The present invention provides a water absorption treatment material that has a structure suitable for obtaining a high level of water disintegrability. A water absorption treatment material is a water absorption treatment material that absorbs a liquid, and includes a granular core portion and a coating layer portion. The granular core portion has a granular shape. The granular core portion contains a first water-absorbent polymer. The coating layer portion covers the granular core portion. The coating layer portion contains a second water-absorbent polymer. The second water-absorbent polymer has a mean particle size smaller than the mean particle size of the first water-absorbent polymer.

An indoor-type cat nest conforming to ecological environment standards of cats is provided, relating to the field of a cat nest. The indoor-type cat nest conforming to ecological environment standards of cats includes a cat nest body and a cat sleeping mat. The cat nest body includes an upper cat nest and a lower cat nest detachably connected to the upper cat nest by a connecting means; the cat sleeping mat is removably disposed in the lower cat nest and includes a graphene inner liner removably arranged therein. The cat nest provided by an embodiment of the present application can conform to ecological environment standards of cats and meet their living habits.

A method of making clumping deodorizer granules can include applying a clumping agent to a particles containing activated carbon to at least partially coat an outer surface of the particles with a distinct layer comprising the clumping agent. Clumping deodorizer granules can include particles containing activated carbon, and an outer surface of each of the particles is at least partially coated with a distinct layer containing a clumping agent. A method of reducing malodor from animal waste can include adding clumping deodorizer granules to a pet litter in a litter box, the clumping deodorizer granules including particles containing activated carbon, and an outer surface of each of the particles is at least partially coated with a distinct layer containing a clumping agent.

An illustrated view of an exemplary training pad 100 for house training a puppy is presented. The training pad is useful for providing a deterrent to pets chewing or tearing the training pad after they urinate or defecate on a training pad 100. The training pad is useful for aiding cleanup and making cleanup of a used training pad efficient, easier and safer. The training pad has an exterior lining that is leakproof. The training pad has an absorbent pad that is coupled to a middle of the exterior lining to absorb the urine or defecation of a pet. The absorbent pad has a pre-treated chew deterrent such as bitter apple and the like. The absorbent pad further has been pretreated with an odor neutralizer and a pheromone attractant.

A encapsulation system incorporating a polymer repair mixture with quartz sand that enables an underlying monolithic membrane to fully encapsulate an entire mat into a concrete surface allowing for resilient bond which holds up to the weight and force of Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, Giraffe and Elephants. Use of such durable flooring of the present invention may be suitable to a diverse array of situations requiring a hard-wearing material, such as zoos, veterinary hospitals, animal transport trailers, quality stall systems, healthcare, arena footing, supermarkets, gymnasiums and schools, as well as other commercial, institutional and sporting uses.

A method and system reprocess soiled animal bedding material commingled with animal manure. In one aspect the soiled animal bedding material is separated in a shaker to send at least a preponderance of the manure to a holding tank. In another aspect the bedding is cleaned, rinsed and color is restored. The bedding material is subsequently dried and a bedding product, fertilizer product, and/or compacted product is formed. Alternatively, the bedding material is dried (without a compacting step) to form a product. In yet another aspect, the steps of separation, cleaning, rinsing and/or color restoration may be omitted.

An electric heating mat system including at least two layers of heat conductive material forming a mat, electrical wiring positioned between the layers of heat conductive material, a thermostat and thermostat-gauge for maintaining and controlling a temperature of the electrical heating system, a fastening assembly including at least one tie-strap and a receiving-member, and a power cord. The electrical wiring generates heat via passing electric current through the electrical wiring to spread the heat through the at least two layers of the heat conductive material to provide a heated surface. The mat provides a heated, sanitary sleeping area for animals.

A litter distribution apparatus provides for even distribution of a bedding material to an animal containment area for animal husbandry operations. The distribution apparatus has vertically adjustable skid legs that support the apparatus at a desired elevation as it is drawn across a ground surface of the containment area. A frame and litter containment skirt allow for the accumulation of the bedding material and even disposition along the ground surface based on the selected elevation of the skid legs. The skid legs may be vertically adjustable via an actuator.

A cat litter box mat having a planar upper layer which overlaps and covers a planar lower layer. In some embodiments, the planar upper layer includes a pair of planar upper layers. The planar upper layers are connected to the planar lower layer. A plurality of openings are formed through the upper layers and these openings increase in area from a lower surface of each upper layer to an upper surface of the upper layers. Connecting members are provided for joining additional mats placed adjacent one another.
