Device for Protecting Animals from Loud and Anxiety Inducing Sound
The present invention relates to a protective device for protecting pet animals from loud and anxiety-inducing noises such as fireworks, gunshots and thunder. The device is configured to wrap over the ears and around the animal’s head and snugly fit in front of the chin using a fastener. More specifically, the device includes a top layer and a bottom layer, wherein the bottom layer includes a pair of pockets to store sound barrier ear pads that reduce sound decibels before entering the ears of the animal. The device can include a logo and a pair of dog ‘ears’ that are visually exposed for aesthetic appearance. The device can be configured in various sizes to accommodate all breeds and sizes of dogs.
CLIPPER
Devices, systems, and methods for nail clipping, for example, animal nail clipping, include a nail clipper including a body for grasping by a user's hand. The body may define a clip space as for receiving of a subject's nail for clipping. The clipper can include at least one blade coupled with the body for movement between a withdraw position retracted from the clip space and a clip position extended into the clip space for clipping.

PET GROOMING DEVICE
The present invention may comprise a grooming and dematting tool with a housing, a plurality of tines extending outward from the housing, each tine linked with a linkage arm, each linkage arm independently activated by a crankshaft to urge the distal ends of each tine back and forth, up, and down, or in other translational or extending movement pattern. The tines urge hair or fur of a pet to untangle or remove knots, snags, matting, and imperfections in the coat, while optionally cooperating with scissoring cutting blades to cut hair from the coat of the pet.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND FLEXIBLE CANINE FOOTWEAR
The invention is generally directed to an improved dog shoe that can be easily and comfortably worn by a dog and is retained on the paw until the user removes it. The shoe includes a bottom sole that provides a support surface between the bottom of the dog's paw and the ground. The shoe further includes a heel portion positioned along the back side of the dog's paw, and a cuff that secures the shoe around the ankle portion of the dog's paw. A tongue extends over the front portion of the dog's paw, through the toes of the dog, and is retained on the front face of the cuff using one or more retention straps. Advantageously, the shoe is securely retained on the dog's paw, allowing the dog the freedom to cover a wide variety of terrains and still protect their paws.
Touchless Paw Care Device
A quiet and compact device for touchless cleaning and drying of a pet animal's paws by positioning the pet animal in the device and causing the device to either force air over or suck air away from a pet animal's paws. A device with a form factor convenient for using to clean the paws of pet animals, e.g. domesticated quadruped animals.
Device for Preventing Bruising in Livestock
A roller assembly for preventing bruising in livestock includes a central shaft having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of resilient rollers rotatable about the longitudinal axis, an end bracket rotatably connected to a first end of the central shaft, and an intermediate bracket connected to the central shaft between two of the resilient rollers. The end bracket extends from the central shaft and is configured for attachment to a structure such that the plurality of resilient rollers extends into or is tangent to a passageway defined by the structure.

Animal eye-wear retainer
An animal eye wear retainer that secures a variety of human anatomy eye-wear on a multitude of animal's heads, to provide animals eye-wear retention and use of human anatomy eye-wear for function or fashion. The retainer assembly (200) includes a right temple arm fastener (210), tether (220), left temple arm fastener (230), strap segment (240), strap segment (250), and a plurality of fasteners, tri-glides, & slides. The temple arm fasteners (210 & 230) allow for interchanging human anatomy eye wear. The adjustable tether and straps accommodate for variety of animal crania anatomy while providing constant tension or force which holds the retained human anatomy eye-wear securely to the animal's face during intense activities.
Beneficial applications of UVA1 light
A light engine that produces UVA1 light, but not UVA2 or UVB radiation, that will provide a human or animal subject a beneficial application of artificial UVA1 light without the deleterious effect of the UVA2 and UVB light. Methods of providing UVA1 light to the human or animal subject over various periods of time provide positive treatments that can reduce stress, reduce anxiety, increase a pain threshold, and induce interferon production. Exposure to UVA1 wavelength light (360-400 nm) provides a positive effect on both humans and animals. This is especially true when the humans or animals do not receive UVB and UVA2 at the time that the UVA1 light is received, and the ratio of UVA1 light to (UVA1 light+visible light) is greater than 10%.
