This has the following disadvantages. Pets vary in size, for example, cats and small dogs have body heights around 20 centimeters, and large dogs exceed 70 centimeters. Similarly, humans washing pets vary in height and size. Nevertheless, the conventional washing apparatus cannot adjust the height of the floorboard at all, or only to a limited extent, so that the washing person cannot do so, especially when shampooing tall pets. I was forced to take a good posture and it was very difficult to wash.
Also, depending on the size of the pet, some washing and drying equipment was required.

[0004] The floor plate of the washing device is slippery, and the pet is nervous and anxious and moves around, which makes it very difficult to wash.

[0005] Since the washing device and the dryer are separate, when the pet is dried after washing, the pet must be transferred from the washing device to the dryer, and a place for installing the pet is required. In addition, long-haired pets and large dogs take a considerable amount of time to dry, and after they have dried, they have to be taken out of the dryer and brushed, which requires more time and space.

When cleaning, drying, and brushing a pet, a large amount of hair comes off more than imagined, so cleaning and cleaning the inside of the cleaning device and its surroundings is a serious task.
In some cases, the hairs adhere to humans and inhale the flying hairs, and pipes are often clogged during sewage treatment.

While washing pets, hot water is frequently turned on and off. However, since the operation of the shower is troublesome, the hot water is easily left out. Work was hindered by the hose and the shower was painful.

For the reasons described above, even if a cleaning device and a dryer for exclusive use of a pet are installed, it is often inconvenient to use the pet at a place other than a specialty store such as a pet beauty salon. Cleaning and drying by unfamiliar people, women, or the elderly was a laborious and physical burdensome task. The present invention has been made to eliminate these disadvantages.
