The size of the sprayer you got looks perfect to make the rinse job even quicker than a standard hand held shower head. I have a small pet specific hand held shower I paid about 15-20 for and it makes rinsing easy, I can put the pressure on full blast and it gets to the skin. So much more fast and effective than a cup. I do still use a sponge flooded with water to rinse the muzzle and above/between the eyes.
I wash in the laundry sink, and if I had room for a stool to sit while I washed, it would be perfect. But the space is too tight when I tried it, so I have to stand and do some bending to get the lower legs and feet.
In fact putting a freestanding laundry sink in a bathtub could be a good alternative to the flying pig pet tub.
I have this model of laundry sink and would work for toy or mini poodles. I just measured the bottom dimensions of the legs, they’re 18.5x17” which should be able to fit in a standard tub. The legs simply sit it a groove so I think they could be detached for storing the tub away. Lightweight at 12lb. $30 at Lowe’s or Home Depot.

This option would work for standard poodles. The inner dimensions are slightly bigger than the flying pig tub but it’s deeper so more secure for bigger dogs. Also has detachable legs and could sit in a standard bathtub. Weighs 25 lb, which I assume is heavier than the flying pig tub. $74.

of course lies the problem of storage, which would also be tricky with the flying pig bathtub. But wanted to throw the idea out there.
