Description

[0001] The invention relates to an aromatherapy system for animals, which can contribute to calming and improving well-being, particularly in dogs. However, it is not a veterinary product.

[0002] Aromatherapy refers to the application of essential oils and / or other aromatic plant extracts to achieve specific physiological and / or psychological effects in the human or animal organism. Application is typically via inhalation through the respiratory tract. Untreated plant components can also be used.

[0003] Specifically, the invention relates to an aromatherapy system for attachment to an animal's neck, comprising a base body having a front side and a back side, wherein the front side of the base body comprises a pocket, characterized in that the pocket contains a pad comprising dried plant products.

[0004] The animal can be any domestic or farm animal, preferably a dog.

[0005] The base body preferably has a substantially triangular shape, with the tips being rounded or truncated. The edges can also be concave to allow the base body to fit more easily around the animal's neck. In another embodiment, the base body is semicircular.

[0006] The base body is made of an odor-permeable textile material, preferably a woven material. The odor-permeability of the material ensures that the aromas contained in the pad can be released and easily inhaled by the animal. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the base body is made of double gauze muslin fabric.

[0007] In one embodiment, the base body has a guide tube through which an animal collar can be threaded. In this embodiment, the base body is not attached directly to the animal's neck, but rather via the collar. The base body can also have additional closure elements on the front and back in the area of ​​the guide tube, which, when closed, reduce the surface area of ​​the base body. This allows the guide tube to be adjusted to the width of the collar and the size of the animal.

[0008] In a further embodiment, the base body is attached directly to the animal's neck. The base body has closure elements with which it can be closed around the animal's neck, i.e., the base body is shaped so that it can be placed completely around the animal's neck. The closure elements are preferably located at opposite tips of the base body. The base body preferably comprises a plurality of closure elements so that the base body can be adjusted to the circumference of the animal's neck. The closure elements are preferably snap fasteners.

[0009] According to the invention, the base body comprises a closable pocket. In preferred embodiments, the pocket is formed directly in the base body. In other embodiments, the pocket is attached to the base body. In any case, the pocket is also made of an odor-permeable textile material, preferably a woven material, particularly preferably double gauze muslin fabric.

[0010] In one embodiment, the pocket is mounted substantially centrally on the front. This configuration places the pad containing the aroma substances particularly close to the animal's respiratory tract. In another embodiment, the pocket is mounted on a side edge of the base body. This makes the pocket particularly easy to reach for a human user.

[0011] The bag is sealable, meaning it can be opened and closed by a human user to insert or remove a pad. In principle, any closure element that allows repeated opening and closing is suitable for closing the bag, such as Velcro or a zipper. In a preferred embodiment, which can be combined with the previous ones, the bag is sealable with one or more snap fasteners so that the bag cannot be opened by the animal. This prevents the animal from removing the pad and damaging the pad through accidental consumption. At the same time, the flavorings can escape more easily in this embodiment because the bag is not completely sealed.

[0012] According to the invention, the bag contains a pad which comprises dried plant products. A pad is a small bag which is made of a thin, odor-permeable textile material, preferably a non-woven material such as a fleece, and which is tightly closed after filling. The pad can have any shape, e.g. substantially round, oval, square or rectangular. It contains between 0.5 and 4.0 g, preferably between 0.8 and 1.2 g of dried plant products, wherein the dried plant products preferably originate from hay flowers, chamomile, stone pine, ginger, lemon balm, lavender, hops, cowslip, mullein, rose, anise, caraway, fennel, St. John's wort and / or passion flower.

[0013] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the pad contains 30% hay flowers, 30% chamomile blossoms, and 40% Swiss stone pine flakes. This pad has a calming effect on the animal.

[0014] Hay flowers (Flores graminis), also called grass flowers, are a mixture of various plant parts such as flowers, seeds, leaves, and stem pieces of various meadow plants that arise during hay production. Grasses such as couch grass, brome, timothy, foxtail, sweet vernal grass, and cocksfoot often dominate.

[0015] In another preferred embodiment, the pad contains 30% ginger root, 25% lemon balm leaves, 25% lavender blossoms, and 20% chamomile blossoms. This pad increases the animal's well-being while traveling and can prevent the occurrence of travel sickness.
