What the Big Dog Bundle Includes
The Big Dog Bundle combines two essential grooming tools: an Alpha Belly Band and an Alpha AXL Grooming Loop. You choose the belly band's lower size and upper color, and the grooming loop's color. Individually, these items would cost $214.99, but the bundle is priced at $189.99 and saves you $25.
Together, the belly band supports the dog's rear and the grooming loop secures the head, giving you a stable, hands-free setup. This is especially useful for large breeds that need extra support and control during grooming.
Setting Up the Big Dog Bundle for Large Breed Grooming
Follow these steps to set up the bundle for your grooming table.
- 1. Choose the right belly band size and color: The Alpha Belly Band comes in Small (2") and Medium (3") lower sizes. For a large breed, the Medium width typically offers better support. You also pick an upper color — options include Orange, Pink, Lime Green, Black, White, Teal, Blue, Violet, and Dark Blue. Match the color to your grooming setup or personal preference.
- 2. Attach the suction cups: The bundle includes 2 AXT Suction Cups. Place them on a smooth, clean surface — typically the grooming table or a nearby wall — at a height that allows the belly band to cradle the dog's abdomen without lifting the dog off the table.
- 3. Position the belly band: Slip the belly band under the dog's belly, just behind the ribcage. The band should be snug but not tight enough to cause discomfort. Attach the band's straps to the suction cups, adjusting the length so the dog can stand naturally with slight support.
- 4. Set up the Alpha AXL Grooming Loop: Choose your preferred loop color from the available options (same colors as the belly band upper). The loop goes around the dog's neck, behind the ears. Attach it to a grooming arm or another secure point, ensuring the loop is snug but allows the dog to breathe freely and swallow.
- 5. Adjust for comfort and safety: Check that both the belly band and grooming loop are secure but not restrictive. The dog should be able to stand, sit, and shift weight without slipping out. If the dog seems stressed or restricted, loosen the straps and re-adjust.

Choosing the Right Belly Band Size for Your Large Breed
The belly band's lower size determines how much abdominal support it provides. Small (2") is better for smaller dogs or as a lighter support, while Medium (3") offers a wider cradle for larger breeds. If your dog has a deep chest or broad belly, the Medium size is likely the better choice.
The upper color doesn't affect function, but it lets you coordinate with your grooming loop or table setup. Choose a color that's easy to spot or that matches your branding.
Tips for Grooming Large Breeds with the Bundle
Large breeds often require longer grooming sessions. The belly band takes weight off their legs, reducing fatigue, while the grooming loop keeps the head steady for tasks like ear cleaning, nail trimming, or brushing. Because the bundle uses two separate attachment points, you can adjust each independently to find the most comfortable position for your dog.
The suction cups work best on non-porous surfaces. If your grooming table has a textured or matte finish, consider using a smooth plastic sheet or a dedicated suction cup pad. Always test the suction before letting the dog lean into the band.
