A pet waste collection device for collecting and discarding animal waste is provided. The device comprises a shaft with a vacuum head mounted to the shaft. A vacuum motor is mounted within the vacuum head. A nozzle is connected to the shaft and the vacuum motor provides a suction to the second end of the nozzle. A retractable claw member having a plurality of extendable claw fingers extends from the nozzle. A waste bag is positioned within the claw member. An access port is formed in the vacuum handle. Upon collection of the pet waste in the waste bag, the claw fingers close as the claw member retracts into the nozzle, the open end of the waste bag closing shut. The bagged pet waste is suctioned by the vacuum motor through the shaft to a waste bag receptacle within the vacuum handle and removable from the receptacle through the access port.

A pet waste collector includes an elongated handle extending between a rear end and a front end, a loop situated forwardly of the front end configured so that a waste disposal bag can be fit within the loop, and a (preferably bendable) stem situated between the handle front end and the loop. A pet owner can grasp the handle and situate the loop (and the bag therein) beneath the rear of a dog as the dog squats to excrete waste, thereby catching the waste within the bag. The waste-filled bag may then be removed from the loop for disposal. Bending the stem allows the loop (and bag) to be oriented as the pet owner desires for visibility, and for ease of catching the waste.

In a cover member for pet toilet seats, a base section has on the upper surface thereof a sloped surface that gradually slopes downwards from a first end towards a second end. The sloped surface has: a first sloped section arranged on the first end side of the base section; and a second sloped section that is positioned further on the second end side than the first sloped section, slopes to an end edge of the second end, and has a greater slope than the first sloped section. An end edge section has a sloped surface on the upper surface side thereof that gradually slopes downwards as same becomes further removed from the first end of the base section.

A device for disposal of waste material includes a handle, a shovel blade, and a catch. The device for disposal of waste material is useful for catching and removing pet waste material as the pet is defecating before falling to ground. The device includes a telescoping handle which allows a user to extend the device to the desired height for comfort. The device uses a group of clips to secure a pet waste bag to the catch which allows for easy installation. When the pet defecates a user simply pushes the catch and shovel blade under the pet to catch the waste, then the user may remove the clips and dispose of the used pet waste bag.

An absorbent article has a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and includes: a belly facing region, a back facing region, an intermediate region positioned between the belly facing region and the back facing region in the longitudinal direction, and an absorbent member including an absorbent core. The absorbent member is only disposed in a portion closer to the belly facing region than a cut line in which the tail of a pet is inserted, and includes: both absorbent side edges opposite to each other in the lateral direction, a first absorbent portion facing a urine opening of the pet, and a second absorbent portion facing a portion outside the urine opening, and the absorbent core includes an first narrow portion (interruption portion) configured to interrupt linkage between the first absorbent portion and the second absorbent portion in the longitudinal direction.

A wearable accessory can include one or more retainer arms and a housing. The one or more retainer arms can couple to a wearable article. The housing can define an inner chamber that is sized for receiving component that is coupled to the one or more retainer arms. The housing can move between a closed position and an open position. The housing can protect the component from the environment external to the chamber in the closed position and reveal the component to the environment external to the chamber in the open position.

Provided is an absorbent article for pets that can prevent side leakage of urine.

In an absorbent article for a pet including a liquid permeable inner layer sheet, a liquid impermeable outer layer sheet, and an absorbent core provided between the inner layer sheet and the outer layer sheet, the absorbent core is provided only on a region closer to a belly facing region than a cutting line in which the tail of the pet is inserted, the cutting line being positioned in an intermediate region, and a body facing surface of the inner layer sheet has an area, at least overlapping the absorbent core in plan view, in which a recessed-and-protruded region is positioned, the recessed-and-protruded region including ridges and grooves that are alternately arranged side by side in a lateral direction while extending in a longitudinal direction.

A waste collection apparatus having an absorbent pad having opposing outermost layers, comprising a permeable layer and an opposing substantially leak proof layer; the absorbent pad comprising at least one innermost layer of waste absorbing material sandwiched and completely enclosed between the opposing outermost layers and completely filling a volume therebetween extending to the outer peripheral border, which has an interior passageway, a draw tape therein, and a plurality of outside cut off corners having adjacent interior passageway openings; the draw tape having a length greater than that of the outer peripheral border; the draw tape routed through the adjacent interior passageway openings exposing the draw tape at the outside cut off corners; the waste collection apparatus forming a bag, when the draw tape is pulled taut.
