I am a dog groomer and the building I recently moved in was used as a Beauty Shop. The drain that my bathing tub is supposed to hook up at is located too high. I know the water will not drain uphill. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this issue? I cannot put a drain in the floor due to concrete slab. I don’t care about passing inspection or code, only if it will work. Thank you.

Move the tub’s connection to the drain lower at the wall (may need to make a hole) or put the dog tub higher. There are not a lot of options here.
If all else fails then a solution would be to drain the tub into a container on the floor and have an electric (or manual) pump to pump the water into the drain as it gets close to full.
