Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and apparatus for the treatment of plaque, halitosis and other oral diseases in animals such as dogs. The methods and apparatus feature the administration of molecular iodine at a concentration that is effective and accepted by animals. Clinical trials show that the dose should not be below 0.5 micro grams/mL and not above 2.0 micrograms/mL. Concentrations outside this range are not effective on the low side and refused by the animal on the high side.

A fluid delivery system for delivering a fluid from an automatic water source to animals housed in cages in high density caging systems may comprise a flexible, non-metal, hose-type manifold line having a plurality of circular apertures and a plurality of injection molded plastic saddle fittings each configured to fit into an aperture. Each cage location may comprise two apertures opposite one other and two saddle fittings fit thereto. The saddle fittings may further comprise a U-shaped portion configured to fit around the flexible manifold line, an inward-facing protrusion sized and configured to penetrate and seal to an aperture, and one or more ribs to seal the aperture and/or grip the flexible manifold.

A system and method relates to providing water to and for animals. More specifically, the present invention relates to an automated method and system for providing water and nutritional supplements to and for animals without burdensome attendance or intervention by the system user. A system and method of providing water and/or nutritional supplements to an animal, sub-group, or group of animals under electrical, electronic, or smart-device control.

Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for regulating a fluid level provided in an animal watering trough. The components that are part of the apparatus, system, and method may include a housing having at least one side wall, base, and removable cover where the housing define a cavity that is configured to contain fluid. Also, the components include a fill valve positioned within the cavity of the housing for controlling a level of the fluid within the housing, an intake port that may be connected to a fluid supply, and an output port in fluid communication with the animal watering trough. The system may be configured such that when the fill valve is in a first position, the fluid is prevented from flowing between the intake port and the housing, and when the fill valve moves into a second position, the fluid flows via the intake port into the housing.

A smart bowl system includes one more food and water smart bowls that each has a processor, memory, and a bowl weight sensor. The smart bowls communicate with a cloud server and one or more caretaker computing devices. The caretakers can input physical information for the pet including weight. The smart bowl system can determine the healthy weight range for the pet and determine a recommended feeding schedule. The smart bowl system can remind the caretakers to feed the pet, monitor the quantity of food and water that are placed in the smart bowls and the consumption of the food and water by the pet and transmit reports to the caretaker's computing device(s). The smart bowl system can maintain the recommended feeding schedule to keep the pet within the healthy weight range or adjust the feeding schedule to bring the pet's weight within the healthy weight range.

A system and process for low flow water monitoring in agriculture that measures water consumption at an individual bird/animal/plant level by weighing water in a controlled sealed environment. The system and process include a pressure regulation device fluidly connected to one or more reservoir tanks filled with water. The pressure regulation device is adjustable allowing for different output pressures suitable for many different agriculture applications.
