Abstract

A multi-layered animal garment is disclosed configured to aid shedding of fur from an animal. The garment includes a fur agitation layer comprising a plurality of fur agitation features to facilitate the shedding as the fur agitation layer moves relative to the fur and a mesh layer configured to retain fur pieces shed from the fur.

Claims (19)

1 . A device comprising a multi-layered animal garment configured to aid shedding of fur from an animal, the device comprising:

a fur agitation layer comprising a plurality of fur agitation features to facilitate the shedding as the fur agitation layer moves relative to the fur; and

a mesh layer configured to retain fur pieces shed from the fur.

2 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a decorative outer layer.

3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the mesh layer is located closer to the fur than the fur agitation layer.

4 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the mesh layer includes a grid pattern permitting the fur agitation features to project through the mesh layer.

5 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the mesh layer includes a grid pattern preventing the fur agitation features from projecting through the mesh layer.

6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the fur agitation layer is located closer to the fur than the mesh layer.

7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the fur agitation layer comprises a cloth base portion and a plurality of bristles oriented perpendicularly to the fur of the animal.

8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the fur agitation layer comprises a flexible polymerized plate.

9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the fur agitation features comprise raised sections on the polymerized plate.

10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the raised sections include bristles.

11 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the raised sections include a faceted surface.

12 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the raised sections include a rounded surface.

13 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the mesh layer comprises a first mesh layer; and

wherein the fur agitation layer comprises a second mesh layer and a plurality of beads formed upon the second mesh layer.

14 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the fur agitation layer comprises a plurality of flexible polymerized plates joined together with elastic bands.

15 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the mesh layer comprises a fibrous particulate cloth.

16 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the mesh layer comprises a filter material.
