Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pest control system which includes a pest control active ingredient and isodiphenyl phosphate as a carrier for the active ingredient. The system releases the active ingredient efficiently and uniformly. The pest control system is less irritating to the animal's skin as compared to prior art systems. The system is useful for making animal collars, ear tags, pest strips, liquid spot-on treatments, and the like.
Abstract:
A spot-on pesticide composition for animals, specifically mammals, including dogs and cats, which composition comprises a combination of active components, the active components being a combination of a neonicotinoid and a pyrethroid, and optionally comprising an insect growth regulator, in doses and proportions which are parasiticidally effective against a variety of insects and pests, and in a formulation which is convenient for local application to the animal's skin, preferably localized over a small surface area.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a moist pet treat and a method of making the pet treat. More particularly, the invention relates to a moist pet treat comprising an animal by-product selected from the group consisting of a snout, ear, lung, heart, brain, cartilage, organ tissue, muscle tissue, and bone tissue and a humectant.
Abstract:
Novel plant essential oil-based antimicrobial filming compositions that are useful in protecting, repairing and strengthening the natural slime coat found on fish are disclosed, which compositions are comprised of a mixture of plant essential oils having antimicrobial properties, filming agents, and surfactants.
Abstract:
A puffed pet treat and method of making are disclosed. The puffed pet treat is comprised of a starting material that is an animal part, which is treated, sliced into small portions, and exposed to high velocity hot air causing rapid heat transfer within the small portions causing the water contained in the material as moisture to undergo a rapid phase change from liquid to steam which softens and expands the material thereby forming a puffed product.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pest control composition that includes a pest control active ingredient and a polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene ether of a long chain fatty alcohol as an agent to reduce or eliminate paraesthesia of the active ingredient to a warm blooded mammal. The system releases the active ingredient efficiently and uniformly. The pest control formulation is less irritating to the animal's skin as compared to prior art systems. The formulation is useful for making animal collars, ear tags, pest strips, liquid spot-on treatments, and the like.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for killing parasites that includes topically applying onto a companion animal a composition including a natural, non-synthetic active ingredient. The composition may be applied to the animal in various forms, such as a spot-on, shampoo, an on animal spray, or an on animal powder. The present invention further relates to a topical composition for killing a parasite that includes at least one natural active ingredient.
Abstract:
