A band-like element (10), namely for forming a bridle headband (20), or for forming a decorative band (40) for belts, bracelets or necklaces, which is attachable on the upper side and in the respective longitudinal direction, is designed for simple and secure attaching so as to have versatile usability and comparatively low supply costs such that on both ends (12, 112) of the band-like element (10) a respective magnetic element (14, 114) is arranged for releasably attaching the respective end (12, 112) to a second magnetic element (32). A bridle headband (20), especially a horse bridle headband, or a decorative band (40) for base bodies (50), especially belts, bracelets or collars, comprises such band-like element (10), as well as two counterparts (22, 122, 222, 322), each having a second magnetic element (32), wherein one end (12, 112) of the respective band-like element (10) is releasably attachable or is attached to or in a counterpart (22, 122, 222, 322).

The invention discloses a light up buckle for use with a dog collar. This buckle design comprises a Plastic Computer Board (PCB) which incorporates LED's, a mini-USB port, a switch and a rechargeable battery. The lithium-ion battery is housed within the buckle assembly and is protected from water by means of rubber seals when the buckle is in the closed or locked position. The main components are molded from translucent plastic, to allow the LED's to illuminate the assembly when switched on. There are multiple settings for the LED's to allow for a steady illumination or various flashing/pulsing settings. The buckle is intended for illumination at night to aid the visibility of an owner's canine that wears the buckle on the collar. The buckle can be fitted onto a collar strap or body harness and so has multiple uses and applications. The buckle design is rounded and has smooth edges to ensure no discomfort is experienced by the canine. There is a trigger switch located on the underside of the buckle which is operated by pressing a rubber button that protrudes from the plastic casing. The entire assembly is water-resistant, by means of two rubber components that interlock when the buckle is closed. The pressure between these two rubber plugs ensures water cannot get access to the electronics and battery.

A pet-related system with a first dog collar operably configured to determine if the first dog collar is at or outside of a first user-selected geofence boundary; and a mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to the first dog collar. The mobile electronic device is operably configured to display a user interface of a first instance of a pet-related social network application associated with a first social network identity; receive a user input selecting the first user-selected geofence boundary of the first dog collar; communicate the first user-selected geofence boundary to the first dog collar; and receive a proximity notification of the mobile electronic device's proximity to a second mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to a second dog collar and operably configured to execute instructions of a second instance of the pet-related social network application associated with a second social network identity.

A portable communication device for initiating communication between the dog and the dog owner is disclosed. The device comprises an IR emitter module projecting the series of virtual buttons on the ground and displaying images of the virtual buttons that can be pressed by the paw of the dog. A camera module is provided to record angle of infrared light emitted by the IR emitter module. A sensor module receives information of the angle of infrared light from the camera module and analyzing the information to determine location of the infrared light broken in order to indicate at least one virtual button selected by the dog from the series of virtual buttons. A processor module is configured to perform confirmation regarding selection made by the dog through and passing of information of the at least one virtual button selected by the dog to the dog owner.

An interchangeable collar system includes a base unit and a decorative panel removably fastened to an outward facing surface of the base unit with fasteners. The base unit also has an inward facing surface, a first tab that can connect to a second tab with a coupling component. A method of changing an appearance of a dog collar includes providing the collar base unit and a first decorative panel; removing the panel; and fastening a second decorative panel to the outward facing surface. The inventive system enables the user to switch between multiple designs without requiring the purchase of many collars.

A heated retractable leash is disclosed which increases the comfort of the user by heating the housing of the retractable leash during cold or inclement weather.

A collar device is described herein comprising a spacer component including at least one emitter and at least one detector, the spacer component comprising a plurality of optical pathway elements, wherein the plurality of optical pathway elements comprises a first optical pathway element and a second optical pathway element. The spacer component is secured to the device, wherein the first optical pathway element extends from an emitter, wherein the second optical pathway element extends from a detector. The emitter is configured to project light through the first optical pathway element toward skin tissue of an animal. The detector is configured to detect portions of the light reflected by the skin tissue back through the second optical pathway element. One or more applications running on at least one processor of the device is configured to use information of reflected light to determine a biological metric.

A spraying leash assembly includes a leash unit that has a leash retractably integrated therein such that the leash can be attached to a collar of a dog for walking the dog. A reservoir is coupled to the leash unit and the reservoir is hollow to contain a liquid. A spray nozzle is integrated into the reservoir to spray the fluid outwardly from the reservoir onto the dog thereby distracting the dog from barking. A light emitter is coupled to the reservoir to emit light outwardly therefrom. A handle is coupled to the reservoir and the handle can be gripped for carrying the reservoir and the leash unit. A speaker is integrated into the handle for emitting an audible sound outwardly therefrom to distract the dog from barking.

A collar includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first material strip having a first end and an opposing second end, a first connector coupled to the first end, and a second connector coupled to the opposing second end. The second portion includes a second material strip having a third end and an opposing fourth end, a third connector coupled to the third end, and a fourth connector coupled to the opposing fourth end. The first connector is configured to selectively engage with the third connector and the second connector is configured to selectively engage with the fourth connector to facilitate selectively coupling the first portion and the second portion together.
