This invention pertains to an improvement in animal waste bags, wherein the animal waste bag is configured to hold multiple wastes in one bag and mask the tactile sensation during retrieval of multiple wastes. A wall of an animal waste bag may include a surface modification that masks the feel, temperate, and/or sensation of the animal waste during retrieval. An animal waste bag may include three or more walls, separating the bag into two or more pouches, each of which can hold animal waste.

One example embodiment is a waste collection and storage device, comprising: (a) a disposable container with a body and a base; (b) a plurality of panels extended from the base, each of the panels has a panel distal end extending away from the body, the panel distal ends of the panels pointing inwardly and defining an opening therebetween in an open state; and (c) at least one locking mechanism disposed on at least one of the panels. When a force is applied on the body to the panel distal ends against a target surface having a waste, the panel distal ends move inwards towards each other and in turn close up the opening to form a closed state, and the body and the panels together create a cavity, such that the waste can be scooped up from the target surface and accommodated within the cavity. The locking mechanism locks the panels in the closed state to store the waste within the cavity. Other example embodiments are described herein. In certain embodiments, the waste collection and storage device is simple in structure and cost-efficient in manufacturing.

A moisture detecting article includes a moisture detection module secured to a garment, intended to contain and hold bodily fluids excreted by an animal. The moisture detection module is connectable to a moisture sensor disposed in the garment to detect when bodily fluid is excreted. If moisture is detected, the moisture sensitive detection module enables one or more signals, alarming the animal and its caretaker. The garment includes a moisture absorbent material, detachable from the garment for disposal of the excretion.

Provided is an absorbent article for a pet animal being capable of prevent urine leaking out of a tail opening. The absorbent article includes a cutting line forming the fail opening positioned on a dorsal region side in an intermediate region and an indicator positioned on a body non-facing surface of an absorbent layer and to show a color reaction by coming in contact with excreted urine. The absorbent layer is positioned between the cutting line and a ventral region. The absorbent core has a first end edge and a second end edge opposite to the first end edge in a longitudinal direction, and the indicator is positioned longitudinally outboard of at least the first end edge of the first end edge and the second end edge.

Method and apparatus including a scoop having an elongated frame with handle at the top for manipulating the the bottom of the scoop along the ground at the location of excrement to be scooped. The frame includes a bifurcated double pole section to which a disposable bag may be attached. The bag has an opening which faces the front of a rotatable paddle located at the end of the single pole part of the frame. The rotatable paddle is operated via a switch located adjacent the top handle. A shield is positioned about the paddle to prevent excrement being directed rearwardly of the frame. The rotatable paddle includes at least one but preferably two and more preferably three paddles which are spaced about a central axle which itself extends perpendicular to the single pole part of the frame.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article for pets that fits the body of a pet in an excellent manner and is able to properly absorb liquid bodily waste such as urine. This absorbent article (1) for pets has mutually perpendicular longitudinal, width and thickness directions and is worn in such a way that the longitudinal direction extends around the body of a pet. The absorbent article (1) for pets comprises an absorbent body (4) that is provided with a deformation guide part (40) extending in a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction in a plan view.

A hygienic self-cleaning animal dropping collection and transfer device to collect and transfer an animal's droppings includes a support assembly having a support member with a handle on one end. A collection assembly is mounted to a lower portion of the support member and has a collection tray dimensioned to be positioned under a rear portion of an animal to collect the animal's droppings thereon. A cover assembly includes a cover member which is disposable between an open collection orientation and a closed transfer orientation relative to the collection assembly. A dispenser assembly includes a reservoir containing an amount of a cleaning fluid mounted to a portion of the support assembly, the dispenser assembly having a dispenser nozzle operable to dispense an amount of the cleaning fluid onto the collection tray. An illumination assembly may be mounted to a portion of the device for use at night.

A system suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person or animal may include an assembly having a fluid impermeable casing having a fluid reservoir at a first end, a fluid outlet at a second end, and a longitudinally extending fluid impermeable layer coupled to the fluid reservoir and the fluid outlet and defining a longitudinally elongated opening between the reservoir and the outlet. The assembly can further include a fluid permeable support disposed within the casing with a portion extending across the elongated opening, and a fluid permeable membrane disposed on the support and covering at least the portion of the support that extends across the elongated opening, so that the membrane is supported on the support and disposed across the elongated opening. The assembly can further include a tube having a first end disposed in the reservoir and a second, fluid discharge end.
