Abstract:
A sanitary commode facility for animals is presented including an integral tray unit having a rear toilet compartment, a front access compartment, opposing front and rear walls and opposing side walls. The rear compartment is intended to receive therein animal waste-absorbent material and the front compartment is intended to provide an ingress/egress path to and from said rear toilet compartment. The rear wall and rear portions of each side wall are of equal and sufficient height to force an animal to enter and exit the rear toilet compartment only via the front compartment and to confine within the tray unit any particles of the waste-absorbent material that may be scattered by the animal during use of the commode facility. The front compartment includes a recessed portion and a grate disposed above the recessed portion for dislodging, when the animal is exiting the rear toilet compartment, particles of animal waste-absorbent material temporarily clinging to the animal and allowing such particles to drop therethrough into the recessed portion for collection and subsequent removal.
