A flexible abrasion resistant omnidirectionally reflective retractable pet leash has an omnidirectionally reflective pet leash housed within a retractable housing device. The omnidirectionally reflective pet leash reflects an incoming light beam back in the same direction as it was emanated. The reflected light beam provides accurate illumination of the pet leash and the location of the pet during dusk or nighttime hours. This retractable pet leash is created by surrounding a central braided rope of nylon or polyethylene fibers with a cylindrically braided reflective sleeve. The braided reflective sleeve is composed of braided narrow width reflective strips each comprising a plurality of reflective threads worked together to form a weave. Due to the braided weave of the reflective threads and the arrangement of the microscopic reflectors light incident thereon from virtually any angle is reflected back to its source. Advantageously, the fabric remains supple, facilitating extension and retraction of the leash. The braided construction enables the pet leash to reflect light omnidirectionally over a large angle of acceptance, thereby providing an improved measure of safety for both the pet and the pet handler.

A collar for an animal includes an elongate piece of flexible material having a first end and a second end, the first and second ends configured to be releasably coupled together about the neck of an animal. The collar also includes a lighting system coupled to the piece of material. The lighting system includes a power source and an optical element coupled to the power source. The optical element is at least partially embedded within the piece of material and extends along a length direction between the first and second ends. The optical element further includes an LED that is configured to illuminate a portion of the optical element when the power source is turned on.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method or displaying and attaching a tag to a pet collar. The apparatus comprises a front planar member extending between first and second edges and between top and bottom edges and a rear planar member extending between first and second edges and between top and bottom edges. The apparatus further comprises at least one fastener for mounting the front and rear planar members to a pet collar wherein the front and rear planar members are sized to receive and contain the tag therebetween. The method further comprises inserting the tag between the front and rear planar members and fastening the front and rear planar members to a pet collar so as to contain the tag therebetween.

An illuminated animal restraint includes an elongated leash which has a housing having a selectively enabled wireless lighting assembly. The wireless lighting assembly has a light source connected via a wireless connection to a light transmitting member extending through said tube thereby illuminating the entire length and all sides of the leash. The wireless light assembly may include at least one Light Emitting Diode assembly and a light transmitting member may include fiber optics.

A pet waste collection system includes a first component and a second component detachably connected to each other. The first component has a first inner area to hold a roll of dog waste bags that is formed from a solid outer cylindrical wall and a solid bottom. A first flap encloses a top portion of the first inner area and has an aperture retrieving a dog waste bag. A pushbutton latch secures and releases the first flap. A hook attaches the first component to a dog leash. The second component has a second inner area for holding a filled dog waste bag and is formed from an outer cylindrical wall including a plurality of perforations and a solid bottom. A second flap encloses a top portion the second inner area. A pushbutton latch secures and releases the second flap. A hook attaches the second component to a dog leash.

An illuminated animal restraint includes an elongated leash which has a housing having a selectively enabled wireless lighting assembly. The wireless lighting assembly has a light source connected via a wireless connection to a light transmitting member extending through said tube thereby illuminating the entire length and all sides of the leash. The wireless light assembly may include at least one Light Emitting Diode assembly and a light transmitting member may include fiber optics.

An illuminated animal restraint, illuminated animal restraint package and illuminated animal restraint package display having an illuminated animal restraint including an elongated leash having a user selectively enabled light source. An illuminated animal restraint package for housing and displaying said leash provides access to a control switch for a user to selectively operate the selectively enabled light source with the elongated leash housed within the package. An illuminated animal restraint package display unit includes a plurality of cavities independently supporting and displaying a plurality of packages in an upright position providing a user physical access to activate the control switch and providing visibility of a lighted portion of the leash to the user.

Improvements in a retractable Snap-On Leash is disclosed. The Snap-on Leash is always on the collar and can be used on nearly any collar that is available in the market place. This further allows the retractable snap-on leash to be removed and placed on a different collar when as the animal grows and when the collar wears out or is damaged. The owner simply needs to locate the handle to extend the leash. A lanyard retainer, stop or lock can be incorporated to limit the extension length less than the length of the leash spooled in the housing. The retracting mechanism allows the leash to be retracted automatically at the end of a walk or as the dog changes distance from the owner. The handle conforms to the shape of the housing to minimize a surface that can catch on anything that the dog might encounter.

A dog leash assembly for facilitating hands-free restraint of a dog includes a belt that may be worn around a waist. A pouch is removably coupled to the belt. Thus, the pouch may be positioned on the waist. A leash unit is removably coupled to the belt. The leash unit may be coupled to a dog collar thereby facilitating hands-free restraint of a dog.

A collar primarily designed for use on dogs (although it can be used on humans or other animals) to be used as a method of displaying charms, tags, or other adornments. The method of securing the tags, charms, or other adornments will be separated which prevents the adornments from hitting against each other and making a clanking noise when the animal or person moves while wearing such collar.
