A handheld pet spray wand may be configured for use in washing or bathing a pet, for example, a dog. The handheld pet spray wand may be configured for attachment to a hose that is further attached to a water supply source. The handheld pet spray wand may be operable to have a number of spray modes to assist in the cleaning of the pet. The handheld pet spray wand may further be configured to provide selective nozzle array sizes designed for both small and large pets. The form factor of the spray wand may further be ergonomically formed to provide a spray pattern conforming to the body of the pet.

The cryogenic chamber has a treatment cabin (12) cooled by a cooling factor in the form of liquid air or liquid nitrogen distributed through the nozzle system (17). The treatment cabin (12), which can be open at the top or equipped with a roof, is available in a stationary or mobile version, namely it can be placed on a trailer and is transitional, namely it has a rear door (2) and a front door (1) and its side walls have outlet openings (8, 11) and a grid (7) intended for introducing the cooling factor from the cooling chamber (16), whereas in the treatment cabin (12) at the front and at the back there are elements (18) blocking the animal taking the treatment. The shape of the treatment cabin (12) is based on a rectangle. The chamber is equipped with roller blinds (4, 5) and its operation is controlled by a panel with a monitor as well as a power supply and control system (3).

An improved shock absorbing, light-weight, thermally insulative orthotic pad designed for use in a pad and boot assembly for hoofed livestock. The pad is comprised of a mixture of small particles incorporated and encased in elastomeric materials. The particles have a lower density than the elastomeric materials and possess better thermally insulative properties. The pad is preferably elliptically shaped when viewed from the top or bottom, may be wedge-shaped when viewed from the side, and may include a triangular projection designed to contact a horse's frog and/or a front projection designed to cushion an animal's toe. The pad may also have side clips and toe bumper.

A treatment compound for hoof disease in an animal has a base material and treatment agent. The base material is wax, resin, paste, polymer, oil, or creme. The treatment agent is zinc, copper, oxytetracycline, or tetracycaline. The treatment compound is applied to a hoof area and has a high viscosity in the range of 100,000 to 2,000,000 centipoises to retain the treatment compound on the hoof in a normal animal environment. The treatment compound can be applied by brush, spray, roller, or dipping. The treatment compound is curable by air or UV light to provide a durable, robust shell. The treatment compound can be applied to an interior surface of a boot which is disposed over the hoof to retain the treatment compound on the hoof in normal animal environments. The boot is color coded to indicate length of time that the boot has been applied.

A bathing apparatus for a pet, comprising a top section comprising walls to hold a pet; a bottom section adapted to support and seat the apparatus on a surface; and a bathing section situated between the top and bottom sections comprising a bathing floor configured for the pet to sit or stand on; wherein the bathing section is adapted to allow bathing water to flow away from the pet. The bathing section may comprise a bathing floor and an outer section adapted to allow water to flow through. The apparatus may be used as a bath or a shower.

Device, system and method for distribution of pesticides to reduce or eliminate parasitic creatures liable to infest aquaculture facilities or the animals kept in these, such as salmon lice in a fish farm. The invention is based on the use of pesticides at a concentration level low enough to not represent a dangerous level for the environment, but for a longer exposure period, sufficient to enable delousing to occur.
