Abstract: A system for grooming pets, including a vacuum and brushes. A canister containing the motor and vacuum impeller elements is well insulated acoustically. A lengthy, acoustically insulated vacuum hose is provided. A grooming attachment is attachable to the working end of the vacuum hose, the grooming attachment being molded and shaped to minimize the noise of air flowing through the attachment under the action of the vacuum motor. Noise attenuation assembly and baffling assembly are provided nearby and aligned with air input and output ports to direct and smooth air flow to reduce noise output of the system.
