An animal bathing system includes a tub that that is selectively filled with a fluid thereby facilitating an animal to be bathed in the tub. A pair of tethering units is provided and each of the tethering units suctionally engages the outer wall of the tub. In this way each of the tethering units is removably retained on the tub. Each of the tethering units is removably coupled to the animal thereby inhibiting the animal from escaping the tub when the animal is bathed.
