Abstract:
An animal waste removal and collection system may include a waste removal apparatus with a handle, a blade connected proximate to an end of the handle, and a comb connected proximate to the end of the handle opposite the blade. The waste removal apparatus is configured to be supported on a support surface at a first contact point of the blade with the support surface and at multiple second contact points of the comb with the support surface. The animal waste removal and collection system may also include a waste collection apparatus with another handle and a pan connected proximate to an end of the second handle. The pan includes a base and walls extending upwardly from the base, where one of the walls includes a slot to interface with the blade and another one of the walls includes a second comb to interface with the first comb.

Claim (Index 29):
An animal waste removal apparatus comprising:\n a handle, a blade connected proximate to a first end of the handle, and a flexible comb connected proximate to the first end of the handle opposite the blade, wherein the waste removal apparatus is configured to be supported on a support surface at least at a first contact point of the blade with the support surface and at a plurality of second contact points of the flexible comb with the support surface, wherein a center of gravity of the waste removal apparatus is disposed vertically between the first contact point and the plurality of second contact points when the waste removal apparatus is supported on the support surface.
