Abstract: A brushing stand operable by an animal. The stand includes a base, a tubular stand connected thereto, a body portion extending upward away therefrom, the body portion selectively adjustable up and down. The tubular stand includes an arm portion extending horizontally away from the body portion, with a hand portion at an end of the arm and extending downward. A brush motor is connected to the arm portion and releasably and pivotally attached to the brush extending downward that spins around a vertical axis and also swings around a horizontal arc. An internal fluid pathway extends from the arm portion to the base and a vacuum sucks up animal hair in proximity thereto. A proximity sensor communicates with a controller to turn on the motor and the vacuum when the animal is in proximity to the base.
