Animal handling assistance system and methods are disclosed, including an animal handling assistance apparatus, comprising: a body panel; first, second, third, and fourth appendage pouches extending from side portions of the body panel receivable of appendages of an animal. The first, second, third, and fourth appendage pouches each have a proximal portion and a distal portion, with an opening on the proximal portion and on the same side as the inside surface of the body panel, with at least one pouch fastener on the distal portion attachable to the outside surface of the body panel such that at least one of first, second, third, and fourth appendage of the animal is restrainable against the body of the animal.

A veterinary Elizabethan Collar is provided that when unconstructed resembles a semi-circular shape. When the collar is constructed, it is in the shape of a truncated cone. The collar includes receivers on one side and tab mechanisms on the other side such that when the receivers are placed over receiving mechanisms to form a collar of a desired size, the receiver members can be selectively engaged with the tab mechanisms. The collar may also include collar stays that can be selectively attached to an animal's existing collar to help keep the Elizabethan collar in place.

A veterinarian e-bowl. The veterinarian e-bowl may be used in conjunction with an animal wearing an Elizabethan collar (“e-collar”) to assist the animal in consuming food and water while allowing the animal to retain the protective e-collar. Thus, the veterinarian e-bowl preferably allows the pet to eat or drink without removal of the e-collar during feeding. The veterinarian e-bowl may embody a small bowl for cats and small dog breeds weighing up to forty-eight pounds. In another embodiment, the veterinarian e-bowl may be directed to medium-size to large-size dog breeds having a weight in the range between approximately forty-nine pounds to eighty pounds.

A demountable alley stop for preventing livestock from backing up in process alleys, includes a deflectable triangular arm component hingedly engaged with an alley stop framework wherein the resting position of the triangular arm component extends into the process alley. The triangular arm component comprises a rearward-facing deflection arm component engaged at its distal end to the distal end of a forward-facing backstop arm component. The proximal ends of the deflection arm component and the backstop arm component are engaged with a bracing arm component. The juncture of the deflection arm component and the backstop arm component is provided with a resilient pliable hose for contacting process alley side rails when the triangular arm component is deflected out of the process alley. The alley stop framework is provided with a resilient hose to stop the bracing arm component when the triangular arm component returns to its resting position.

There is disclosed a pet tethering device including: a platform, a harness, and a tether. The harness includes: a girth strap to position about the pet's waist, the girth strap including a first loop; a collar strap to position about the pet's neck, the collar strap including a second loop; and a back strap to position along the pet's back, the back strap including a top and a bottom, wherein the top is attached to the collar and the bottom is attached to the girth strap. The tether includes: a first end attached to the platform; and a second end including an attachment device, wherein the second end is threaded through the first loop and the attachment device is attached to the second loop when the harness is positioned on the pet.
