Kennel cleaning is one of the most crucial elements in keeping the pets at your clinic healthy and happy. By adhering to a proper kennel cleaning protocol, you can maintain the health of your customers' dogs and cats while fostering the growth of your company.
At Alpha Tech Pet our number one best seller, KennelSol Germicidal Cleaner & Deodorant, ensures that kennels are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. We have listed some other tips below on how you can effectively clean your kennels fast and easy.
Steps to Properly Clean a Pet Kennel
- Remove the dog or cat from the kennel before cleaning it. Never keep a pet in the kennel while it is being cleaned. Put the cat or dog in a different holding location until the kennel is finished being cleaned.
- Take away any bedding, toys, and water and feeding containers that are in the kennel.
- Clean the bowls in the kennel by washing them with hot soapy water, and finish by immersing them in the sink or a wash tub with our Steramine 1-G Sanitizing Dish Tablets. Allow them to air-dry before placing them back in the kennel.
- Blankets and other delicate bedding should be machine-washed by using our LaundraPet Eco-Friendly Pet Laundry Detergent. Remember: laundry detergents alone cannot sanitize, make sure to use your machine’s hot-water wash cycle (or a sanitizing cycle if it is available).
- Clear the kennel of all solid waste and sweep up any fur or hair by using our FURemover Broom With Built-In Squeegee.
- Use hot water to wash the kennel.
- Use KennelSol Germicidal Cleaner & Deodorant in addition to our Protexus Handheld Electrostatic Sprayer PX200ES to spray cleaning solution onto all surfaces.
- Use a stiff-bristled brush to thoroughly clean the entire kennel, starting at the top. Remember to clean the walls and ceiling above pet height as well because disease can spread from any unhygienic area. Pay close attention to surfaces between the runs, resting boards, door fronts and backs, hinges, and latches.
- As directed, let the KennelSol Germicidal Cleaner & Deodorant sit for 10 minutes.
- Rinse all surfaces with water completely by using our Red Squeegee to remove excess water.
- Vacuum as thoroughly as you can to dry the kennel or utilize ventilation such as fans.
- Once cleaned, replace any food and water dishes, bedding, and toys in the kennel. The pet can now enter the kennel once everything is back in place.
Choose the Proper Kennel Cleaner to Make Kennel Cleaning Fast and Easy
Cleaning the kennels in your vet clinic on a daily basis is crucial, but it takes a lot of time. Mops, rags, and hoses are examples of older cleaning equipment that don't speed up the procedure. They might also fall short in reducing the chance of cross-contamination. Alpha Tech Pet’s Kennel Cleaning products complete the task quickly while eliminating the risk of cross-contamination.
