Importance of Disinfectants in Pet Facilities to Kill Pathogens and Prevent Infectious Disease

Comparing disinfectants is a confusing but important process when it comes to the types of pathogens they can kill in a pet facility, such as veterinarian office, boarding kennel, groomer, shelter, doggie daycare, kennel, or homes.

The disinfectant must follow an EPA-approved standardized test method in order to get a claim listed for each pathogen on the disinfectant label.

Your veterinarian may prescribe the use of a nebulizer to administer saline, albuterol, antibiotics, or other medications for your pet's relief.

Keep Flies Off Your Pets

By Lambert Vet Supply | 4/26/2018 | Posted to General

Yep, it’s fly season again. You can bet they will be out in force as warm weather shows up. Flies get a bad rap and they should.

Researchers suspect flies transmit at least 65 diseases to humans including anthrax, e coli, dysentery, and a lot more deadly illnesses. Pets don’t escape a fly’s wrath either. Biting flies will try to inflict infection and disease on dogs and cats whenever they can sink their choppers on their prey.
