Quick Answer
The Shorty AXL is a 15-inch Biothane grooming loop designed for small dogs and tight grooming spaces. It offers the same patented reliability as the full-size AXL in a more portable package.
Why Choose a Shorter Loop?
A shorter loop gives you more control in confined areas like a small grooming table or mobile van. The 15-inch length reduces excess strap that can get in the way when working with small breeds. It also makes the tool easier to pack and carry between stations.
Biothane Construction and Durability
Biothane is a coated webbing that resists water, odors, and bacteria better than nylon or leather. It wipes clean quickly and won't absorb grooming chemicals or fur. The Shorty AXL uses heavy-duty stitching and a proprietary buckle that places extra tension on the metal slider for a secure hold.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Shorty AXL
What size dog is the Shorty AXL best for?
The Shorty AXL works best for small to medium dogs that fit comfortably within a 15-inch loop. It is not ideal for large or giant breeds that need a longer reach or more wrap-around space.
Can I use the Shorty AXL in a mobile grooming van?
Yes. Its compact length makes it a great choice for tight workspaces like mobile vans, small grooming stations, or home setups where every inch counts.
How do I clean and maintain the Shorty AXL?
Wipe the Biothane strap with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. The fixed O-ring and metal slider do not require lubrication. Inspect the stitching and buckle regularly for wear. Replace the loop if you notice frayed stitching or a loose buckle.
Is the Shorty AXL adjustable?
The loop length is fixed at 15 inches, but the proprietary buckle allows you to adjust the fit around the dog's body. The metal slider provides extra tension to keep the loop secure once set.
What colors are available for the Shorty AXL?
The Shorty AXL comes in multiple color options. Check the product page for current available colors to match your grooming kit or personal preference.
