The invention relates to apparatus and a method for performing cleaning, treatment and/or drying of an animal, such as a pet animal, with the apparatus including a housing and base defining a cavity in which the said animal is located, a supply of liquid, means for dispensing the liquid into the said cavity and onto the said animal and a drainage assembly to allow the liquid to be removed from the said cavity. Drying means can also be provided to allow the animal's coat to be dried whilst in the cavity.

Animal handling assistance system and methods are disclosed, including an animal handling assistance apparatus, comprising: a body panel; first, second, third, and fourth appendage pouches extending from side portions of the body panel receivable of appendages of an animal. The first, second, third, and fourth appendage pouches each have a proximal portion and a distal portion, with an opening on the proximal portion and on the same side as the inside surface of the body panel, with at least one pouch fastener on the distal portion attachable to the outside surface of the body panel such that at least one of first, second, third, and fourth appendage of the animal is restrainable against the body of the animal.

A veterinary Elizabethan Collar is provided that when unconstructed resembles a semi-circular shape. When the collar is constructed, it is in the shape of a truncated cone. The collar includes receivers on one side and tab mechanisms on the other side such that when the receivers are placed over receiving mechanisms to form a collar of a desired size, the receiver members can be selectively engaged with the tab mechanisms. The collar may also include collar stays that can be selectively attached to an animal's existing collar to help keep the Elizabethan collar in place.

The present invention relates to the method for creating false teeth for animals which enables the prevention of teeth abrasion. This invention describes a hardening agent which when exposed to UV light source gets harden and create a protective covering over the teeth of the animal. This protective covering act as false teeth for animal and enable them to chew the food properly and thus secure their longer life span.

The present invention provides improved systems and methods for flushing out animal footbaths at remote locations which do not have a reliable or high pressure water supply. Embodiments of the flushing systems of the present invention preferably include at least one fluid pressurizing pump and one or more large fluid storage tanks which receive water from a source and place it under pressure for use in the system. Embodiments of the flushing systems of the present invention are capable of automatically: taking in water from a low pressure water source; pumping the water into one or more storage tanks to place it under pressure; preventing backflow of the pressurized water; storing the pressurized water until one or more footbaths requires flushing; performing a flushing operation by opening a master valve or a series of valves in parallel; controlling whether the pressurized water remains untreated by flowing through a flush tube or becomes treated with one or more cleaning or disinfecting compounds by flowing through a mixing pipe in communication with one or more chemical tanks, the pressurized water flowing into and flushing out the one or more fouled footbaths; filling the footbaths with fresh disinfecting solution; refilling and re-pressurizing the one or more storage tanks for the next flushing operation; and blowing out any remaining moisture from the system of pipes to reduce bacterial growth and prevent pipe-bursting in freezing weather.

A pet grooming tool for grooming a furry pet. The pet grooming tool includes a handle portion and multiple pet engageable portions. The handle portion has a head portion, and each pet engageable portion is secured to the head portion. Each of the pet engageable portions comprises a plurality of teeth arranged in a row and a plurality of edge segments with a gap between each adjacent pair of teeth.

The present invention is a distinctive pet grooming glove which provides a fluid supply to allow users to wash and/or groom pets using a single gloved hand while a stream of fluid (such as water) flows from the glove. The Pet Grooming Glove includes an attachment port for attaching a source of primary fluid (such as water) as well as apertures in the glove which allow the primary fluid to flow from the primary supply source port to the palm of the glove. Additionally the Pet Grooming Glove includes an attachment port for attaching a source of secondary fluid (such as shampoo) as well as apertures in the glove which allow the secondary fluid to flow from the secondary fluid supply port to the palm of the glove.

There is also provided a self-sustainable body-cooling garment for cooling a body portion of a human or an animal adapted to use the air pumping footwear and a cooling system for cooling the human or animal's body. There is provided a footwear comprising an air pump adapted to pump air when worn by a human or an animal during a pedestrian movement and to store or direct the pumped air for use by a cooling system for cooling the pumped air and using the cooled air for cooling the human or the animal. There is also provided a cooling system comprising an air pump adapted to be embedded within a footwear and a nozzle adapted to cool air pumped using the footwear when worn by a human or animal during a pedestrian movement.
