Our animal care products
Tojo Cosmetics currently has some particularly great news: We have expanded our portfolio to include pet care products under the “Elbpfoten” and “Elbpferd” brands! And for good reason, because the market for pet supplies is growing disproportionately year after year. Germans love their pets and have a great interest in contributing to the health and species-appropriate well-being of dogs, cats and other pets.
The market for animal care products is not only aimed at pet owners, but also at vets and veterinary clinics. However, many manufacturers still rely on cheap and inferior raw materials. However, these can cause major problems for our pets. Time and again, such pet care products cause severe itching, skin rashes and even gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhoea and vomiting. But only a healthy animal is a happy animal that feels comfortable in its environment and with its owner. Tojo Cosmetics with its brands “Elbpfoten” and “Elbpferd” therefore takes a different approach and focusses on high-quality and well thought-out products. The focus is clearly on very good application properties. This means that our animal care products for dogs, horses and cats not only impress with their outstanding effectiveness, but also with their optimal tolerability. To achieve this goal, we worked with an experienced vet throughout the development process. She supported us greatly with her extensive and daily practice. With her help, we have developed a high-quality portfolio of pet care products for dogs and cats that is precisely tailored to the special needs of animals and fulfils the requirements of pet owners and vets. So that dogs and cats continue to feel completely comfortable in the future. It goes without saying that we only bring animal care products onto the market that are harmless to human health.
Legal and regulatory aspects for animal care products
Animal care products do not fall within the scope of the Cosmetics Regulation. Article 2(1a) of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 stipulates that only substances or mixtures intended for external use on humans are considered cosmetic products. In addition, Section 2 (3) No. 4 of the German Medicinal Products Act stipulates that care products for animals are not considered veterinary medicinal products and are therefore not subject to the corresponding authorisation procedure, provided that they are actually only intended for the care of animals and do not contain any pharmacologically active substances. According to Section 2 (6) No. 7 “Cleaning and care products” of the German Food, Commodities and Feed Code, animal care products are to be regarded as commodities. They are therefore only subject to the LFGB in this respect, but there is no authorisation requirement. However, both the manufacturer and the distributor are obliged to ensure product safety with regard to human health and to comply with the provisions of the LFGB. The monitoring authorities of the federal states randomly check compliance with the regulations and guidelines. In addition, the Animal Welfare Act must always be observed when using animal care products.

Dogs, horses and cats also need care, otherwise they can become ill. Sometimes there is even a risk of infection: a mite infestation or similar can even be transmitted to humans, for example. With good pet care products, your dog and cat will feel completely comfortable and well-groomed. Tojo Cosmetics is happy to formulate sophisticated pet care products with very good efficacy and maximum compatibility for your target group.
