The drink, in particular, is applied to companion animals, namely cats and dogs (RU No. 2468596, prototype).

The disadvantages of the known compositions of fortified and mineralized water are a narrow spectrum of their use and low biological activity, which does not allow to ensure the optimal state of physiological reactions of the nervous system of cats and dogs, strengthen the cardiovascular system and the healthy state of the genitourinary system, which does not allow to ensure the full functioning of such pets . Some components of known formulations are not acceptable during lactation of animals.

An object of the invention is the creation of effective biologically active fortified drinking water for cats and dogs, as well as the expansion of the arsenal of biologically active fortified drinking water for cats and dogs.

The technical result for solving the problem lies in the fact that the improvement of the state of the nervous system and psycho-behavioral reactions in cats and dogs, especially during pregnancy and lactation, as well as the strengthening of the cardiovascular system with a reduced risk of arrhythmia and stenosis (nervous system) and reducing the risks of ischemia due to the positive effect on the walls of blood vessels, the healthy state of the genitourinary system, which is generally aimed at ensuring the full functioning of domestic animals.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that water for cats and dogs contains drinking water, vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 and H, silver, iron, calcium, zinc and potassium ions, chlorides, sulfates and bicarbonates in the following mass content of these components:

Thiamine B1, mg / L 0.5-6 Riboflavin B2, mg / L 0.3-2 Pyridoxine B6, mg / L 0.3-4 Cyanocobalamin B12, mcg / L 0.2-2 Biotin N, mg / l 0.05-0.7 Silver ions Ag ²⁺ , mg / l 0.003-0.1 Iron ions Fe ²⁺ , mg / l 0.05-1 Calcium ions Ca ²⁺ , mg / l 1-10 Zinc ions Zn ²⁺ , mg / l 0.3-10 Potassium ions K ⁺ , mg / l 0.3-3 Chlorides Cl ^- , mg / l 30-300 Sulfates SO ₄ ^2- , mg / l 50-500 Bicarbonates HCO ₃ ^- , mg / l 20-200

Preferably, the water additionally contains methionine at its mass content of 0.1-1 mg / l, its total salinity is 200-1000 mg per liter, and its hardness is 5-7 mg · equiv / l. Preferably, the water is prepared using drinking artesian water.

The mineral ionic composition and vitamins of biologically active fortified water for domestic animals with their selected content in the aggregate significantly positively affect the general state of the nervous system and psycho-behavioral reactions in cats and dogs, including during pregnancy and lactation.

The preparation of this fortified water is advisable using artesian water of the Jurassic horizon, which has the most suitable mineral composition.

To ensure the technological production of fortified biologically active water, preliminary preparation of a concentrate suitable for storage and transportation is provided, which provides for:

- preparation of a mixture of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, H and minerals at an enterprise certified for the production of vitamin and mineral premixes according to the customer’s recipe - 1 kg sample, drinking artesian water heated to 45 ° C, then:

- mixing for 7 minutes with vigorous stirring;

- installation of the concentrate in a dark room for 24 hours;

- filtering the concentrate through a 50 micron paper filter.

Then the concentrate is aged for 12 hours at a temperature of 30 ° C for ideal dissolution and distribution of vitamins and amino acids.

The production of ready-to-drink fortified biologically active water for cats and dogs involves dissolving in a tank with a capacity of 1000 liters in 495.5 liters of drinking artesian water with a temperature of +10 to + 25 ° C concentrate in the amount of 500 grams, thoroughly mixing and introducing (if necessary) the rest components and thoroughly stirring for 3 minutes.

Quality control (content of declared substances) is carried out by a certified laboratory.

Given the possibility of decomposition of certain vitamins when exposed to direct sunlight, the water is packaged in a container that excludes direct exposure to sunlight and, thus, retains its properties for a shelf life of 1 year at a temperature of 5-35 ° C.

A balanced vitamin and mineral composition is selected based on the physiological characteristics of cats and dogs, also for the early postnatal period: puppies, kittens. The amino acid methionine is involved in lowering the pH of urine, which prevents the formation of kidney stones. A balanced complex of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, H (biotin) has a positive effect on the state of the cardiovascular system.

The mineral composition and vitamins B12, P positively affect the general condition of the nervous system and psycho-behavioral reactions in cats and dogs during pregnancy and lactation. Vitamin B ₁ (thiamine), iron and zinc are necessary for the normal course of growth and development processes and helps to maintain the proper functioning of the heart, blood vessels, nervous and digestive systems.

Vitamin B _{2 is} necessary for the formation of red blood cells, antibodies for the regulation of growth and reproductive functions in the body. It is also necessary for the health of the skin, claws, hair growth, digestive system and in general for the health of the whole body, including thyroid function.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine) improves metabolism in the brain tissue, as it is the main catalyst for the exchange of amino acids, the synthesis of most neurotransmitters of the nervous system. Thus, vitamin B6 increases the efficiency of the brain, improves memory and mood. Therefore, the normal distribution of glucose with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine) has a beneficial effect on the central and peripheral nervous systems, increases mental, physical performance, strengthens the nervous system.

Vitamin H is part of the enzymes that regulate protein and fat metabolism, has a high activity. Participates in the synthesis of glucokinase, an enzyme that regulates sugar metabolism.

Together, a balanced complex of B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, H) positively affects the state of the cardiovascular system.

The presence of potassium, the amino acid methionine, is necessary for the full life and health of the urinary system of cats by lowering the pH level of urine, and prevents the formation of kidney stones.

Thus, the claimed water exhibits a wide range of biological effects in the complete absence of toxicity.

Water molecules combine with each other, forming whole associations, which are called clusters and clathrates. Clathrates are compounds (inclusions) formed by the inclusion of molecules of the components of a composition called “guests” in a cavity of a framework composed of water molecules. The synergistic effect of the components of the claimed water is due to the fact that the dissolution of the components of the claimed composition is accompanied by a restructuring of the structure of water, its clathrates, i.e. structuring the state of water.

To confirm the effectiveness of animals receiving the claimed water, tests were conducted under the supervision of a practicing veterinarian, in which groups of 12 adult cats (including 4 cats over 5 years old, 3 nursing cats and 2 pregnant cats), 10 kittens up to 6 months old, 10 dogs (from there are 3 of them during lactation) and 10 puppies up to 9 months old received for six months without limiting the amount (optional) of water with the claimed composition shown in the table.

Control groups of 8 adult cats, 10 kittens up to 6 months old, 8 dogs and 10 puppies up to 9 months old received water for six months without limiting the amount (optional) from the city water supply in Moscow.

Cats that consumed this water for six months had 20% less thrombosis and thrombophlebitis than the control group that consumed water from the Moscow water supply system. The overall mortality in dogs from non-communicable diseases that consumed the claimed fortified water decreased by 15% compared with the control group that consumed untreated water from the Moscow water supply system.

The number of nervous disorders in nursing cats decreased by 10% compared with the control group, which consumed water from the water supply system.

The use of water of the claimed composition reduced the incidence of urolithiasis in cats older than 5 years by 35% compared with the control group. Side effects of the claimed water are not identified.

As a result of the invention, the state of the nervous system and psycho-behavioral reactions are improved in cats and dogs, especially during pregnancy and lactation, as well as the strengthening of the cardiovascular system with a decrease in the risks of arrhythmia and stenosis (nervous system) and a decrease in the risk of ischemia due to the positive effect on vascular walls, a healthy state of the genitourinary system, which is generally aimed at ensuring the full functioning of domestic animals.
