The present disclosure relates to an Elizabethan collar for a pet. According to the present disclosure, since it is possible to adjust the direction of the Elizabethan collar, it is possible to increase usability of the Elizabethan collar and to enable a pet to comfortably wear the Elizabethan collar while preventing the pet from easily taking off the Elizabethan collar.

An animal back support apparatus includes a main back support, a chest harness and an optional lumbar support component. The main back support features relatively rigid stays placed over the spine and one on each side of the spine and foam inlays to conform to the pets back between the pets back and the rigid stays. The animal back support apparatus also includes a first side panel on one side of the main back support and a second side panel on an opposite side of the main back support where the first and second side panels extend towards the abdomen of the animal and interact with each other to encircle the torso of the animal. The chest harness attaches to the main support layer.

An animal leash is typically connected to a collar worn around the neck of an animal, where for untrained animals who instinctively wish to roam away from its handler, this leads to the animal pulling the leash taut. However, many animals have an opposition reflex that makes them instinctively move toward the part of their bodies on which they feel pressure. This leads to the animal pulling harder on the leash as the pressure of the leash is at its neck. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide a harness that applies pressure to the opposite side of the animal with respect to the direction it is seeking to wander away from a user holding a leash. Such a leash would apply pressure triggering the opposition reflex bringing the animal back into line.

An interchangeable dog harness that includes an upper frame, a lower frame, and an interchangeable cape, wherein the upper frame and lower frame are adjustable to accommodate various dog sizes, and the interchangeable cape is designed to be used in a variety of situations the dog may face.

Systems, devices and methods for restraining animals are disclosed. The system includes various collar, harness and leash designs. The collars, harnesses and leashes can include various size adjustor assemblies. The designs can be modular and scalable for improved functionality.

An invalid dog lift and support device employs a lever mounted on spread wheels supported by retractable legs with a tanslatable harness mount received on the lever. A telescoping handle is received in an end of the lever distal from the legs. The harness mount is rotatable to position a dog, supported in harnesses suspended form the harness mount, parallel to or transvers to the lever. The harness mount is translatable on the lever from a position proximate the legs to a position distal from the legs.

A utility hydration pet vest is worn by a pet, like a dog, for protection and carrying water and liquid retention items. The vest is fabricated from Cordura fabric. The pet vest comprises a body portion defined by an inner surface that engages the pet when adorned, and an outer surface. The body portion has a shoulder section that forms a pair of openings for the fore legs of the pet to pass through and move freely. The body portion is further defined by a rear section with an overlaying outside pocket layer. The outside pocket layers is formed together along a dividing line to define an isolated liquid compartment comprising a liquid bladder for carrying liquid, and a utility compartment having access openings for holding a collapsible liquid bowl and liquid tube to conveniently water the pet. The vest may also include cooling and heating elements, and dog boots.

The present technology generally relates to animal restraint systems with cinching mechanisms and associated devices and methods. A restraint system, such as a harness for a dog, in accordance with the present technology can include a back strap, a sternum strap, a chest strap assembly, and a cinching mechanism coupled to the chest strap assembly. When an animal or person pulls on a free-end portion of a cinching strap, the cinching mechanism draws opposing sides of the chest strap assembly closer together and, thereby, tightens the harness across the chest of the animal. Cinching mechanisms in accordance with the present technology avoid substantial shifting or rotation of the harness on the neck or torso of the animal in response to a lunging, pulling, tugging, or other force.

A harness may include harness straps, a leash and harness straps connection component, a chest component, and an end of leash component, which work to supply flexibility in sizing. The harness system may adjust the size and fit of the harness on a dog to readily adapt to a growing dog and reduce the need to buy new harnesses.

A system and associated methods use an animal harness attached to an animal to improve security at a location (e.g., a home, office, warehouse, etc.). The animal harness collects health status data of the animal, and the health status data is processed using one or more algorithms that detect changes in one or more of excitement, agitation, stress, and/or anxiety in the animal. These changes are interpreted, using a behavioral model of the animal, to determine whether the animal is witnessing a security event at the location, and when the health status data indicates the security event, the system may generate an alert. The behavioral model may be updated over time to improve performance of the algorithms to detect security events.
