A poop catching system and methods configured to removably hold a bag using at least one bag constrain; an extendable element configured to produce at least two position in the bag: opened and closed; such that in the opened position poop can enter into the bag and in the closed stop poop from exiting the bag; and a handle to allow the bag in the open position to be held underneath an animal while it is evacuating. Further aspects include that that the extendable element is a sliding plate and the poop catching system further comprises a fixed plate with mating geometry and in the closed position the sliding plate and fixed plate are flush to one another. Still a further aspect involves the at least one bag constraint configured being a gate type bag constraint.

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 channeling element for channeling 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 urine collection device for a cow, comprising a positioner, a urine container coupled to positioner, a sensor for detecting a cow position, a stimulator for stimulating a stimulation region of a cow, wherein stimulation region is ventral with respect to a vulva of a cow, and a controller, wherein the controller is functionally coupled to the sensor for receiving a position of the cow. The controller is configured for controlling the position the stimulator at the stimulation region for stimulating the cow when a cow is positioned within a predefined range. When stimulation starts an urination, the positioner positions the urine container from a storage position to a working position for receiving a subsequent flow of urine from the stimulated cow.

An animal waste disposal mat, including a main body, a plurality of side flaps each connected to different parts of the main body at first edges, respectively, and a drawstring to connect tip portions of each of the plurality of side flaps together, such that a pulling of the drawstring causes the tip portions of the plurality of side flaps to move toward a direction toward a center point of the main body.

The invention provides a urine collection device for a cow, comprising a positioner, a urine container coupled to said positioner, a sensor for detecting a cow position, a stimulator for stimulating a stimulation region of a cow, which stimulation region is ventrally with respect to a vulva of said cow, and a controller, wherein said controller is functionally coupled to said sensor for in operation receiving a cow position of said cow, and said controller is functionally coupled to said positioner and said stimulator, said controller adapted for controlling said positioner for bringing said stimulator at said stimulation region and for stimulating said stimulation region of said cow in response to a cow position being within a predefined range, which stimulation starts a urination, and controlling said positioner for positioning said urine container from a storage position to a working position for receiving a subsequent flow of urine from said stimulated cow, wherein said urine container comprises a front end for providing at least part of said stimulator.

A grabber scoop and scraper device with sticky roll and LED includes a bucket scoop that opens and shuts by squeezing a handle grip attached thereto via an extension rod. The bucket scoop includes two halves each configured with attaching ends and scraper ends. A sticky portion is disposed concentrically on the extension rod proximal the bucket scoop to temporarily attach at least one disposable bag(s) thereto. A disposable bag encloses some of the extension rod to the two bucket scoop and attaches to the sticky portion to form a closed container inside-out therewith around a grabbed material. A grabber and scoop contents disposing method includes forming the bucket scoop and using the sticky portion to temporarily attach at least one disposable bag thereto. A directional light emitting diode attached to the device shines in a direction of the sticky roll and the bucket scoop and may be automatically activated.

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.

A method of disposing of an absorbent pad may include pivoting a flexible bag from a storage position to a use position such that at least a portion of the flexible bag extends from the absorbent pad, folding a left and right portion of the flexible bag towards a center portion of the flexible bag to form a stacked portion, rolling the stacked portion towards the flexible bag to form a roll, and disposing the roll within a cavity defined by one of an outer surface or an inner surface of the flexible bag.

A pet waste grasping device including a telescopic assembly, a claw assembly, a light assembly and a bag assembly is disclosed. The pet waste grasping device is a pet waste scooper for collecting of pet waste without the need for a user to come in direct contact with the pet waste. The pet waste grasping device include an elongated shaft having a handle and a trigger-like actuator at the proximal end of the shaft, wherein the distal end of the shaft supports an illumination device that projects light downward and a series of extendable fingers which retract and expand when the trigger-like actuator is manipulated to release a bag with pet waste therein. The extendable fingers support the bag which is preferably a plastic bag that is placed over the extendable fingers manually.
