A dog waste collecting system that is fully compostable or biodegradable, and fully sustainable. The system is made of a cardboard box, a biodegradable liner, an optional cardboard cell divider, an absorbent coconut layer and a retaining coconut fiber mat that keeps the absorbent layer in place. The absorbent coconut layer absorbs the dog waste fluids while the coconut fiber mat holds the dog waste solids for removal by the owner. Perforations in the box define a lid that is removed prior to use to expose the mat. The system, after a few weeks of use, can be directly discarded in whole, in the compost.

Provided herein are compositions and methods that facilitate animal enrichment and breeding in animal containment environments. Provided in certain embodiments are animal containment enrichment compositions that include one or more sheets, where at least one of the one or more sheets comprises an array of scores defining a flat array of strips in the sheet. Provided in certain embodiments are animal containment enrichment compositions that include one or more sheets, where at least one of the one or more sheets comprises an array of scores defining a flat array of sections of the sheet.

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.

A method of temporary storage of a domesticated animal can include providing a space defined by a door and top, bottom, side, and back surfaces, wherein the door is configured to be opened based on identification based on a payment method. An animal cage can include at least one top wall, at least one bottom wall, at least one back wall, at least two side walls, and a door, wherein the door is hingedly attached to at least one of the at least one top surface, at least one bottom surface, one of the at least two side surfaces, and wherein the door is configured to be opened based on identification based on a payment method.

Systems and methods for self-cleaning of an animal's feet. The apparatus includes a cleaning portion, a drying portion, and a barrier. The cleaning portion includes upward projections and a tray for retaining water. The animal, such as a dog, cleans its own feet by walking over the wet projections. The drying portion includes an absorbent upper layer supported by a lower support. The dog dries its own feet by walking over the absorbent layer which surrounds the feet on multiple sides. The barrier is deployable to various heights and configurable to restrict movement of the dog along the cleaning and drying portions, such that the dog must clean its paws prior to entering a designated clean area, such as an interior of a home.

A pet furniture including a box and a plurality of sheets is provided. The box includes an accommodating recess concavely formed on a side thereof, and the plurality of sheets are detachably and erectly disposed in the accommodating recess. When the plurality of sheets are disposed in the accommodating recess, the narrow side of each of the plurality of sheets is exposed at the opening of the accommodating recess.

Disclosed is a flooring, in particular for an enclosure for raising animals This flooring includes side members which are made of a resilient material and which are intended to be juxtaposed in order to form a support surface. The side members include recesses suitable for engaging with spacers which are added in order to stabilize the juxtaposed side members at a fixed spacing. And the attachment portions of the spacers and the recesses of two juxtaposed side members are designed in order to conserve a space, advantageously a groove opening upwards, between the side faces of the juxtaposed side members.

A method of extruding self-clumping granular absorbent having cold water soluble amylopectin starch binder formed from starch-containing admixture sufficient for extruded sorbent pellets to produce flowable binder flowing between pellets clumping them together producing clumps of pellets that become hard when substantially dry that have a crush strength of at least 25 PSI and clump retention of at least 80% and preferably at least 90%. As a result, dried pellet clumps are easy to pick up leaving behind unspent pellets for continued sorbent use. A pellet quenching method rapidly cools and dries pellets before leaving the extruder preventing loss of cold water soluble starch and binder, preventing pellet shrinkage, and preventing pellet densification. An air conveyor transporting quenched pellets removed from the extruder further cools and dries the pellets producing pellets ready for sorbent use.
