Maintaining cleanliness in pet friendly hotels (kennel cleaning) may not be the most glamorous aspect of operating a pet business. Yet, it stands out as crucial in impressing your devoted dog-loving customers.

With so many options, pet owners can be choosy about what kennel will board their dog or cat. Undoubtedly, they’d want only the best and cleanest where their fur babies are least likely to contact ticks and diseases. Therefore, we have created this article to help you keep your customer’s dogs and cats healthy while helping your business thrive by following a pet friendly kennel cleaning protocol.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  1. Begin the kennel cleaning process by ensuring the animal is removed. Never leave a pet in the kennel during cleaning; instead, place the dog or cat in a separate holding area.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Take out feeding and water bowls, bedding, and toys from the kennel.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Clean bowls by immersing them in a diluted disinfectant solution. Rinse, dry, or run them through a dishwasher. Machine-wash blankets and other soft bedding.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Scoop all solid waste from the kennel and sweep up any fur or hair.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Rinse the kennel thoroughly with hot water.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Dilute disinfectants and cleaning agents according to the manufacturer’s instructions, preventing damage to metal cages or harm to animals. Apply a pet-friendly cleaning solution to all surfaces and clean meticulously.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Starting from the top, scrub the entire kennel with a stiff-bristled brush. Ensure thorough cleaning of the ceiling and walls above dog height, as disease can be transmitted from any unsanitized section. Pay attention to resting boards, doors, hinges, latches, and surfaces between the runs.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Allow the cleaning solution to dwell as instructed.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly with water.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. To keep the kennel floors clean and dry, it’s recommended to use a squeegee to remove any excess water from the walkway leading to the kennels. Begin with the first kennel and use the squeegee to push any remaining water on the floor towards the drain. Allow the floors to air dry before moving on to the next kennel. Consider using fans or other ventilation to aid in drying.<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Replace clean food and water bowls, bedding, and toys. The kennel is now ready for the animal.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Dirty kennels not only emit unpleasant odours but also jeopardize the animals’ well-being. Take, for instance, the highly contagious\u00a0<\/span>Canine Parvovirus Type 2<\/a><\/span>, commonly referred to as parvo, which spreads rapidly through direct contact with faeces. Negligent cleaning practices significantly elevate the risk of disease transmission among dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Kennel cough<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> or canine infectious tracheobronchitis, earned its name due to its rapid transmission in confined spaces such as kennels. This infection, existing in viral and bacterial forms, is disseminated through the airborne droplets expelled when an infected dog sneezes or coughs. Employing proactive measures for kennel cough cleaning and prevention proves to be an effective strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Dogs should receive vaccinations for both of these diseases. Nonetheless, even a vaccinated pup can contract kennel cough, similar to how a vaccinated person may still be susceptible to the flu.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Cat owners encounter similar risks when boarding their pets. Though rare, feline respiratory disease complex,\u00a0<\/span>kennel cough in cats<\/a><\/span>, can affect cats in crowded and unsanitary environments. Moreover, there is a potential for transmission of kennel cough from infected cats to humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Effective prevention for all these conditions involves comprehensive kennel cleaning using a high-quality kennel floor cleaner and adhering to a thorough disinfection protocol.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
