  • Publication number: 20190208745
    Abstract: A pet watering fountain includes a bowl having a wall extending to a floor. The floor includes a lower area defining a sump with a sump floor. The sump floor has a height lower than the height of the surrounding portion of the floor. The housing divides the basin into a drinking basin and an interior basin. The drinking basin is accessible to an animal while the interior basin is located behind and underneath the housing and is not accessible to the animal. The pump has an inlet plate with inlet openings located near the bottom of the pump below the level of the bowl floor surrounding portion so that the bowl floor surrounding portion may be devoid of water yet the pump may still have enough water to keep it pumping and prevent it from overheating due to the water within the sump above the inlet openings.

  • Patent number: 9464476
    Abstract: A wall entry tunnel for use with a pet door. The wall entry tunnel extends through a structural feature and forms an enclosed passageway connecting the interior and exterior frames of a pet door. The length of the wall entry tunnel adjusts to fit walls of various thicknesses. The wall entry tunnel includes modular components that facilitate compact packaging and are readily assembled to construct the enclosed passageway with a perimeter sized to match the size of the pet door opening.

  • Patent number: 8887666
    Abstract: A submersible, universal water fountain system for an animal watering vessel. The system includes a port for discharging water into the vessel, a housing which has an inlet through which water is drawn from the vessel, and a pump for drawing water through the inlet and forcing the water from the housing through the port back into the vessel. The port discharges water in a pattern to diminish overspray outside the vessel and create a stream-like flow path of water movement in the vessel to enhance the water drinking experience of an animal.

  • Patent number: 8387566
    Abstract: Described is a gravity-induced automatic animal watering/feeding device that promotes increased sanitation and minimizes the amount of water/food spilled from the device in the event the device is overturned. More specifically, the animal watering/feeding device presents consumables, including water and animal food, to the animal using a receptacle that is removable from the remainder of the device. Because the receptacle is removable, it is easily replaced and/or removed for cleaning such that sanitation of the animal watering/feeding device is easily maintained. Additionally, selected components of the animal water/feeding device are releasably locked to one another such that the device minimizes the amount of water/food that is spilled from the device in the event it is overturned.

  • Publication number: 20120234247
    Abstract: A heated pet pad having a substantially oval shape and including a heating element to produce heat within the pet pad, a reflective layer mounted adjacent to the heating element to reflect heat toward the animal, and a support layer to contain the heating element and the reflective layer within the pet pad, the support layer including a plurality of support members extending from a first surface thereof to simulate a mattress spring, and a plurality of feet members extending from an opposite surface of the support layer to raise the pet pad off the external ground surface to inhibit heat loss.

  • Publication number: 20080283513
    Abstract: A heating pad for use with animals, or pet heating pad. The pet heating pad provides a pad with a cushioned exterior and a flexible but resilient interior that prevents overheating by maintaining or returning the pet heating pad to a flat profile. The pet heating pad heating system includes a heating element with temperature limitation controls for safe operation surrounded by layers of material selected for temperature control properties. The result is a pet heating pad that substantially reduces or eliminates the problems normally associated with heating pads such as hotspots, overheating, bunching, and folding while providing a pet with a physically and thermally comfortable surface upon which to rest.
