Abstract
The portable washing apparatus for animals has a base and an opposite lid that combine to form a container. The base has a floor and walls to store and to release water, and straps to secure temporarily a pet such as a dog. The lid fits upon the base and over a pet therein. The apparatus includes at least one pair of gloves that have a watertight connection to openings in the base and the lid. A sprayer system connected to the base allows an owner to direct water upon all parts of a pet. The lid and base contain wash water from a pet so the owner avoids a soaking and the pet can be washed indoors or outdoors.
