Abstract: The present invention relates to a walking training apparatus.

Abstract: A feet washing system has a generally rectangular trough with a planar floor, an anterior side wall, a posterior side wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall. The system has an anterior raised floor support, a posterior raised floor support, and a middle floor support. The system has a fluid inlet and a drain outlet. The system has a generally planar perforated raised floor component. The system has an agitation pump operatively connected to a power supply. The agitation pump is located between the floor and the raised floor component. The system has an anterior side rail located on a top surface of the anterior side wall, a first side rail located on a top surface of the first side wall, and a second side rail located on a top surface of the second side wall.

Abstract: A pet wash tub includes a funnel-type hair-diverter arrangement established at all corners near the drain, to slope from the front and sides of the tub, angled downwardly towards the drain. The tub is located inside a pet wash station, which includes a wash room and an equipment room. Specifically, the tub is located in the wash room that includes a floor with a slope that acts to rinse water spilled onto the floor under an opening under a dividing wall between the wash room and the equipment room. A collection trough is located in the equipment room to collect the water as it drains from the wash room. Further, the equipment room includes a control panel and hose extensions for air and washing water/soap such that a user can activate the various systems depending on preference while washing a pet.

Abstract: A bathing tub for pets includes a basin with lateral wings projecting from opposite sides. The wings are useful as handles and work surfaces, and engage the rim of a sink into which the tub is placed to prevent the tub from tipping. One or more interchangeable elements can be snapped into the center of the basin to construct a mound assembly in the center of the basin of the proper height for a particular animal; the mound height can be changed, by adding or removing elements, for other animals. While being bathed, the pet stands in the basin with its feet straddling the mound; this prevents the pet from sitting or lying down in the tub. Restraining straps may be applied through slots in the tub to keep the animal in a correct position.

Abstract: A pet washing restraint including hollow support member, preferably having a pyramid-like shape and also having a base end and a distal end, the support member tapering from the base end. Spaced apart suction members are connected to, and face away from, the base end and are adapted for releasable attachment to an upright wall surface of a bathing tub. A pet torso-engaging strap is attached to, and extends from the distal end for engagement around a torso of the pet. The support member is sized in length to position and restrain the pet held within the strap encircling the torso of the pet from substantial movement centrally within the bathing tub. A second restraint acting together in side-by-side fashion may also be provided for enhanced pet movement control.

Abstract: An enclosed bathing apparatus for animals includes an enclosure having a floor, a front wall, a rear wall that is taller than the front wall, a pair of side walls, and a top wall connected to each of the rear and side walls. A gate for allowing access to the interior of the enclosure is provided and includes a locking mechanism for securing the gate in an open or closed position. One or more attachment units are provided for securing an animal inside the enclosure and a water ingress and egress is provided.

Abstract: A pet bathtub includes a bathtub body having a bathing chamber covered with a hinged cover, a drain pipe for carrying water away from the bathing chamber and an open entry through which the pet extends its head out of the bathing chamber, a water supply unit having a water intake pipe installed in the bathtub body and connected to an external water source and water spray tubes arranged in the cover for ejecting water from the water intake pipe into the bathing chamber, and an air supply unit mounted in the bathtub body and having an air delivery tube with an air nozzle for ejecting forced air to dry the pet.

Abstract: An apparatus for bathing an animal includes a tub supported in an elevated position upon a plurality of elongate legs. A tether includes at least one coupling for releasable connection to a fixture in the form of a slot in the rim of the tub to restrain movement of the animal. The coupling is received in the slot such that tension applied via a flexible member holds the coupling in engagement with the fixture throughout an angular range subtended between the flexible member and the fixture to restrain an animal that is within the tub. To avoid trauma to an animal leaping from the tub while tethered, a tensile load applied through the flexible member, when the animal is suspended by the tether assembly outside the tub, separates the coupling and fixture to release the animal.

Abstract: A pet washing station apparatus in combination with a supply of water adapted for washing a domestic animal having a collar attached to a collar fastener extending from a leash secured to a basin sidewall extending from a basin bottom and ending at a basin upper lip. The upper lip is configured with plural compartments for receiving pet accessories. A converter integrated into the basin sidewall is included for converting the water supply for washing the domestic animal, the converter including an integrated heating source and a distribution system for receiving the water supply and distributing the converted water to the interior of the basin. The distribution system may include a water connector and a spray nozzle for conveniently distributing the converted water to the apparatus.

Abstract: A pet bathing apparatus includes an inner casing defining a space for accommodating a pet and having a transparent door for entrance and exit of the pet, an outer casing provided outside the inner casing and spaced apart from the inner casing, and a base part including a support plate having openings and a net arranged on the support plate. A spray nozzle unit distributes water into the space and includes a plurality of fixed and rotary nozzles. A water supply unit includes a main tube coupled with a plurality of branch tubes, which are coupled with the spray nozzle unit, a water feeding pipe defining a water supply path to the main tube, and a container for supplying shampoo to the water feeding pipe. A drain unit collects and removes water, and a blowing unit provides air to the inner casing.

Abstract: A device for restraining a pet such as a dog or cat or any other animal while being bathed or groomed. The device includes adjustable straps connected at one end to suitable suction cups which are secured to a surface when used. The opposite end of the straps are secured to a swivel snaphook such that the swivel snaphook is substantially at a mid-point between the suction cups. The straps can be held in place at the connections by use of strap adjusters so that the length of the device between the suction cups can be adjusted.

Abstract: An animal bath including a container for holding bathwater and having an open top portion in which an animal can be placed and having a lid for sealing the open top portion of the container. A first opening in the lid permits the head of an animal to project outside the sealed container and a second opening in the lid enables the person bathing the animal to extend an arm into the container.

Abstract: An animal-containment device that enables quick and easy containment, such as bathing, of a household pet. The device includes a basin that may be easily manufactured in a unitary piece. The basin includes at least one adjustable strap attached between the sides of the basin. The strap is secured in elongated slots along the sides of the basin over the back of the pet being bathed. A central hump is formed on the basin floor that conforms substantially to the underbelly of the pet. The hump prevents the pet from sitting down during the bathing process. An adjustable collar restraint strap is attached to an additional slot. The collar restraint strap is attachable to a standard pet collar. The pet is immobilized by way of the hump and adjustable straps. A drain with a removable plug is included at the bottom of the basin that is attachable to a standard garden hose for removal of bath water. Assorted bathing accessories are also included for attachment around the lip of the basin.
