A dedicated low platform for brushing, washing and nail trimming — the thing most dog parks do not have and every owner ends up doing on the tailgate of their car.

It sits low on purpose. Nobody has to lift a dog onto it, and a big dog is not being asked to jump. Dogs of any size step on and off themselves.

The deck is perforated steel with a paw print pattern, and the holes are functional — water drains straight through instead of pooling on the surface. That matters if anyone is actually washing a dog on it.
