Sometimes the pets you keep in your home get sick. They can become infected with a virus, develop bacterial infections or host parasites. Prevention is key to protecting their health, they must be vaccinated over a period of time. Veterinarians usually prescribe a vaccination schedule to monitor and follow. In addition, there are other activities related to maintaining hygiene in the home that will preserve the life and health of your pets.

Providing a healthy lifestyle for pets

Clean fur and hair prevention

The biggest challenge for a pet owner is cleaning the hair that is everywhere in the home. Regular brushing with a suitable brush will reduce the amount of hair that is shed. Ideally, you should brush your pet several times a week. You can also do preventive quick brushes to collect hair and prevent it from falling on carpets, upholstered furniture, beds, etc. It is good to carry out this activity outside, so there will be no need to sweep after the procedure. Make sure you choose the right tools according to your pet’s breed.

Regular brushing of the cat will also reduce the health problems associated with swallowing hair balls that lead to constipation. Dogs should not be bathed more than once a month unless they have visible dirt, mud, etc. Bathing too often can dry out the natural oils in a pet’s skin. If cats are sick or elderly, they should not be bathed often.

Clean toys and bowls

You would not want to eat from a slimy or dirty bowl, nor would your pet. In some studies, a dog’s bowl has more germs than a kitchen sponge. It is important to keep toys clean for the health and happiness of your pet. To clean toys and bowls, do the following: add 1-2 drops of the professional product CRYSTAL for hand washing dishes directly on a kitchen sponge. Clean all pet bowls and plastic toys. Surfaces to be treated with water can be cleaned with Crystal. You can also use it for other household utensils such as plates, cups, kitchen equipment, PVC surfaces, enamel, nickel, porcelain, lacquered wood. You will also enjoy a good polishing effect. The product is developed with the requirement for maximum care for the skin of the hands.

Disinfection of the environment

You need to know where the microbes are hiding in the environment. Make a list of each object your pet comes in contact with. These parts must be disinfected. The product we advise you to use is PACHICO DZF SPRAY, it has bactericidal, fungicidal and virocidal action, and the area of application is disinfection of small, hard-to-reach surfaces.

Amphibians, reptiles and birds are also popular pets. Their environment needs to be cleaned regularly to keep them happy and healthy. But these pets need special care because they can carry extremely nasty diseases like salmonella. To avoid the spread of pathogens, wipe the cells and habitats daily, clean and disinfect once a week, wearing gloves. Do not wash the habitats in the kitchen sink.

Make your pet’s health a family routine. Keep in mind that microbes can survive in the environment for a long time. This is especially true for pets that go out all the time. We advise you to consult with your veterinarian what measures to take to prevent the spread of pathogens.

Cleaning after pets

Keeping your home clean is extremely important for both your health and that of your pet. It is also mandatory to choose preparations and biocides that will have an uncompromising effect on cleaning and disinfection, but will be safe for the health of all family members, even four-legged.

Hair

Hair is, perhaps, one of the most common wastes left after a pet. We recommend that you use larger wet towels to quickly clean the hair from wooden floors and tiles. In our opinion, it is good to start cleaning from the edges of the room and wipe to the center of the room. In case you have put a carpet, rug or aisle, go with a vacuum cleaner first, and if necessary, brush with a stiff bristle brush. If you have a staircase in your home, start wiping from the top step by collecting the animal hair from the corners. With the help of the towel you will be able to remove more hair, dust and allergens.

Urine stains

Yes, even the best and meepest pets can have an accident. Or you just recently took a new pet that is just developing its hygiene habits. For this reason, we have prepared some guidelines on how to get rid of the accident. For hard floors, first soak up the liquid with an absorbent cloth. Then clean with a special floor cleaner and rinse with water. For this purpose, you can try DEOFRESH, which is a neutral detergent with a fresh scent. It is suitable for everyday use and provides a protective film on the surface.

In case your pet has left an unpleasant trace of urine on your colored carpet, upholstery or mattress, first remove excess urine with a clean, dry absorbent cloth. Then we advise you to spray with DECIDE OXI. It is a product with a pleasant aroma and active oxygen for cleaning all types of soft surfaces – carpets, rugs, aisles, textile upholstery. Thanks to its special formula you will remove stains and bad odor from urine.

Surfaces in the kitchen

The truth is that it is in the nature of animals to be curious and to have access to every corner of the home, including the countertops in the kitchen or kitchen table. This is especially true for cats. Whether you allow your pet to climb in these places or struggle to keep him away, know that the paws will sometimes touch those surfaces where food is prepared. Even if you do not see real traces of the animal, it is good to go through these areas with detergent before and after placing food on the counter. Keep cutting boards, knives and other cooking tools in cabinets and drawers.

The presence of a pet in the home has a positive effect on people. But we must not forget that with it you must maintain proper hygiene to live in harmony with your four-legged friend. It is also advisable to keep cleaning and disinfection products out of the reach of children and animals.
