An animal grooming tool (10, 10', 10'') that allows a user to spray an
animal with a liquid and squeegee excess water from the animal. Spraying
and squeegeeing may be performed substantially simultaneously with one
another in one motion, if desired. The grooming tool includes a tubular
body (14) having a plurality of liquid outlets (22) located along the
length of the tool. The body defines a central passageway (18) for
conveying liquid to the outlets. Scrapers (42) for providing the tool
with its squeegee capability are located adjacent the liquid outlets. The
grooming tool further includes a handle region (54) and a grip (58)
adjacent one end of the body. A portion of the body is curved to form a
concave region (20) so that the tool better conforms to the curved
surfaces typically found on the animals groomed with the tool.
