Abstract

A pet protection system includes a leg portion having a first end having a first cross-section having a flexible opening to insert a pet foot therethrough; an angled portion coupled to the first end and having a second cross-section greater than the first cross-section; and a second end coupled to the angled portion, wherein the second end has a third cross-section greater than the second cross-section; and a body portion coupled to the leg portion, the body portion forming a loop that fits securely on a body of the pet.

Claims (30)

1 . A pet protection system, comprising:

a leg portion having:

a first end having a first cross-section having a flexible opening to insert a pet foot therethrough;

an angled portion coupled to the first end and having a second cross-section greater than the first cross-section; and

a second end coupled to the angled portion, wherein the second end has a third cross-section greater than the second cross-section; and

a body portion coupled to the leg portion, the body portion forming a loop that fits securely on a body of the pet.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second end has an outer side and an inner side, the outer side being longer than the inner side.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the inner side comprises either a curved shaped top portion or a substantially L shaped top portion of the second end.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second end comprises a tapered shape.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the body portion comprises an elongated shape.

6 . The system of claim 1 , comprising two straps coupling the body portion to the second end.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the body portion tapers into one strap.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the straps comprise a male end coupled to the body portion and a female end coupled to the second end.

9 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the straps are under a pet's belly when used on a hind limb to avoid slippage off a pet's back.

10 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the two straps connect with a male and female buckle fastener to provide reversibility.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one or more portions are glued together, sewn together or fused together by heat sealing to form a seam.

12 . The system of claim 1 , comprising an elastic band at a bottom of the first end to prevent slippage off a foot or up a leg.

13 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a U-shaped area cut-out or a penis hole in the body portion.

14 . The system of claim 1 , comprising one or more attachments coupled to the one of the leg portions at a selected location on a body of the pet.

15 . The system of claim 14 , comprising one or more pet offensive materials coupled to the one or more attachments to the pet to repel it from licking the selected location.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the offensive materials includes pepper, metronidazole, or bitter apple.

17 . The system of claim 14 , comprising wearable electronics coupled to the attachment to monitor or affect a pet.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the wearable electronics monitor one of an activity level, a heart rate, a blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, or temperature.

19 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a hook and loop combination positioned on a selected area for securing a proper fit to avoid slipping or bunching.

20 . A method to protect a pet including a leg portion having: a first end having a first cross-section having a flexible opening to insert a pet's foot therethrough; an angled portion coupled to the first end and having a second cross-section greater than the first cross-section; and a second end coupled to the angled portion, wherein the second end has a third cross-section greater than the second cross-section; and a body portion coupled to the leg portion, the body portion forming a loop that fits securely on a body of the pet, the method comprising:

with the pet lying down to prevent injury or falling, placing the first end portion on the leg portion;

stretching an ankle cuff portion of the sleeve over a pet's paw;

moving the pet into a standing position;

placing the body portion on an inside of the leg and wrapping the body portion around a belly of the pet towards an opposite leg; and

strapping the body portion with the second end to produce a tight fit.
