Why do we keep pets? As family companions, how do we get along with pets for a long time? Some pets often go out to interact with the outside environment. How do we protect their health and the safety of ourselves? What do you think? Should we regularly deworm and vaccinate pets, or should we prevent pets from going out to play and deprive them of their happiness? Or use a pet stroller to prevent them from fighting with other friends? Every answer has its own reason. Regular deworming is to prevent zoonotic diseases caused by some parasites. Regular vaccination is also to prevent dogs from getting some malignant infectious diseases. Currently, many manufacturers of imported vaccines are also doing zoonotic diseases. vaccines, but doctors and parents may often neglect this aspect of home disinfection.
Effectiveness of disinfection:The first is to prevent pet diseases and infectious diseases. When it comes to infectious diseases, prevention is better than cure, and avoiding contact with the source of infection is the best way to prevent infectious diseases. The vast majority of sexually transmitted diseases in cats and dogs are spread through feces, respiratory tract fluids, genital tract fluids, or urine. Many infectious diseases have a certain degree of resistance to the environment and can be spread by contact with the infected environment (infectious agent). Because zoonotic diseases such as plague and rabies can be life-threatening, it is extremely important to prevent infectious diseases from changing between animals. To prevent infectious diseases, we must first identify the risk factors related to the infectious disease itself. As a pet doctor, you should try to understand the biological characteristics of each infectious disease entity in order to provide animal owners and staff with the best preventive measures. Some effective vaccines can prevent feelings or reduce the clinical symptoms caused by these infections. However, not all vaccines have good immune effects, or may be effective against all pathogens, and some may even have serious side effects on the body. At this time, environmental disinfection is essential.

Disinfectant types: Disinfectant drugs can be divided into solid disinfectant drugs, liquid disinfectant drugs, and gas disinfectant drugs according to their properties.
1. Solid disinfectant drugs refer to substances that are solid without any processing or are processed into powder tablets Drugs, such as bleaching powder, bleaching spirit, chloramines, chlorhexidine, trisodium chloride phosphate, etc.
2. Liquid disinfection Drugs refer to disinfectants that are either liquids or formulated into liquids. It is particularly convenient for disinfecting items that require surface spraying, cleaning, and soaking.
3. Gas disinfection drugs such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, etc.
Relatively speaking, disinfectants can effectively kill viruses and bacteria in the environment. However, they require high concentrations and long-term effectiveness to kill them. Parasite eggs, cysts and oocysts. Cleaning is the key to reducing the iatrogenic sensitivity of these pathogens. Cleaning agents or water vapor cleaning can kill most pathogens. Trash trays and dinner plates should be thoroughly cleaned with detergent and boiling water.
Pet owners’ misunderstandings about disinfection:
1. Many owners like to use 84 disinfectant sold in human pharmacies, which contains chlorine compounds. Owners often describe to doctors that this can effectively get rid of pet odors. However, they do not know that it is this odor that causes long-term and intense stimulation. The respiratory mucosa of owners and pets has caused great harm to both owners and pets, especially since cats are not sensitive in nature. Such stimulation can easily lead to continuous sneezing in cats, and in severe cases, chronic rhinitis.
2. When using disinfectants on the market that do not have batch numbers and look very affordable, owners often have concerns about chemicals or disinfectants. Without knowing the type and effect, I bought some disinfectant produced by unofficial manufacturers. Although it is cheap, it ignores the real effectiveness of the disinfectant. After all, there is no quality protection. Will it really kill bacteria and viruses? Never buy disinfectants that have not passed national testing, otherwise they will have side effects if they have unreal results!
3. If you like one brand, you will not judge another brand recommended by the doctor, or you may like the taste of one disinfectant and not accept other brands. The fact is that if you use simple disinfectants for a long time, Bacteria or viruses may become resistant, causing the last disinfectant to be ineffective against such viruses and bacteria. It is recommended that families with pets keep two kinds of disinfectants for alternate use.
4. Disinfection time and efficiency. Some owners lock their pets in the house before leaving every day, and then spray disinfectant before saying goodbye. Some owners only give their pets Disinfect the dog's cage, and some even spray disinfectant on the dog after he returns from playing. I suggest that all supplies used by pets, including food bowls and dens, be disinfected regularly every week. Disinfection can be used every day. Use water to mop the floor and clean the rag, and spray and disinfect the entire space at least twice a week. You can wipe the hands, feet and hair of pets when they go out, but do not spray disinfectant on their bodies.
To sum up, it is best for pet owners to go to a regular pet hospital to purchase disinfectant drugs that are less irritating and have regular batch numbers and manufacturers. At the same time, they should follow the doctor's recommendations for appropriate disinfection, so as to achieve the best disease prevention effect. Disinfection is not only Not only to protect pets, but more importantly, we humans are also affected by viruses.
