7 . The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a vectorizing compound chosen from oils of organic origin, oils of synthetic origin, oils of mineral origin, oils of plant origin, esters such as succinate, glutarate and adipate mixtures, omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid oils, fatty acid esters, glycol ethers, squalene and squalene derivatives.
8 . The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a plasticizing compound chosen from ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate, dioctyl adipate, diisooctyl adipate, dibutyl adipate, dimethyl adipate, dimethyl glutarate, dimethyl succinate, or a mixture thereof.
9 . The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that it is presented in the form of a collar, bracelet, medallion or textile coating.
10 . The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the cannabidiol is present in the form of a CBD isolate or a CBD oil.
11 . A device for topical application in a thermoplastic polymer matrix, loaded with active ingredients for use in the relief of pain or stress in an animal, characterized in that said device is placed in contact with the skin and/or fur, and in that said polymer matrix comprises at least one non-adhesive thermoplastic polymer chosen from a polyurethane or an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, and in that the active ingredients comprise at least one cannabidiol isolate, free of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or a cannabidiol oil, free of THC and between 0.5% and 20% p/p of at least one essential oil or a compound of an essential oil.
12 . The device according to claim 11 for use in the relief of stress or muscular, joint or rheumatic pain, such as tendinitis, arthritis and arthrosis.
13 . A method of manufacturing a device consisting of a thermoplastic polymer matrix comprising at least one non-adhesive thermoplastic polymer chosen from a polyurethane or an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, and in that the active ingredients comprise at least one cannabidiol isolate, free of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or a cannabidiol oil free of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and between 0.5% and 20% p/p of at least one essential oil or a compound of an essential oil, said method comprising the steps of heating the polymer to the chosen temperature, preparing the active phase, mixing the active phase with the polymer, then shaping the device, characterized in that said method does not comprise a step of adding specific excipients or particulate structures to help incorporate the active ingredients in the polymer matrix.
14 . A product obtained by the method according to claim 13 .
15 . The device according to claim 2 , characterized in that the polymer is an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.
16 . The device according to claim 2 , characterized in that the polymer is a polyurethane.
17 . The device according to claim 2 , characterized in that the cannabinoid derivative is cannabidiol (CBD) free of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
18 . The device according to claim 2 , characterized in that the cannabidiol is present in the form of a CBD isolate or a CBD oil.
19 . The device according to claim 2 , characterized in that the essential oils or monoterpenic derivatives of essential oils are chosen from linalool, menthol or essential oils of lavender, lavandin, Italian helichrysum, cedar, lemon, citronella, carrot, ginger, niaouli, sweet orange, clove, Eucalyptus citriodora, Eucalyptus radiata , peppermint, geranium, valerian, Nepeta cataria , chamomile, ylang ylang, clary sage, mandarin, sandalwood, bergamot, marjoram, frankincense, geranium, thyme, juniper or mixtures thereof.
