The second enclosure is provided with a blower for introducing a stream of heated air thereinto. A gate is mounted in the common wall between the two enclosures for selectively permitting the dog to leave the first enclosure to enter the second enclosure. Control mechanism is provided in the second enclosure for automatically activating the blower when the dog passes from the first enclosure to the second enclosure.The shower enclosure is provided with opposed side walls, one of which is the common wall shared with the drying enclosure, and with top and rear walls. The top and rear walls are pivotably connected and the top wall is pivotably connected to the side wall opposite the common wall.
