Description

Companion Animal Therapy Powder {COMPANION ANIMAL THERAPY POWDER}

The present invention relates to a companion animal therapy powder, and more specifically, to a powder composition having a function of protecting and sterilizing the skin of a companion animal through the pharmacological action of natural herbs.

With the companion animal population reaching 15 million, the domestic Petconomy (pet + economy) market is growing rapidly. The number of “pet + family,” meaning people who live with companion animals, exceeded 10 million in 2018 and 15 million in 2019. This means that one out of four households has a pet. In the industry, the companion animal-related market size has grown from KRW 2.89 trillion in 2018 to KRW 5.8 trillion in 2020, and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of more than 10% in the future, and the market size is also expected to increase to KRW 6 trillion.

As the number of people raising companion animals increases, cases of purchasing and using therapy products for the health and beauty of companion animals are also increasing. Many people use essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus to relieve pet stress and improve their mood. However, many of the constituents of essential oils are volatile and pose a risk of being toxic to pets.

Because essential oils are highly concentrated plant components, they are poisonous on a different level from general aroma products, and require careful handling. In particular, among the components of plants, there are trace amounts of toxicity that play a role in self-protection. Even if there is no problem at all when eaten or touched normally, the toxicity concentrated together during the concentration process is quite dangerous. Undiluted stock should never come into contact with bare skin unless it is of a very mild variety. It smells good and is good for the body, but it is dangerous if you just pour it on your skin. A touch of one or two drops can be considered insignificant, but depending on the acidic content, it can be very dangerous.

In particular, when pets eat essential oils, their livers are damaged, and if they eat a large amount, they should be taken to a veterinary hospital. Also, never apply 100% essential oils to your pet's broken skin. The volatile components of essential oils are quickly absorbed into the pet's bloodstream through wounds, putting them at risk of damaging vital organs. If your pet suffers from chemical burns, drools, or vomits from essential oils, take him to the veterinarian right away. Therefore, it is necessary to store essential oils in a safe place and be careful when using them to prevent pets from inadvertently inhaling, sucking, smearing, or eating essential oils.

Conventional therapy products containing essential oils are made of highly volatile liquids, which are inconvenient to use because they overflow or evaporate easily. Therefore, the present invention contains essential oil to protect the skin of companion animals, prevent parasites, relieve stress with a soothing function, and is manufactured in a powder form, so that it is easy to use for companion animal therapy because it is simply sprayed on the body whenever necessary. It is intended to provide a composition.
