Abstract: The present invention provides an animal grooming device including a front layer including a first material, wherein the front layer has a front layer perimetric edge, and a backing layer including a second material, wherein the backing layer has a backing layer perimetric edge, and wherein at least a portion of the backing layer perimetric edge is coupled to the front layer perimetric edge such that the front and backing layers define a bag-like space. The device also includes a device tip opposite the opening; and a hair collection mechanism coupled to the front layer, the hair collection mechanism including a section having a plurality of primary hooks, wherein each primary hook is unidirectional and has an orientation, a plurality of secondary hooks, wherein each secondary hook is bidirectional, and an anchoring layer to which the primary and secondary hooks are attached.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pet bed that includes a heating layer which is formed of an enclosure and a heating composition sealed inside the enclosure. The enclosure includes a gas-permeable section such that the heating composition generates heat when a gas is received through the gas-permeable section. The pet bed further includes (i) a liner attached to the heating layer to engage a pet as the pet lies on the pet bed; (ii) a conforming layer attached to the heating layer such that the conforming layer conforms to the shape of the pet as the pet lies on the pet bed; and/or (iii) a backing layer attached to the heating layer such that the backing layer restricts movement of the pet bed. The enclosure may further include a cover over the gas-permeable section such that the heating composition generates heat when the cover is removed from the enclosure.

Abstract: An animal shedding control device is provided including a first layer including a first material, wherein the first layer has a first layer perimetric edge, and wherein the first material is hook material having hooks adapted to capture detritus, and a second layer including a second material, wherein the second layer has a second layer perimetric edge, and wherein at least a portion of the second layer perimetric edge is coupled to the first layer perimetric edge such that the first and second layers define a bag-like space that is at least partially enclosed. The first material may be micro-hook material, and the second layer may be a nonwoven, elastomeric, or micro-hook material. The device may be a mitt, a pet bed enclosure, or a grooming tool cover.
