An animal mobility device to be used with an animal who lacks full functional use of its rear legs, providing the animal with two modes of operation, with the first mode of operation being active, whereby the animal propels itself by its front legs while having its rear portion supported by the device, and with the second mode of operation being passive, whereby a human operator propels the device while the entirety of the animal is supported by the device.

A dog harness assembly comprising: a harness body adapted to be positioned on a chest portion of a dog, a pair of restraint loops coupled with the harness body and adapted to pass respectively under the left and right foreleg pits of the dog, each loop comprising a clasp adapted to be releasably fastened to a fastening arrangement provided in the harness body; a connector located in the harness body for engaging with a locking portion of a leash for allowing a user to exert a force for controlling movements of the dog wearing said harness when the harness is connected to the leash through said connector; a key or combination actuated locking arrangement coupled with said connector to provide a lockable connection between the leash and the harness wherein in a locked configuration the leash connector is prevented from being uncoupled from the connector; wherein the locking arrangement is coupled with said fastening arrangement such that in the locked configuration the clasps of the restraint loops engage with the locking portion of the leash to prevent the clasps from being released from the fastening arrangement and wherein in an unlocked configuration, each clasp only be released from the fastening arrangement after the leash connector has been uncoupled from the connector and by additionally actuating a clasp release mechanism provided on said harness body.

The present invention is relative to a body-worn structure, and more particularly to the structure that is worn on the body for pets or people using a support enclosure or a jacket body with combined multiple functions to facilitate the user in meeting the various different needs for outdoor activities. In order to achieve the immediate function in using rain covering outfit when there's an unexpected rain, an expansion/retaining device is disposed on an inner side of the flexible enclosure. Moreover, the structure can also be applied in various different circumstances, for examples, a body protective device for emergency situation in outdoor activities, such as riding a bike, scooter or motorcycle, mountain-climbing, skiing, hand gliding, paragliding, and boating. When taking a pet outdoors, the structure can be applied as pet weather proof clothing, pet carrier backpack, and a fixing device for a pet droppings collection bag.

An object of the present invention is to provide a garment for measuring biological information for animals, in which the electrode portion is less likely to be displaced from the body even upon a movement of an animal and the biological information can be measured accurately, and to provide a method for measuring biological information.

A garment for measuring biological information comprising a front body and a back body having a large tensile elongation EMT. Since the garment for measuring biological information has a band around a torso, it is possible to prevent the electrodes from being displaced from the body due to a movement. Further, since the connection portion between the front body and the back body of the garment for measuring biological information is made of a woven or knitted fabric that expands and contracts in the direction from the head to the tail, the electrodes are less likely to be displaced from the body even upon a great movement. Therefore, the garment for measuring biological information of the present invention can accurately measure the biological information of a moving animal.

The present invention relates to an inclement weather pet safety device which protects pets when exercising outdoors during inclement weather conditions. The device comprises a secure and comfortable wearable harness that fits over the front legs and torso of a dog or other animal. The top of the harness supports a screen or roof configuration positioned over the animal's head and back to maintain protection against inclement weather conditions, excessive heat or cold, etc. In this manner, the inclement weather pet safety device of the present invention provides users with a secure and comfortable wearable harness and roof configuration for protecting pets when exercising outdoors in any type of weather.

Insect repellant articles and the use of the insect repellant articles. In accordance with certain embodiments, the insect repellant article comprises scent releasing component capable of deterring insects and/or other pests. The insect repellant articles are particularly useful in repelling insects such as bees, which can cause allergic reactions in pets or other animals.

A sound collecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a sound collecting part that detects sound in a body of an animal, a sound absorbing member that is provided on the sound collecting part, and a contact member that is provided on the sound absorbing member such that the contact member contacts a body surface of the animal, wherein the sound collecting part includes a housing, an opening causing the inside of the housing to be in communication with the outside of the housing on a surface of the housing proximate to the sound absorbing member, and a sound collecting element provided inside the housing for detecting the sound, wherein the sound absorbing member covers the opening of the housing, and protrudes toward the inside of the housing.

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 adaptive harness includes a neck girth loop and a torso girth loop. Each loop has lateral arcs on opposite sides of and extending in directions substantially parallel to a sagittal plane. Each of the lateral arcs has an adjustable length. The loops are connected to one another ventrally and dorsally. The harness further includes a tension force transfer path that extends circumferentially along the neck girth loop from a tension force redirector, or ring, on the neck girth loop in the sagittal plane through the lateral arcs of the neck girth loop. The harness further includes a tension force conduit, or strap, secured along the path. When a tension force is applied to the strap outwardly from the ring, such as the pulling of a leash attaching to a leash coupling on the strap, the lengths of the lateral arcs of the neck girth loop are shortened, resulting in a better fit of the harness to the subject.

The present invention relates to a retractable leash device primarily comprised of a housing, a disk, a leash and a harness and/or collar. The housing is preferably circular and houses a rotating and locking disk, wherein the housing attaches magnetically to a flat bottom member and the member attaches to a magnet located on the harness or collar. The disk further receives a leash that can be retracted within the housing around the disk for storage when not in use. In addition, one embodiment of the device may allow for the attachment of a second device that has an additional tether, such that a user can tether a second animal to the device as it is worn by a first animal. Therefore, a user can walk multiple animals using only one leash, and wherein the tether can still be stored within the housing when not in use.
