Abstract
The pet grooming enclosure resembles an animal carrier that includes a plurality of suction nozzles located within an interior of the animal carrier. The plurality of suction nozzles collectively connects to a manifold that is connected to a vacuum and motor. The plurality of suction nozzles is adapted to draw out moisture and loose hair or fur from within the animal carrier, but without actually coming into contact with an animal positioned within the animal carrier. The animal carrier includes a sliding tray that is presented along the bottom of the animal carrier. In use, the sliding tray is positioned inside of the animal carrier such that an animal is adaptively positioned on the sliding tray. The sliding tray is adapted to collect water and debris from within the animal carrier, and subsequently slide out of the animal carrier in order to discard the water and debris.
