As we know, cleanliness is imperative in order to keep ourselves,
and our furry companions, safe and healthy. Zoflora's pet expert,
Richard Allport, recently gave a lecture on hygiene and
disinfection at the London Pet Show. As an advocate of natural
therapies for animals, it was a surprise to some that vet Richard
was promoting disinfectants that contain chemicals. Whilst Richard
believes strongly in holistic medicines, he holds a stronger belief
that cleanliness and hygiene is vital to our health.
With resistance to antibiotics on the rise, Richard believes that
disinfection is the key to reducing infection rates which, in turn,
will safeguard the medicines that do work. Zoflora contains a
disinfectant called benzalkonium chloride, an active ingredient
that kills 99.9% of bacteria - the perfect solution for cleaning
your home.
Richard has recommended some useful pet-related tips for what and
when we should disinfect. Make sure your hands are washed
carefully, using an antibacterial soap - especially after handling
dogs and their food. Using a disinfectant such as Zoflora's 3-in-1
concentrated antibacterial liquid, clean all surfaces on which pets
come in contact with - especially food preparation areas and
feeding bowls. Floors should be cleaned once a week, not forgetting
pet toys - which have been found to carry an enormous amount of
bacteria. Dog mess should be disposed of via hygienic means - if
you use your own bin, try Zoflora's antibacterial Bin Fresh Gel to
keep it clean and smelling fresh!
As with all disinfectants, it's crucial that you let any object or
surface you have cleaned dry before you allow animals to come in
contact with them. Whilst hygiene may not be the most thrilling
part of owning a pet, it ensures that they stay healthy and happy.
As Richard points out, the gorgeous scent of Zoflora allows us to
live in "England's clean and pleasant land"!
