Pet disinfectants – for veterinary and companion animals

As a veterinary practice, you will be well aware of the disease challenges caused by bringing together numbers of sick animals. Disease can be spread via cross contamination of body fluids and particles directly from animal to animal, animal to human or through indirect carriers such as contaminated surfaces, bedding, feeding bowls or drinkers.

Veterinary biosecurity, in other words, excluding disease-causing organisms from a given environment, is the most effective form of protection against cross contamination and the spread of infection within a veterinary practice.

Biosecurity, in other words, excluding disease-causing organisms from a given environment, is the most effective form of protection against cross contamination and the spread of infection within a veterinary practice.The veterinary clinic can be split into two distinct areas requiring different levels of biosecurity. Low risk and high risk areas:

LOW RISK AREAS

Low Risk Areas such as waiting rooms, floors, corridors and cupboard fronts must be cleaned and disinfected with a Virkon® PROFESSIONAL disinfectant solution at least twice daily. Other areas, such as desks and walls, should be cleaned and disinfected at least weekly.

HIGH RISK AREAS

High Risk Areas such as operating and consulting rooms and tables, and any area where body fluids have been spilt, must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected using Virkon® PROFESSIONAL broad spectrum virucidal disinfectant after each consultation.

Easily applied using a mop, cloth, sponge or spray, Virkon® PROFESSIONAL is ideal for the disinfection of veterinary hard surfaces and equipment, including floors, walls and consulting tables, non-medical equipment, cages, feed and water bowls, leads and toys.
