OSoSwift Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I am looking for suggestions regarding which disinfectants people use. I am looking for one for a boarding kennel situation please. Thank you :) Edited May 27, 2012 by OSoSwift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Oh and the kennels will be connected to a septic system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katdogs Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) There was a freebie given out at last year's Sydney royal called Delete that is impressive. Not cheap but a colleague at work had a little dog with dementia and toileting issues and she found it amazing, at normal strength and also when she was selling her place and had to clean up some extra strong smelly yucky places. Eta dunno about septic system. I grew up with one and you have to be careful. Edited May 27, 2012 by Katdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 I have been reading about Delete looks good. Will ask them about Septics. Having said that the vets I worked at used all kinds and they were on septics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystiqview Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Petway make a pretty good one. Do not know what they call it as it is also sold by a grooming company under another name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I use Delete - its brilliant. Not cheap but don't need much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 F10. Whatever you use should kill parvo as a matter of precaution. F10 and bleach does. I don't know what else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Thats the other thing I am trying to find out, many say they are disinfectants but not that they kill viruses. I don't really want to use bleach, smells a bit well strong and bleachy :) Edited May 27, 2012 by OSoSwift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Yeah, bleach can also burn dog feet, too, if they're not rinsed away properly. F10 is pretty good. I've got that stuff (correctly diluted) in my eyes before (shh, don't tell my employer) and it didn't feel like anything. It smells, but not in an overbearing way (just in an 'that's F10, not water' way). I understand it's really expensive, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willow Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 F10 all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) F10. Was the only thing we used at the shelter due to parvo. It is expensive but you do dilute it quite a bit depending on what you're using it for. Edited May 27, 2012 by Aussie3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Trigene is tops but the company only deals with minimum amounts (can't remember the amount sorry). F10 is my next choice after. I wouldn't consider bleach suitable and it will oxidise metal. Another thing with chemicals to consider is the OH&S risks and I would consider bleach to be a higher risk that Trigene or F10.

OSoSwift Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Trigene I think is one we used at the vet hospital - thank you will check it out. I am guessing the risk of Parvo would be less at a boarding kennel than a vet or shelter but I do want something that kills it to be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Geez just read the precautions for Trigene - goodness me!!! I think we used to just slosh it around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 You could alternate days with the Trigene/F10 and regular disinfectant. Might make it a bit cheaper :laugh: Like you said, the risk is not as high, but it is still there (depending on the clients you accept -- I'm assuming you're talking about regular pet owners). OT but I love the smell of Trigene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I love Trigene as well. I am wondering if a protocal of a cleaner/disinfectant (not the F10 or Trigene) while the dog is there would be acceptable, then f10 or Trigene when they leave and do the walls etc would be seen as competent or if something like F10/ trigene daily is the only way to go? The clients will all be up to date with vaccinations prior to coming in. Edited May 27, 2012 by OSoSwift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karly101 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Virkon S is another one - it is a powder ... 50g makes 5 litres or something. Trigene or F10 are also good but cleaning kennels it will be a bit costly... Common bleach also works but I far prefer the smell of trigene or F10! If you only accept dogs with vaccinations/titre testing and don't take young pups the risk would be fairly minimal. You may just want to use a regular disinfection to do a thorough clean and a mist of the cages with the parvicide once dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 The youngest I will take pups is 4months and of course vaccinated appropriately. And yes, dogs vaccinated or titre tested. Thank you for all the suggestions, you guys are a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MavericksMission Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Another vote here for F10. We use it in the shelter/hospital at work and I also use it at home between fosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
