A combination waste collection unit and method of using the same. The unit includes a tray having a base and four sidewalls extending upwardly around a perimeter of the base. The base includes a sloped surface sloping downwards from a first sidewall towards a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall. The tray defines a trough along the second sidewall, the trough having a greater depth in the container area than the sloped surface. An absorbent pad is sized and shaped to cover the sloped surface. The pad includes a non-absorbent pull-tab along a perimeter. The sloped surface includes a plurality of fasteners and the pad includes a plurality of opposing fasteners each configured to removably couple to one of the fasteners. Each fastener is positioned on the sloped surface to align with an opposing fastener of the pad.

An apparatus for collecting pet urine includes a frame including a plurality of vertical sidewalls defining an internal cavity, a porous mesh frame configured for accommodation at an upper end of the internal cavity, an adsorbent pad disposed upon an upper surface of the mesh frame, a pair of drip trays fixed to the frame and disposed below the porous mesh frame, the drip trays being inclined towards each other and oriented to define a drainage slot along a common edge, and a filter tray slidably disposed in the frame and located below the drainage slot for receiving pet urine passing through the drainage slot.

An animal attractive absorbent pad comprising an absorbent pad that displays at least one fluorescent compound; wherein the at least one fluorescent compound fluorescent compound fluoresces in the absence of urine, feces, blood, and other bodily fluids; wherein the at least one fluorescent compound is detectable on the absorbent pad when the absorbent pad is exposed to ultraviolet light; and wherein the at least one fluorescent compound attracts animals such as cats and dogs to eliminate on the absorbent pad.

A reusable pee spot cover for animal pee pads includes a tray featuring upper and lower surfaces, a peripheral lip protruding perpendicularly along the tray perimeter and at least one lifting handle for repositioning. The tray may include a visual indicator on its lower surface and can be fabricated from materials such as plastic, cloth, cardboard, or wood. The cover addresses the technical problem of rapid saturation and contamination of pee pads by concealing soiled areas, guiding pets to cleaner sections, and reducing waste tracking. Principal uses include extending pad lifespan and creating enrichment activities for pets. A method involves detecting soiled portions and positioning the cover to conceal contamination.

An apparatus for producing absorbent bed pads or absorbent pet mats, of the type having an absorbent core with a support layer and a plurality of absorbent fibres arranged on a first surface of the support layer. The apparatus includes a deposition station with a conveyor belt movable along an advancing direction (A) and configured to support a support layer strip, and a deposition device configured to generate an air flow passing through the conveyor belt and deposit the plurality of absorbent fibres onto a deposition surface of the support layer strip. The apparatus also includes a preparation station arranged upstream of the deposition station along the advancing direction (A) and having perforating members configured to perforate the support layer strip along its entire width. A method that can be carried out by the apparatus.
