Abstract: An animal drying assembly for drying an animal when the animal has been bathed includes a cone that is positionable on a support surface having the cone being vertically oriented. The cone has an air opening extending therein to pass air into the cone. A member is coupled to the cone and the member is vertically coiled around the cone. The member is biased to spring upwardly thereby positioning the cone in a deployed position. A tube is coupled to the cone and the tube is aligned with the air aperture to pass air into the top end. A blower is insertable into the tube to blow air into the cone for drying the animal. A net is provided and the net is positionable to close the entry opening in the cone to inhibit the animal from exiting the cone.

Abstract: A pet bed having a base and a plush pad within the base which is sized to support a pet thereon. A tubular member is provided having one end affixed to the base and a non-rigid side wall, the non-rigid side wall being extendable from the base in a first orientation forming a tunnel from the plush pad and collapsible in a second orientation creating a side wall to the base.

Abstract: A portable and collapsible housing for poultry or other animals that includes a shelter having a half-lap shape, a base cage having a complimentary half-lap shape, a means for joining the shelter onto the base cage to form the housing is disclosed. A space in the shelter and a space in the base cage communicate with each other through an opening in the shelter. The housing further includes a door frame, at least one door, at least one cantilevered rod, and a ramp. The shelter is transformable into a box shaped container for shipping or storage.

Abstract: Configurable animal housing (caging) is arranged from an assortment of modules consisting of interchangeable frame cores, interstages, walls and divider panels that address a broad spectrum of animal housing needs. Various configurations include both open living and enrichment areas as well as isolation housing and are easily achieved using a quick-disconnect approach to assembly. Animal resistant lock assemblies hold modules together and use a common key to permit rapid changes of configuration without tools. Systems can address configurations for wall mounting, mobile racking, individual, and group housing, and almost any other configuration animal caregivers would want.

Abstract: A pet house substantially formed from a unitary blank of material, foldable from a collapsed state for shipping and storage to an erect state for use. The house includes a bottom having four edges. The house also includes first and second side walls and first and second end walls. The side walls are attached to one another forming an apex at the top of the house. One end wall includes an opening to permit the pet to ingress and egress the house. The bottom includes a slot near one edge for receiving a locking tab which extends from one of the side walls. Fasteners are provided for attaching the first and second end walls to the first and second side walls.

Abstract: A collapsible house that can be easily erected from a compact package. The house has opposing sidewalls, opposing endwalls, a floor and roof sections. The endwalls are collapsible down against the floor. The roof sections are collapsible down against the sidewalls, and the combination of the roof sections collapsed against the sidewalls are further collapsible down against the collapsed endwalls.

Abstract: A knock-down birdhouse including a front member including an entrance, a rear member, a right side member, a left two side member, a floor member, and a roof member including at least two lip members provided at least partially around opposite inside surfaces of the roof member in the vicinity of an edge of the roof member such that the lip members face each other when the roof member is folded in half. In a disassembled state, the roof member may be folded over to accommodate all other members of the knock-down birdhouse. The birdhouse members are retained within the folded-over roof member by the lip member.
