The invention is generally directed to an improved dog shoe that can be easily and comfortably worn by a dog and is retained on the paw until the user removes it. The shoe includes a bottom sole that provides a support surface between the bottom of the dog's paw and the ground. The shoe further includes a heel portion positioned along the back side of the dog's paw, and a cuff that secures the shoe around the ankle portion of the dog's paw. A tongue extends over the front portion of the dog's paw, through the toes of the dog, and is retained on the front face of the cuff using one or more retention straps. Advantageously, the shoe is securely retained on the dog's paw, allowing the dog the freedom to cover a wide variety of terrains and still protect their paws.

Described is an arrangement for providing a former for a horse's hoof, the arrangement including a sheet being substantially planar and having a first face, the sheet being formed of a compressibly deformable material, the sheet being of a size adequate to accommodate a horse shoe, a layer of adhesive disposed on the first face of the sheet the layer of adhesive being configured to releasably adhere to a horse shoe, and a removable element removably affixed to and covering the layer of adhesive, wherein when a force is applied to the sheet by way of a horse shoe, the sheet is configured to deform in a non-reversible way, so as to form a cavity between the sheet and a horse's foot, along with a method of use of the same.

Dog wear with specific functions for dogs to aid in house training and other issues relating to dog training, specifically indoor marking and urination. The garment includes a pair of leg covering and can be formed to fit over the front legs or the rear legs of the pet. The garment can help to prevent pet accidents by having an absorbent underside portion. The underside portion may be selectively removable, or in some variations, the underside portion may be fully removed to allow the animal free access to relieve itself while still warming the pet and protecting the pet's skin in cold conditions, or for generally covering wounds or hot spots to allow the user to forgo the typical protective cone.

Non-human animal compression therapy devices and methods. In some embodiments, the compression therapy devices includes one or more sleeves, each of the one or more sleeves being configured to fit a limb of a non-human animal, and each of the one or more sleeves comprising one or more inflatable chambers; and a controllable air source operably connected with the one or more inflatable chambers and configured to controllably inflate and deflate the one or more inflatable chambers. In some embodiments, at least one cycle of inflating and deflating of the one or more chambers starts by inflating the most distal chamber. In some embodiments, the compression therapy is given to eliminate or ease suffering from a disease or disorder or a sporting or work-related injury.

The present invention relates to a novel protective flexible sock for animals. The sock is designed to appear like a shoe, and protects the lower leg and paws of animals from hot and cold surfaces, debris, road salt, germs and injury without impacting the animal's gait. The sock is made from a washable fabric, as well as weatherproof material coated with plastic including a heat-resistant felt insole and a rubber gripping exterior sole surface. The insole provides insulation to the paws of the animals and the rubber sole provides increased traction and stability. The sock protects pets from injuries and discomfort such as burning of the paws or developing sores, gait issues and mobility issues with their hips/joints without causing discomfort while wearing the socks. The fibers of the insulating insole absorb heat, swelling and thickening to fill the gaps in the sock.

A shoe is for a hoof of an animal. The shoe has a sole for being mounted to an underside of the hoof of the animal. The shoe comprises at least two fixation areas for fixing the shoe to the hoof in operational use, wherein the fixation areas are located on opposite sides of the hoof, each fixation area comprising at least one protruding element, which penetrates, in operational use, into the hoof for fixing a position of the fixation area relative to the hoof. Each fixation area is connected with the sole by at least one elastic connection. The shoe can comprise an elastic clipping element for applying by an internal pretension force in the elastic clipping element, in operational use, an inwardly-directed pressure on the fixation areas for pressing the protruding elements into the hoof. A mounting tool is configured for applying the elastic clipping element to the shoe.

A poultice application pad includes a generally planar poultice layer for application to a treatment area of a limb of an animal, and a backing sheet, adjacent to the poultice layer, which backing sheet supports and holds the form of the poultice layer when contacting the first side of the poultice layer to the treatment area to reduce application time and displacement of the mud/clay mixture beyond the treatment area. Also disclosed is a set of such poultice application pads stacked one on top of another within a sealable container.

Exemplary embodiments herein describe accessory equipment for equestrian applications, and in particular a flexible protective wrap or boot for supporting and protecting the upper and lower leg of a horse, including the fetlock joint. When wrapped or fastened to a horse limb, the exemplary wrap can impact strength, friction surfaces, elongation, porosity, compression, breathability, water and moisture evaporation, elasticity, absorbency and cushioning. The wrapping structure may include improved limb support, general limb protection, and treatment for swollen legs, fetlock and pastern. Embodiments described herein may include limb protection in general and particularly during trailering and long transit in motor vehicles and trailers, cellulitis treatment, and providing compression that does not disrupt lymphatic flow and blood circulation when wrapping is applied.

A protector worn on a horse leg includes a first piece and a second piece located above the first piece. The second piece is connected to the first piece via a first connecting portion so that the second piece is movable relative to the first piece. A first gap is formed between the first piece and the second piece. A size of the first gap becomes smaller when the horse leg is straightened and becomes larger when the horse leg is bent. Both the first piece and the second piece fit on the horse leg all the time when running, not disturbing the movement and relieving discomfort of the horse.

The present disclosure provides an equine therapy boot and methods of attaching the equine therapy boot to a lower extremity of a horse leg and hoof. The equine therapy boot includes an upper portion and a lower portion and an attachment means for securing the upper portion to the lower portion. The upper portion includes a fluid containment area for holding a thermal control fluid in proximity to a portion of the horse leg selected to receive treatment.
