Description

Pet pill making device

[0001] The present invention relates to a pill manufacturing device for pets that can manufacture pills of an appropriate dosage according to the weight and size of the pet.

[0002] Recently, the number of households raising pets has been rapidly increasing, and rather than animals used to compensate for the loneliness of their owners due to aging populations and the trend toward nuclear families, they are now established as members of the family.

[0003] Meanwhile, if you take your pet to the hospital to treat or prevent an illness (disease, injury), most hospitals will prepare a powdered medicine for you.

[0004] However, these powdered medicines have a bitter taste and strong smell, so many pets find them unpleasant, making it difficult for owners to feed them to their pets.

[0005] Additionally, there is the hassle of having to measure and feed the powdered medicine each time according to the pet's age, size, and activity level.

[0006] As a technology to solve the above-described problem, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 was proposed.

[0007] Referring to the above patent document 1, "The present invention relates to a medication assistance means that can eliminate the complicated preparation process involved in the conventional medication process when medication is required for a companion animal, and is formed through a combination of two components that are made of pet food ingredients, wherein one selected component among the components comprises a drug receiving unit that includes a receiving space capable of receiving a drug therein and further includes an opening that connects the receiving space with the outside at a selected point on the receiving space, and the other component is a closing means for closing the opening on the drug receiving unit."

[0008] The technology of the above-described patent document 1 can manufacture a medicine by mixing a sweetening ingredient (sugar water, honey, etc.) to remove the bitter taste or strong smell of the medicine, but in this case, if a sweetening ingredient containing a lot of sugar is used, diseases such as periodontal disease, obesity, and diabetes may be induced in companion animals, or the efficacy of the medicine may be reduced due to the sweetening ingredient.

[0009] However, the present invention can provide a pet pill manufacturing device capable of manufacturing a pill of an appropriate dosage according to the weight and size of the pet.
