Abstract: An animal bed includes an annular bed frame defining an interior chamber. A perforated top wall is supported at its periphery by the bed frame to receive and support the animal above the chamber. The perforated top wall is composed of a non-woven fabric material to provide a hammocklike suspension for the animal, and to permit small insects to fall through the top wall. The chamber is dimensioned to provide a space below the top wall sufficient to inhibit the insects from travelling upwardly through the top wall. An insect exterminating composition contained within the chamber receives the falling insects and destroys them.
Abstract: An animal harness having a rectangularly shaped slotted plate for resting on the back of the animal rearwardly of its forward shoulders and a single control strap adapted to be attached to a leash and for cooperating with pairs of rings for defining right and left foreleg slip loops. A pair of restraining straps pass through the rings and are coupled to the plate by a latching arrangement, cooperate with the slip loops to form a block and tackle arrangement which utilizes a pulling force exerted by the animal, to exert a restraining force across the upper foreleg muscles of the animal when the leash is held in a substantially stationary position.
