A sprocket adapter configured to roll up a waste pad. The sprocket adapter includes a sprocket, a first tube, a second tube, and a set of fins. The first and second tubes extend from the sprocket configured to couple with the take-up rod. The set of fins extends from the first side of the sprocket to couple with a pet waste pad. An end cap is configured to removably couple to a sprocket adapter comprising an aperture having two slotted portions, and a set of flaps. The aperture fits around the first tube of a sprocket adapter. The two slotted portions fit around a set of fins of a sprocket adapter. The set of flaps couple to the sprocket adapter. A take-up rod is configured to couple with a sprocket adapter. A pet waste roll assembly comprises a sprocket adapter coupled to an end cap and a take-up rod.

Animal bedding, such as for a guinea pig, is disclosed. The animal bedding comprises a main section and a pocket. The main section includes a top layer, a middle layer, and a bottom layer. The top layer is hydrophobic, the middle layer is hydrophilic and at least a part of the bottom layer is hydrophobic. The top layer, the middle layer and the bottom layer are attached to one another, such as via stitching along a perimeter of the main section. Separately, the top layer and the middle layer are attached to one another, such as in an interior of the main section, to form quilting in the main section. The pocket, which is attached to the main section, allows the guinea pig to burrow therein.

A pet training pad, comprising an absorbent region; and a border region surrounding at least a portion of the absorbent region including a deformable reinforcement disposed within the border region; wherein the border region including the deformable reinforcement is convertible from a substantially flat configuration to an upright configuration such that the border region including the deformable reinforcement converts from the substantially flat configuration to the upright configuration; and wherein, when the border region including the deformable reinforcement converts from the substantially flat configuration to the upright configuration, the deformable reinforcement bends from the substantially flat configuration to the upright configuration and the border region forms an upright wall.

Disclosed herein in is an absorbent pet pad having erectable edges that define a central region where pet waste in confined. An exemplary embodiment comprises a non-rigid absorbent central region surrounded by edge region. The edge region can be erected to an erected angle, forming a substantially vertical border surrounding the pad. The border serves to retain pet waste, and to urge a pet, instinctively, to locate itself entirely on the pad when expelling waste. The erected angle forming the border may be established and maintained with edge attachment features. The erected edge region may be especially rigid owing to a folded A-shaped cross section.

Disclosed herein in is an absorbent pet pad and method of forming a liquid confining article. An exemplary embodiment comprises a non-rigid absorbent central region surrounded by a non-rigid or semi-rigid edge region. The edge region can be erected to an erected angle, forming a substantially vertical border surrounding the pad. The border serves to retain pet waste, and to urge a pet, instinctively, to locate itself entirely on the pad when expelling waste. The erected angle forming the border may be established and maintained with edge attachment features also referred to as angle maintaining features.

A pet waste collection system includes a multi-layered pad configured to lay flat on a surface and having a top layer to be an absorbent layer; and a ground layer to be a leak-proof layer; a drawstring integrated into the ground layer; and pull tabs attached to the drawstring; a user may pull the plurality of pull tabs in an opposing direction causing the drawstring to tighten to collect pet waste within the multi-layered pad.

A reusable banking device suitable for use in buildings such as an equine stable, the device comprising first and second faces for respectively abutting a wall and the floor of the stable, and a front face extending therebetween, the front face comprising a curved, concave portion.

A pet pee pad pen assembly includes a pen which comprises a plurality of walls being hingedly coupled together. In this way the pen forms a rectangular shape to shelter an animal. A respective one of the walls has a plurality of openings each extending therethrough to facilitate the animal to enter or exit the pen. A base is provided that can be positioned on a support surface and the pen is positioned on the base. A pad is positionable on the base and the pad is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to absorb the pet urine. An insert is positionable on the pad thereby inhibiting the pad from being displaced on the base.

Disclosed is an elastic layer for a mattress structure designed for the comfort of animals in a breeding enclosure, the mattress structure being intended to cover the ground of a receiving area. This elastic layer includes a top face capable of undergoing elastic deformation and that includes a location on which an animal is intended to be supported. The elastic layer is delimited by borders, at least one border being a fastening band intended to receive a structure securing the receiving area with the ground. The fastening band is formed by a lip, the thickness of which is less than the thickness of the elastic layer. Such a structure of the fastening band allows the securing component to be installed at the lip. The securing component can then be protected and covered by the lip, so as to prevent direct contact with the animals.

A bed for at least one animal is provided. The bed includes a strip of belting having a front end, a back end, and opposing sides, an animal bed having a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber. The first fluid chamber is provided within the strip of belting and includes a first width extending between a first side and a second side of the first fluid chamber. The second fluid chamber is provided within the strip of belting and includes a second width extending between a first side and a second side of the second fluid chamber. A first fluid supply tube is in fluid connection with the first chamber, and a second fluid supply tube is in fluid connection with the second chamber, wherein the first and second chambers are fluidly isolated from one another. A method of preparing for use a bed for at least one animal is also provided. In addition, a system for using a bed for at least one animal is also provided.
