This invention, which is for a disposable doggie diaper, was created from our own need in the recent past. Our little dog had surgery near his rectal area, and the small amount of continued bleeding during post surgery was causing a problem, but in searching we found there was no disposable diaper on the market made specifically for dogs. We modified a baby disposable diaper to fit by cutting a hole in the rear and adjusting the size to fit our little Shih-Tzu dog. It worked like a charm. From that experience, we created this invention of the disposable doggie diaper for dogs to provide a simple solution for other dog owners. We have discussed this invention with other dog owners and veterinarians and received very positive results, They all agree there is a definite need for the disposable doggie diaper.

An apparatus provides a watering station dispensing clean drinking water for dogs and other animals. The water is dispensed once the apparatus detects the presence of the animal. A solenoid valve regulates water flow in accordance with signals from the sensor. The water is fed to one or more water outlets either along a surface of the bowl or elsewhere along the housing of the watering station. The water is received from an incoming water supply line, which may be connected to a fresh water line within the dog owner's house or other building. The watering station may be installed in the owner's bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, outside, etc. Any water not consumed flows by gravity down a drain and can be disposed of through a wastewater line. This effectively eliminates standing water in the bowl. Various sizes of the watering station can accommodate different sized pets or other animals.
