A pet waste bag retainer and organizer system that allows for a roll of bags to be retained by a tail portion of the system, wherein the tail puts an internal pressure on the cavity or core of the roll bags. The system further including a retaining portion for the carrying of used pet waste bag, thus helping the user to not have to carry the used pet waste bag until it can be disposed of. The retaining portion includes an opening designed to allowed a knotted bag to pass therethrough and down a retention slot having retention protrusion extending into the retention slot that helps secure the pet waste bag while transporting.

A device for disposal of waste material includes a handle, a shovel blade, and a catch. The device for disposal of waste material is useful for catching and removing pet waste material as the pet is defecating before falling to ground. The device includes a telescoping handle which allows a user to extend the device to the desired height for comfort. The device uses a group of clips to secure a pet waste bag to the catch which allows for easy installation. When the pet defecates a user simply pushes the catch and shovel blade under the pet to catch the waste, then the user may remove the clips and dispose of the used pet waste bag.

A wearable accessory can include one or more retainer arms and a housing. The one or more retainer arms can couple to a wearable article. The housing can define an inner chamber that is sized for receiving component that is coupled to the one or more retainer arms. The housing can move between a closed position and an open position. The housing can protect the component from the environment external to the chamber in the closed position and reveal the component to the environment external to the chamber in the open position.

A waste collection apparatus having an absorbent pad having opposing outermost layers, comprising a permeable layer and an opposing substantially leak proof layer; the absorbent pad comprising at least one innermost layer of waste absorbing material sandwiched and completely enclosed between the opposing outermost layers and completely filling a volume therebetween extending to the outer peripheral border, which has an interior passageway, a draw tape therein, and a plurality of outside cut off corners having adjacent interior passageway openings; the draw tape having a length greater than that of the outer peripheral border; the draw tape routed through the adjacent interior passageway openings exposing the draw tape at the outside cut off corners; the waste collection apparatus forming a bag, when the draw tape is pulled taut.

An apparatus for collecting faeces characterized in that it consists of a collection container that can be used one-handed and comprises two jaws (1, 2) connected together at one end on an elastic flexible connection side (3) of the jaws (1, 2) with a rotation axis (22), which resists the closing of the jaws (1, 2), which form a hollow space when close, wherein the circumferential L-shaped edge (5) of the one jaw (2) is smaller than the circumferential L-shaped edge (4) of the other jaw (1), so that the edge of the one jaw (2) fits exactly into the edge of the other jaw (1) when the collection container closes against the reversion resistance of the elastic flexible connection side (3), and they lock in both sides with locking elements located circumferentially and to the ends of the jaws (1, 2), not being able to open again, and wherein, approximately at the centre of its main surface, each jaw (1, 2) includes a prismatic protrusion (8) whose top tip (71, 72) is parallel to the rotation axis (22) of the jaws (1, 2).

An analytical sample collector for collecting animal urine includes a container for containing urine and a collection device for collecting urine. The collection device includes a receiver for receiving urine and a channelling element for channelling urine to the container. An attractant composition emits an odor that attracts animals to urinate on the receiver. Kits and methods obtain an analytical sample of animal urine, and collect and analyze an analytical sample of urine from an animal.

A collection device for debris and animal waste is an apparatus that optimizes airflow to effectively and safely collect debris, preferably pet waste. The apparatus includes a canister, at least one handle assembly, an airflow inlet nozzle, a portable power source, and a fan assembly. The canister houses collected debris and the fan assembly. The at least one handle assembly, the airflow inlet nozzle, and the portable power source are mounted with the canister. The at least one handle assembly allows a user to easily maneuver the canister and the airflow inlet nozzle. The fan assembly suctions debris into a debris chamber of the canister through the airflow inlet nozzle. The portable power source provides the necessary power for the fan assembly to operate. The apparatus further includes an air-permeable collection bag that is housed within the debris chamber to facilitate the removal of collected pet waste within the canister.

An animal waste collection and transport device having a container and a handle. The container includes an opening configured to receive animal waste. The handle has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is adapted to be grasped by the operator. The second portion has a lid and a waste scraping tool such as a shovel, hoe, or rake and is used to help move the animal waste into the container. The device includes an attachment assembly selectively movable between a first position where the container and handle are attached to each other and a second position wherein the container and handle are detached (or detachable) from each other so the scraping tool can be used to direct animal waste into the container. In the first position the waste scraping tool is positioned inside the container and the lid covers the opening in the container to seal the scraping tool and any animal waste inside the container.

A new fecal matter scooper for pets is described. The fecal matter scooper includes a frame having a first end portion and a second end portion, a pair of actuating scoop jaws driven by a motor disposed on the first end portion of the frame, a handle disposed on the second end portion of the frame including a switch, the pair of scoop jaws configured to be actuated from an open position to a closed position by the switch, a bag including a pair of slots on an openable and closable end portion of the bag, each slot receiving one of the scoop jaws therethrough.

Technology is disclosed for a cat litter that can be used to diagnose feline medical conditions. A cat litter contains an additive, e.g., a chemical agent, such as a natural and/or synthetic agent, that changes in color when it comes in contact with cat urine or feces. Based on the color it can be determined whether the cat has a medical condition, such as particular illness. For example, if the litter turns yellow when it comes in contact with the urine, it can indicate that the cat is healthy. If the litter turns to a color other than yellow, e.g., green, it can indicate that the cat has some illness. The cat then be taken to a veterinary doctor for further diagnosis. The chemical agent aids in detection and diagnosis through interaction of materials that change colors to indicate reactions with specific chemicals, cells, molecules, DNA and/or materials. The technology can be implemented for medical diagnosis and detection—for humans and/or animals.
