An animal waste collection device includes an elongated shaft having a channel extending through at least a portion thereof. A handle is proximate a first end of the shaft. A loop is proximate a second end of the shaft and extends at an obtuse angle relative to the shaft so the loop can be held parallel to the ground. Clips are coupled to the loop to grasp an open-end of a disposable bag. An adjustment mechanism is maneuverable to reduce of a size of the loop by pulling a portion of the coated cable into the channel of the shaft, and maneuverable to increase the size of the loop by pushing a portion of the coated cable out of the channel of the shaft. The size of the loop controls an extent to which an open-end of a disposable bag is held open by the loop.

The animal waste-collecting device is adapted for use with a companion animal. The animal waste-collecting device is configured for use in the collection of the excrement of the companion animal. The animal waste-collecting device comprises a telescopic structure, a ring mount, a capture head, and a lamp. The ring mount attaches the capture head to the telescopic structure such that the faces of the capture head rotate relative to the center axis of the telescopic shaft. The capture head is configured for use with a disposable collection bag. The disposable collection bag attaches to the capture head such that the excrement is captured during the elimination process of the companion animal.

The pet excrement catcher is configured for use with a companion animal. The pet excrement catcher is a device for capturing an elimination from the companion animal. The pet excrement catcher comprises an extension shaft, a capture structure, a hinge mechanism, and a grip. The extension shaft is an extension apparatus. The extension shaft is an adjustable structure such that the reach of the pet excrement catcher between a client and the companion animal is adjustable. The capture structure, the hinge mechanism, and the grip attach to the extension shaft. The capture structure is a mechanical structure used to collect the elimination from the companion animal. The hinge mechanism is a mechanical device that controls the operation of the capture structure. The grip is an accommodation that allows the user to manipulate the pet excrement catcher. The grip further illuminates the area around the companion animal.

An apparatus for collecting animal waste is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an elongated tube comprising a first end and a second end. The apparatus comprises a plurality of ribs coupled to the elongated tube at the first end. Further, the apparatus comprises a runner provided at the elongated tube. Movement of runner along the elongated tube allows to collapse or to open the ribs. The apparatus is provided with a disposable bag coupled to the ribs. The runner is adjusted to open the ribs and the disposable bag is aligned with a derriere of a pet to collect the animal waste during defecation process of the pet. Subsequently, the disposable bag containing the animal waste is disposed.

A device for collecting urine flowing from a penis in such a manner that the urine can be transported from the device as the urine is being collected. The device includes a flexible layer of porous material; flexible wicking material disposed on one side of the layer of porous material; and a flexible layer of impermeable material secured to the periphery of the other side of the layer of porous material and so covering the other side of the layer of porous material as to define a chamber between the layer of porous material and the layer of impermeable material. Urine can be collected within the chamber for transport. The chamber has a port for receiving a tube so that urine collected within the chamber can be transported from the chamber by being drawn from the chamber when a partial vacuum is applied within the chamber via the received tube. The combination of the wicking material, the layer of porous material and the layer of impermeable material is so dimensioned and configured as to provide a receptacle for receiving the head of a penis.

The present invention provides a pet excrement storage device for easily receiving and sealing the excrement of a pet. To this end, a pet excrement storage device comprises: a housing having an open upper part; a separation wall which has a plate-shape and is installed in the inner space of the housing; a vinyl holder which includes central shaft storage parts protruding upward from opposite side surfaces thereof; a rotating body from which a center shaft rotatably received; a cover enclosing all open parts of the housing, and having an open portion; and a pet excrement processing device separably coupled to the rotating body and opening/closing the open portion of the cover.

An animal waste bag includes a central pouch and one or more additional pouches formed exterior to the central pouch such that each additional pouch is successively exterior to the preceding pouch. The central and additional pouches are configured to successively retrieve and contain animal waste via their respective successive inversion.

An apparatus for holding a bag open at the end of a telescoping handle. The apparatus includes an elastomerically coated, illuminated ring for releasably holding a bag while collecting dog waste before it reaches the ground. Additional features include a clip or clamp to hold a full bag of dog waste to carry it away for proper disposal.

A portable pet waste collection device which overcomes issues involved with collecting and carrying pet waste when a refuse container is not close by. An expandable waste container is coupled to a bag dispenser from which a user obtains a bag prior to collection. The waste container can be kept in a collapsed state prior to collection, and expanded for receiving a bag of waste. The device conveniently retains the waste bags until proper disposal facilities are available.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for the collection and sampling of agents (including organisms and pathogens) to determine the health of an animal colony. The apparatus includes a perforated housing that incorporates a collection media. The collection media is configured to collect a sample from a target animal, such as a mouse or rat, through the perforations of the housing when the target animal interacts with the perforated housing. The collected sample may include dust, feces, fur, urine, saliva, or other aspect of the target animal's environment.
