me more than a table....what dog have you got anyway

I need to trim an Airedale. If you have something like a workmate, fixing a shelf on top of it does the trick.

What is an Airedale? Google says a place in Yorkshire but I'm sure that's not what you meant.

EDit: Sorry just seen -Airedale terrier. Nice looking dog

What about a camping table?

Some suitable ones on amazon for £22 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oypla-Folding-Out...lp_pl_dp_1

Hank - not looking for the cheapest - just recommendations from other users.
Those camping tables would not take the weight of a dog.

Will probably go for this one, but wanted to check what others were using before I pulled the trigger on it

We use a large seed tray (I think that's what it's supposed to be). About the length of a sofa. Place it on the dining table or kitchen worktop. The raised edges stop most of the hair being distributed around the room.

If you're grooming every day, what about making a hinged table on a wall (in garage/back garden)?

I'm just thinking the effort of putting a folding table up and down everyday is going to get laborious? Or use the back of the 110? James

I'd need a step to groom that lot - apart from the little guy of course

Currently using the garden table which is fine but I need to be prepared for inclement weather.

Anyway, have ordered a folding table - one I linked to earlier.

Really it is so the missus can take over dog grooming duties

We use a Croft table for our whippets https://www.croftonline.co.uk/fixed-height...les-1.html they do sell the top that can be set up on top of a dog cage.
