Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet food technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine-based health-promoting pet dog food. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most mainstream pet dog food on the market is made from a blend of animal protein, plant protein, carbohydrates, flaxseed oil, and antioxidants. Animal protein sources include poultry, fish, shrimp, and squid; plant protein is often derived from soybean meal; and carbohydrates are typically sourced from wheat flour, sweet potato flour, and corn flour. Some products also include small amounts of multivitamins and minerals to supplement basic nutrition. However, the nutritional balance of existing conventional dog food is unbalanced, and long-term feeding can easily lead to nutritional excess in pets, causing internal heat buildup, which can then induce persistent tear stains, chin redness and dermatitis, and itchy, moist skin, among other metabolic and skin problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies by adding medicinal and edible herbs to pet food ingredients, providing a pet health dog food that can alleviate tear stains and has multiple health benefits. The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A type of traditional Chinese medicine health-promoting pet dog food includes animal protein, plant protein, carbohydrates, flaxseed oil, antioxidants, multivitamins and minerals. Its characteristic is that it is prepared by adding chrysanthemum, dandelion, kudzu root, mulberry leaf and platycodon root to the raw materials. The weight percentage of each ingredient is as follows: animal protein 5%-40%, plant protein 10%-20%, carbohydrates 3%-50%, flaxseed oil 1%-10%, antioxidants 0.02%-0.1%, complex vitamins and minerals 0.01%-0.02%, chrysanthemum 0.01%-0.5%, dandelion 0.01%-0.5%, kudzu root 0.01%-0.5%, mulberry leaf 0.01%-0.5%, and platycodon root 0.01%-0.5%. The formula of this invention can also be supplemented with yucca powder and natural yeast fermentation seasoning, with the two accounting for the following percentages of the total raw materials: 0.5%-1.5% yucca powder and 1%-5% natural yeast fermentation seasoning. Yucca powder can decompose fecal odor and reduce the smell of excrement, while natural yeast fermentation seasoning improves the palatability of the food. The combination of the two takes into account both deodorizing function and pet's appetite, forming a differentiated functional advantage. The flaxseed oil in this invention is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids, which can nourish pet hair follicles, improve the condition of fur, make the coat smooth and soft, reduce abnormal hair loss, and keep the home environment clean. Pharmacological effects of each herbal component: Chrysanthemum: Clears heat and dispels wind, clears the liver and improves eyesight. It specifically improves increased eye secretions and stubborn tear stains caused by excessive liver fire in dogs, and its effect on improving tear stains in white dogs is particularly outstanding. Dandelion and kudzu root work together to protect the liver, detoxify, clear heat and reduce inflammation, reduce the metabolic burden on the liver, and clear accumulated internal heat. Mulberry leaves: Clear damp heat, regulate the spleen and stomach, improve soft stools and foul-smelling feces caused by damp heat, reduce the accumulation of dampness in the body, and regulate oily and easily heaty constitution; Platycodon grandiflorus: It clears the lungs and soothes the throat, resolves phlegm and regulates qi, relieves symptoms such as excessive phlegm, coughing and wheezing, and respiratory sensitivity in dogs, clears lung heat, and simultaneously alleviates tear stains and skin redness caused by internal heat. This invention offers the following beneficial effects: a comprehensive and balanced nutritional profile, excellent palatability, and multiple herbal health benefits. The formula combines five medicinal and edible herbs: chrysanthemum, dandelion, kudzu root, mulberry leaf, and platycodon root. Each component works synergistically: mulberry leaf, combined with chrysanthemum, clears liver fire and disperses wind-heat, eliminating the root cause of internal heat and significantly improving severe tear stains, excessive eye discharge, and redness and dermatitis around the eyes and chin; dandelion clears heat and detoxifies, inhibits bacteria and inflammation, relieves itchy and damp skin and various inflammations on the body surface, and clears internal heat; platycodon root opens and disperses lung qi, soothes the throat and resolves phlegm, gently nourishes the respiratory tract, and improves discomfort such as seasonal dry cough, excessive phlegm, and frequent sneezing; kudzu root generates fluids and moistens dryness, regulates lipid metabolism, balances subcutaneous oil accumulation, and prevents pets from becoming overnourished and obese. The synergistic effect of multiple herbs can strengthen a pet's physique and improve its vitality with long-term feeding, making its fur smooth and soft, reducing hair loss, and fundamentally improving a variety of common pet care problems such as tear stains, skin inflammation, obesity, and respiratory sensitivities, thus maintaining the pet's overall health in the long term.
