The pad is a safe alternative to trim claws over cutting them with dangerous clips that can potentially cut into blood vessels and/or nerves beneath the claw, or the noisy motorized trimmers that are found to cause trauma to animals by frightening them. | 02-06-2014 |
20140196670 | Animal Self-Grooming Device - An animal self-grooming device includes a rectangular sheet of flexible material that has an interior surface and an exterior surface. The rectangular sheet is rolled into a generally tubular-shaped enclosure that is open at opposite ends and includes a longitudinally extending seam. A plurality of bristles or tuffs is affixed to the rectangular sheet substantially along the interior surface. A pair of flexible securement band encircles the rectangular sheet about the exterior surface and has opposed ends that are secured to the rectangular sheet at opposite edges of the seam so as to prevent separation of the seam. A tubular sheath encircles the rectangular sheet and the first and second flexible securement bands. The tubular sheath has opposed open ends that cooperatively align with the opposite open ends of the rectangular sheet. | 07-17-2014 |
20140261223 | Pet Scratcher - This invention is designed primarily for domesticated pets, like dogs and cats to scratch themselves on without the help of their owners.

The pet is able to walk through the opening and as the animal passes through the device wire bristles brush the pet's hair in the natural direction, from head to tail. The distance the animal must pass through while traversing the device ensures that the animal's fur is sufficiently engaged by the bristles to promote a thorough grooming with each pass through the device, while a pathway free of grooming elements is provided for the pet to walk through the tunnel with ease and less trepidation. A barrier crossing and stand alone embodiment are disclosed, along with a method of construction. | 09-06-2012 |
20140144388 | COLLAPSIBLE CAT GROOMING DEVICE - A device for facilitating a cat's self grooming. The device includes a pad for residing upon a planar surface and first and second grooming elements.
