A rearing cage unit is where an animal is reared individually in an environment at least including a space environment. The rearing cage unit includes an animal residential area that is defined by a floor, a ceiling, and a wall; an excrement collection area that is provided adjacently to the animal residential area; and an excretion sheet that is provided in the excrement collection are to receive excrement of the animal. At least one of the floor and the wall is made of a material including resin, and has an excretion hole that allows the excrement in the animal residential area to be discharged to the excrement collection area, and that has a size that prevents four feet of the animal from entering the excretion hole. The excretion sheet is provided facing the excretion hole.

An absorbent article for pet excreta includes a liquid-permeable topsheet layer, a liquid-permeable backsheet layer, and a liquid-absorbing unit. The liquid-permeable backsheet layer is disposed spaced apart from the liquid-permeable topsheet layer. The liquid-absorbing unit is disposed between the liquid-permeable topsheet layer and the liquid-permeable backsheet layer, and is adapted for absorbing pet excreta from at least one of the liquid-permeable topsheet layer and the liquid-permeable backsheet layer.

An absorbent material may include glucomannan and biodegradable and/or non-biodegradable additives/base material. The biodegradable additives may be corn, walnut shells, newspaper, grass, wood chips, x-DDGs, and the like.

A method of disposing of an absorbent pad may include pivoting a flexible bag from a storage position to a use position such that at least a portion of the flexible bag extends from the absorbent pad, folding a left and right portion of the flexible bag towards a center portion of the flexible bag to form a stacked portion, rolling the stacked portion towards the flexible bag to form a roll, and disposing the roll within a cavity defined by one of an outer surface or an inner surface of the flexible bag.

The invention relates to an intelligent self-cleaning electric deodorant sand pot for pets which includes a seat body, a sand pot, a sand adding device and a waste sand collecting device. The upper end of the seat body is provided with a first cavity and a second cavity. The tail end of the sand pot is embedded in the first cavity and is rotatably connected thereto. The front end of the sand pot is slidably connected with the balls. The sand pot is provided with a filter plate, a waste sand discharge port, a venting hole and a deodorizing device. The sand adding device includes a sand box fixedly arranged on the seat body, an electrically controlled valve arranged at the bottom of the sand box, a telescopic tube connecting the sand box and the sand pot. The waste sand collecting device includes a box body, and a protruding block. The box body is disposed in the second cavity and is slidably connected thereto. A gasket 43 is provided with the box body 41 and the second cavity 12 at the opening. The intelligent self-cleaning electric deodorant sand pot for pets has the advantages of simple structure, convenient structure, high intelligence degree, good deodorizing effect, and the like, and effectively solves the problem that the existing pet sand pot needs manual cleaning and sand adding.

An absorbent pad may include a liquid permeable layer, a liquid impermeable layer, and a liquid absorbent layer disposed between the liquid permeable layer and the liquid impermeable layer. The liquid absorbent layer may include a first absorption region and a second absorption region. The second absorption region may extend around the first absorption region and may be configured to absorb more liquid per unit area than the first absorption region.

Treatment mats having a mat material with openings extending into the mat material. The openings contain stones and may additionally include a matrix material. Methods of treatment include positioning an individual proximate the treatment mat.

Animal bedding, such as for a guinea pig, is disclosed. The animal bedding comprises a main section and a pocket. The main section includes a top layer, a middle layer and a bottom layer. The top layer is hydrophobic, the middle layer is hydrophilic and at least a part of the bottom layer is hydrophobic. The top layer, the middle layer and the bottom layer are attached to one another, such as via stitching along a perimeter of the main section. Separately, the top layer and the middle layer are attached to one another, such as in an interior of the main section, to form quilting in the main section. The pocket, which is attached to the main section, allows the guinea pig to burrow therein.

A mat for a bovine animal has an elastomeric body having a ground-engaging underside and a top side, the mat having a head end and a tail end. The top side has a generally planar area on which a cow may rest in use, and a portion of the generally planar area towards the head end is bounded on either side and across the head end thereof by a barrier integrally formed with the elastomeric material of the mat. The barrier projects upwardly above the generally planar area, and defines a pair of arms extending on either side of the bounded portion. The configuration of the mat encourages an animal to rest correctly on the mat, increasing comfort and reducing the chance of injury, while also avoiding the problems of hygiene and installation difficulties associated with known mats and their accessories.

A pet kennel is disclosed as it may be manufactured to appear as furniture. An example of the pet kennel may include a housing having a floor, a top, and four sides, wherein the floor and the top are wooden, and at least one of the sides has metal rods in a wooden frame. The example pet kennel may also include a containment area formed within the housing, the containment area sufficiently large to fit multiple animals. At least one divider may be installed to separate the containment area into distinct living space. The at least one divider may be removed to provide a common living space. The at least one pet kennel may also include at least one door to the containment area, and a lock on the at least one door.
