A pet ramp is provided having two panels in a collapsible arrangement, with a first panel having legs and a second panel able to be cantilevered from the first panel. The second panel extends beyond the legs and is pivotable to rest on any available surface. A stop is provided between the first and second panels to hold a cantilevered deployed position of the second panel.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems, apparatuses, and methods for exercising and entertaining a pet. In one implementation, a pet exercise and entertainment device includes a launch funnel for launching projectiles for a pet to retrieve. The launch funnel has a feeder and a chute. The feeder is configured to receive a projectile and transport the projectile to an intake end of the chute. A sensor is configured to sense the projectile in the intake end of the chute and to command one or more motors to power up in response to sensing the projectile. An actuator is configured to release the projectile from the intake end of the chute into the launch end of the chute after a pre-determined time has elapsed. One or more wheels, rotated by the one or more motors, are configured to launch the projectile from the launch end of the chute.

Proposed is a pet exercise apparatus including a rotary body which is formed in an erected cylindrical shape, has at least one open side surface, and is disposed to be rotatable, so as to stimulate a pet's curiosity and induce spontaneous exercise thereof without harming the pet's emotions or health. The rotary body includes a tube and a movable ball. The tube has a transparent tubular shape, is partially filled with liquid, and is disposed along the inner circumference thereof. The movable ball is positioned near the surface of the liquid filling the tube. The rotary body rotates according to the movement of the pet who chases after the movable ball, so that the position of the movable ball is changed by a change in the position of the surface of the liquid so as to continuously stimulate the pet's curiosity.

Provided are a walk support device, a walk support method, and a walk support program capable of efficiently walk a pet in a short time. A walk route deriving device includes an acquiring unit that acquires exercise information for specifying the amount of exercise necessary for a pet and a deriving unit that derives a walk route of the pet including a place where the pet is running on the basis of the exercise information.

A neuro-muscular rehabilitation device for quadruped animal, specifically canine and equine animal. Said device comprising elastic compression bands to be worn laterally around the length of the quadruped animal and around its midsection. The device providing mild compression upon the contacted muscle groups to facilitate tension force transfer between moving parts of the animal.

A training system having a support structure, where the support structure includes two or more supports forming a tunnel shape, resulting in two or more openings in the structure. The supports of the support structure also having one or more adjustment mechanisms and skin pieces. The supports, the ground, and a boundary wall defining an inner training area. The inner training area being adjustable in volume.

A kit for building a module for a pet comprises two bases and at least three wall panels. Each base comprises a base body extending along a first plane, a base contour wall extending substantially perpendicular to the first plane along its contour and a base secondary wall extending substantially parallel to the base contour wall thereby defining an anchoring space therebetween. Each wall panel comprises a panel body and a panel secondary wall substantially parallel to the panel body for insertion into the anchoring space between the base secondary wall and the base contour wall.

Various embodiments for a self-tipping hurdle for pet training and fitness are described. A self-tipping hurdle may be portable, freestanding, and substantially symmetrical, where the hurdle is not required to be attached to the ground or other surface during operation. The self-tipping hurdle can include a first hurdle base having a first irregular octagonal cross-section; a second hurdle base having a second irregular octagonal cross-section; a first hurdle post coupled to the first hurdle base; a second hurdle post coupled to the second hurdle base; and at least one hurdle board disposed between the first hurdle post and the second hurdle post. The self-tipping hurdle can be configured to rotate a predetermined amount prior to a rotation of the self-tipping hurdle being substantially impeded when the at least one hurdle board is contacted by a pet.

An apparatus, systems, and methods of providing enrichment to poultry during raising or maintaining of the poultry. One or more light sources project beams to generate laser spots at and around the poultry. A control regimen moves the light spots relative the poultry in generally random fashion during timed sessions for each given time period (e.g. each day). The spot movement is designed to promote benefits to poultry and producer in correlation to experimental data related to animal welfare, health, and commercial value.
