System and method for maintaining the hygiene of an animal

Abstract

An animal cleaning device for grooming an animal. The animal cleaning device may include a top portion that includes a plurality of actuators and a bottom portion affixed to the top portion. The bottom portion may include a suction vent, a blow vent, an airflow vent, a brush, and a formulation dispenser.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An animal cleaning device for grooming an animal, comprising:
 a top portion comprising a plurality of actuators;   a bottom portion affixed to the top portion, the bottom portion comprising:
 a suction vent, wherein operation of the suction vent comprises taking air into the animal cleaning device, and creating a negative pressure relative to an ambient pressure in a vicinity of the animal cleaning device; 
 a blow vent; 
 an airflow vent; 
 a brush; and 
 a formulation dispenser, wherein operation of the formulation dispenser causes a formulation to be dispensed, and wherein the formulation comprises a weight percentage of water of less than fifty, and a fluid supply base unit is coupled to one selected from a group consisting of the top portion and the bottom portion of the animal cleaning device, wherein:
 each actuator of the plurality of actuators is configured to operate: suction vent, blow vent, airflow vent, brush and formulation dispenser. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The animal cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the fluid supply base unit comprises a speed-controlled motor,   the speed-controlled motor is configured to:   begin operation at a lower rotational speed corresponding to a lower motor volume; and   increase, after beginning operation at a lower rotational speed, to a higher rotational speed corresponding to a higher motor volume, and   wherein at least one actuator of the plurality of actuators of the animal cleaning device is configured to begin operation of the speed-controlled motor.   
     
     
         3 . The animal cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the suction vent is configured to vacuum from a surface of an animal one selected from a group consisting of a fluid and an item. 
     
     
         4 . The animal cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the blow vent is configured to remove from a surface of an animal one selected from a group consisting of a fluid and an item.
