A pet bathing system for use with a surface cleaning apparatus is provided and includes at least a wand override tool to allow for an easy-to-use pet bathing system. The system can be used for the bathing of pets via the application and subsequent extraction of liquid. The wand override tool includes a cleaning solution reservoir and couplers adapted to be coupled with a surface cleaning apparatus having a suction source and a cleaning fluid source and with a hand tool.

An apparatus, a system and a method for drying pets include a blower that directs a flow of air through two tubes to two mitts. The two mitts receive the flow of air from the blower and direct the flow of air through perforations to dry the pet. The air may flow through tapered channels within the mitts.

A pet drying jacket according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a body part formed in a sheet shape and having multiple discharge holes formed therethrough; and a supply part formed in a pipe shape and connected to the outer surface of the body part, wherein, in a state in which the body part surrounds a pet such that body openings are formed at opposite side ends of the body part, hot air is supplied to a part between the body part and the pet through the supply part, dries the pet, and then is discharged through the discharge holes and the body openings.

A hand attachable animal washing apparatus, attachable upon the hand of a user, enables singlehanded control of waterflow and application of water into the coat of an animal. Control of waterflow though a molded body member is enabled by operation of a compressible portion disposed to control a valve assembly disposed interiorly within the molded body member. A proximal arced edge is disposed projected rearwardly from the molded body member and curved downward to direct waterflow away from a user operating the device, particularly when the device is elevated above a user, as when washing a large animal such as a horse, for example. A user may thereby control and apply water to an animal with one hand while securing and comforting the animal with the other hand.

A surface attachable washing apparatus enables easy control of water flow through a molded body member. A valve assembly, disposed interiorly within the body member, is actuated by simple depression of an overlying portion of an obverse surface of the molded body member, to toggle a valve assembly between each of a closed position and an open position. Water flow is therefore controllable by manual pressure to alternately emit and prevent water flow sprayed through each of a plurality of outlets. At least one suction cup enables selective positioning of the molded body member upon a surface distally situated relative to an existing water outlet to which the apparatus is connected. A user may therefore position the apparatus at a desired height in the bath room, for example, to correspond with a child who can then easily control of the water flow during bath time.

An enhanced equine tool has an enhanced pick tool, an enhanced grip handle, and an interchangeable tool head. The pick tool extends through the handle and out one end, curves into a flex fulcrum, and then extends upwards to a pick tip. The handle has two finger stops and a tool mount that releasably mounts an interchangeable tool head. The tool head can be a collateral groove brush head, bale twine cutter head, etc. The collateral groove brush head is adapted to fit within the collateral groove of an equine hoof and provide enhanced cleaning. The V-shaped brush head also efficiently cleans the central groove of the frog and other areas. Together, the components of an enhanced equine tool provide a plethora of enhanced functionalities that allow the equine caregiver to efficiently clean the hoof and undertake other tasks as well.

The present invention provides a pet shower having an upper washing compartment and a lower stowage area. An interiorly disposed multi-apertured conduit in fluid communication with an exterior source provides a “shower” for washing the animal. Portals, having gloves mounted thereto, enable washing of the animal without having the hands of the user exposed to the interior. The washing compartment is detachably mounted to the stowage area in which is stowed a tub which defines, in a first instance, a step enabling an animal to step upon to enter the interior of the washing apparatus and, when inverted, may be used as a drainage tub for draining from water within the compartment.

A vacuum housing attachment used with a animal grooming tool for vacuuming loose fur and hair as an animal is groomed The housing attachment includes an inverted “U” shaped tool housing. The tool housing includes an open bottom portion, a closed first end portion and an open second end portion. The open second end portion is adapted for receiving the grooming tool therethrough. The tool housing is adapted for holding the grooming tool in a snug fit. Attached to a rear portion of the tool housing is a hollow handle. One end of the hollow handle includes a vacuum intake port for receiving the fur or hair from an animal, as the animal is being groomed. An opposite end of the hollow handle includes a vacuum exit port adapted for attachment to a vacuum tube.

A fluid directing grooming glove apparatus for vacuuming and washing pets includes a glove body having a glove opening configured to receive a user's hand. A fluid diverter is coupled to the glove body and has a hose aperture and a plurality of tube apertures. Each tube aperture is in fluid communication with the hose aperture. A plurality of finger tubes is coupled to the glove body and attached to, and in fluid communication with, the tube apertures of the fluid diverter. A feed hose is coupled to the fluid diverter. The feed hose has a hose distal end attached to, and in fluid communication with, the hose aperture and a hose connector coupled to a hose proximal end. The hose connector attaches to a vacuum hose or a water hose to either suck air or spray water through the finger tubes.

A pet service structure includes a housing including a floor, upstanding sidewalls, a ceiling, and water piping connectable to a water source. A pet fountain is disposed outside of the housing. The pet fountain includes a frame coupled to one of the sidewalls, a bowl coupled to the frame and disposed near a ground level, a water spout connected to the water piping and directed towards the bowl, and a valve configured to open and close the water spout.
