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.

Embodiments of the disclosure enable a user to remove animal feces in a sanitary manner. An animal feces removal device includes a claw housing defining a distal opening, a claw assembly including a plurality of fingers movable between a closed configuration and an open configuration, a shaft assembly including a projection member movable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, and a bag assembly including a frame member and one or more bags removably coupled to the frame member. The projection member is coupled to the claw assembly such that the fingers move as the projection member is moved. A first bag is positionable adjacent to the distal opening such that, when the fingers move from the retracted position toward the extended position, the first bag is uncoupled from the frame member for use in picking up animal feces.

A toilet for animal, including: an upper container having a plurality of holes formed on a bottom portion, the plurality of holes penetrating in an up-down direction; a lower container that includes a receiving section receiving excrement that has passed through the plurality of holes, gravity of the upper container not acting on the lower container; and an output unit that outputs a signal changing according to an amount of the excrement received by the receiving section.

Embodiments disclosed are directed to 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.

A dog feces collecting apparatus (10), including: at least two jaws (14a, 14b), being rotatable (40) one in relation to the other; and a disposable bag (16), comprising: means (22, 17, 9), for manually connecting the disposable bag (16) to the jaws (14a, 14b) while the ends (36a, 36b) of the jaws (14a, 14b) are drawn apart one from the other; and attaching means (20a, 20b, 17, 19), for attaching portions of the disposable bag (16) meeting one another upon meeting of ends (36a, 36b) of 10 the jaws (14a, 14b), thereby upon drawing the ends (36a, 36b) of the least two jaws (14a, 14b) apart one from the other, the attaching means (20a, 20b, 17, 19) removes the disposable bag (16) from at least one of the jaws (14a, 14b).

A feces collection device for sanitary collection and disposal of fecal matter includes a housing that defines an internal space. An orifice is positioned in a front of the housing. A first grate is positioned in the housing proximate to a back of the housing. A power module and a motor are coupled to the housing and positioned in the internal space. The motor is selectively operationally couplable to the power module. A fan is coupled to the motor and is positioned in the internal space. The motor is positioned to rotate the fan. The fan is configured to pull air and the fecal matter through the orifice into the internal space. The fecal matter is retained in the internal space as the air exits the internal space through the first grate.

A poop pickup tool with a first and second flexible panel, a handle sheet holding member and a frame retaining bracket. The first and second panels each have a diamond shaped frame member at their distal end. The first panel has a hand grip at its proximal end. Flat holding brackets slidably retain the first panel and second panels. The second panel has a perpendicularly disposed handle portion. The frame retaining bracket is attached to the second panel at the lower end of the frame member so that a user can place the first and second diamond shaped frame members over a plastic sheet that covers a portion of poop and then slide the first panel backward to trap the plastic sheet and enclose the poop between the rear portion of the first frame and the front portion of the second frame.

A ball throwing device for dog owners includes a handle connected to a head with an elongate shaft, the head defining an opening into which a ball can be inserted. The handle further includes a hollow interior to receive a roll of pet waste bags, an aperture being provided in the side wall of the handle, through which the bags can be dispensed.

A device (1) for collecting animal waste comprising: a linearly extending kinematic mechanism (2) configured to move between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration; an actuating handle (3) connected to the linearly extending kinematic mechanism (2) and configured to actuate the linearly extending kinematic mechanism (2) reversibly between the retracted configuration and the extended configuration, and vice versa, retaining means (4) configured to retain a bag (A) adapted to receive the animal waste, wherein the linearly extending kinematic mechanism (2) is configured to arrange, in the extended configuration, the retaining means (4) at the animal's anal area so that the bag (A) can receive the animal waste; and an opening and closing mechanism (5) of the bag (A) interposed between the linearly extending kinematic mechanism (2) and the retaining means (4) and configured to switch the retaining means (4) reversibly between a resting configuration, in which the bag (A) is substantially closed during the retracted configuration of the linearly extending kinematic mechanism (2), and an operating configuration, in which the bag (A) is opened during the extended configuration of the linearly extending kinematic mechanism (2).

The linearly extending kinematic mechanism (2) comprises a sequence of arms (2) hinged to one another and being mutually rotatable to implement a pantograph-type mechanism.

A toilet designed for use by pets, the solution of which seeks to guarantee that the device toilet or bathroom for dogs and cats can be installed in any place in the home, so as to integrate a flexible bag with the toilet destined to receive the liquid originating from the animal, this bag having a capacity to accommodate a certain volume of urine, and can be discarded at any time. The bag further receives a rubberized plastic mat on top, on which the animal positions itself, where it can also carry out its physiological needs, urine or feces, in the latter case to be scooped up by the pet owner with a little bag or similar. This set, both bag and mat area, can be sanitized. The embodiments include an alternative, which operates by an association of electro-mechanical, electronic and wireless communication resources.
