Description

The present invention can be easily installed in various places and sizes with a plate-like member standing up against the floor surface in order to prevent pet manure from splashing around and protruding. It relates to a pet manure guard.

When pets are excreted in pet toilets that are currently on the market, it has been difficult to clean them by spilling or sticking around the toilet. Particularly in male dogs, this problem was a serious problem in daily life because one leg was raised to excrete urine.

In order to solve this problem, products with a high wall around the toilet are commercially available, but the height is not sufficient and may be compatible with small pets. As it grows, the height may become insufficient, and it may no longer serve as a guard to prevent urine from splashing or protruding. Even if the height is sufficient, since it is integrated with the toilet body, the weight and volume of the toilet body may increase, which is very inconvenient when cleaning. Since the position of the opening is also provided on the long side of the toilet, there is a problem in that, particularly in male dogs, it is often excreted in the opening.

Removable guarded toilets are also available on the market, but any product can only be installed on the toilet body sold as a set, and it is difficult to handle medium and large pets.

Also, during the pet's growth process, it may have been excreted while sitting up until now, but suddenly raise the foot, and the flat type toilet that was used until then was replaced with a guarded toilet. There was also an economic problem that they had to be replaced. Since most of the pet toilets currently on the market are flat type, especially when you keep a pet for the first time, you may buy a flat type without knowing the circumstances of excretion. It seems that there is not much.

In addition, although a folding / L-shaped toilet that is used with one side upright is also commercially available, there is a problem that it is difficult for pets to excrete well only in the tray on the side of the toilet. there were. Even if it was possible, cleaning was difficult, such as manure scattered around the toilet or protruding. In addition, it was difficult for the owner to make a trap so that the pet could be excreted properly in the toilet. Furthermore, since the toilet seat for absorbing urine is installed in an exposed state, there has been a problem that the pet may be mischievous by scratching or biting the toilet seat of the toilet.

In the pole devised for the excretion of male dogs, in order to set up the pole near the center part of the toilet, a somewhat large toilet is required, and if installed in a toilet of a size generally marketed, In some cases, the space in the toilet became narrow. Another problem is that it is easily tampered with, such as getting in the way when dropping, or pets biting the pole.

Other than toilets, especially male dogs may suddenly raise their feet and excrete, but use carts, etc. that are used for pets in gauges, fences, cars, indoors, and shopping centers. When using it, special care was required, and cleaning was difficult when it was excreted.

Also, even if a pet toilet is installed in the room, it cannot be excreted well in the toilet, and may be excreted on walls, pillars, furniture, etc. other than the toilet.
