A stalling cage having a box suitable for containing an animal, a receptacle that contains a liquid to be administered to the animal in the box, and a monitoring device suitable for continuously monitoring the consumption of liquid from the receptacle. The monitoring device has a level condenser with two electrodes in co-planar configuration in contact with the receptacle in order to measure the capacitance variation caused by the variation of the level of liquid relative to the air in the receptacle.

A toy that can be placed on an animal crate as an on-crate treat delivery system. The toy can encourage low-energy positive reinforcement for animals acclimating to a new crate. The toy can be supported by a mesh network of the crate to provide an off-the-ground design that provides a treat to an animal inside the crate and helps keep an animal bed clean by not encouraging licking or chewing the bed. The toy can also be used facing outward from the crate, utilizing the crate as an elevated post for treat consumption.

The pet privacy barrier creates a protected space. The protected space formed by the pet privacy barrier provides a companion animal with a sense of security that allows the companion animal to generate the excretions and eliminations that form the befoulment of the companion animal. The pet privacy barrier comprises a barrier structure, a detachable canopy, and a base carpet. The barrier structure mounts on the base carpet. The detachable canopy removably attaches to the barrier structure. The barrier structure is a vertical structure that forms a portion of the boundary of the protected space. The detachable canopy is an elevated horizontal structure that forms a portion of the boundary of the protected space. The base carpet forms the pedestal of the pet privacy barrier. The base carpet simulates turf to provide a more natural environment for the activities of the companion animal.

A dog kennel that provides a partition wall to separate a kennel into at least two compartments. One compartment is intended to be the living area of the dog and a second compartment is intended to house the food and water for the dog. The partition wall provides an opening for the dog to have access to her or his food and water, while also restricting the dog from entering the food and water compartment. An additional storage compartment may also be provided above the food and water compartment.

A kennel comprising: (a) a feeding system including: (i) one or more water bowls; (ii) one or more water storage in communication with the one or more water bowls; (iii) one or more food bowls; and (iv) one or more food storage in communication with the one or more food bowls; (b) a communication system including: (i) one or more cameras; (ii) one or more speakers; (iii) one or more microphones; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii), and (iii); (c) an entry system including: a cleaning system; and (d) a remote device including an application that is in communication with the kennel so that a user can control the feeding system, the communication system, the entry system, or a combination thereof.

Described are attachment devices coupleable to an animal crate having at least a portion of at least one wall formed from a mesh network having a plurality of openings. The attachment device comprising includes a base member and a spring-loaded crate attachment member coupled to the base member. The spring-loaded crate attachment member includes a first slider piece and a second slider piece. A first force is applicable to at least one of the first slider piece or the second slider piece to move the at least one of the first slider piece or the second slider piece to an insertion state. A spring force biases the at least one of the first slider piece or the second slider piece from the insertion state to an expanded state.

An apparatus comprising at least one access controller device 100, comprising: a controller 104 configured to deliver access signals according to an access schedule based on data entered into the controller by an operator; and a movable barrier 108 configured to be positioned in a home cage 102 between a storage area 116 and a living area 114 and configured to be movable between an access position 112 where there is unrestricted access to an item in the food storage area from the living area and a restricted position 110 where the access is denied. The movable barrier is moved between the access position and the restricted position in response to the access signals. The movable barrier is configured to fit entirely within the home cage and a food hopper of the home cage without making any modifications to the home cage or the food hopper.
