Hello, little Miu fans, everyone.
Recently, everyone's awareness of disinfection has increased, and I have received many private messages in the background: If I have a pet, how should I disinfect? What brand of disinfectant is better? Some brands of disinfectant can be used for cats and dogs?
Not all disinfectants are suitable for pets to disinfect, don't let disinfection turn into poisoning, today Xiao Miu will talk to everyone about which disinfectants are suitable for pet families.
Does alcohol work?
Yes, 75% alcohol can effectively eliminate viruses, but you need to pay attention when using it!
Ethyl alcohol, also known as alcohol, alcohol disinfection is what people ask about more, we usually use 70%75% of medical-grade ethanol for disinfection.
However, considering the strong irritant nature of alcohol and the potential danger it poses when exposed to fire, it is not recommended for surface disinfection of cats and pets, but for small objects, such as cat toys, it can be used.
Does 84 disinfectant work?
Yes, but you need to strictly abide by the usage rules.
Sodium hypochlorite, the main component of 84 disinfectant, 84 disinfectant has been used for 100 years, it can widely kill bacteria and fungi, and it is very cheap, so many families choose it for daily disinfection. However, pet families need to pay attention.
In the case records seen by pet hospitals, cats have been poisoned after licking excessive amounts of concentrated 84 disinfectant, and there have been cases of foaming at the mouth.
Cats are very fascinated by sodium hypochlorite, which easily leads to cats poisoning by licking it. It doesn't mean that all disinfectants containing sodium hypochlorite will cause cat poisoning, but a lot of information shows that improper dilution of 84 disinfectant is the main cause of cat poisoning.
The original liquid of 84 disinfectant is corrosive, so pet families should not use it. Pet families can use it for daily disinfection.
Does phenolic disinfectant work?
No, phenolic disinfectants are ineffective for this purpose and are toxic to most cats.
Representative phenolic disinfectants include, and, in many people's view, these products are gentler than 84 disinfectant, but in fact, the phenolic substances contained in these two disinfectants are more harmful to cats. The name of this toxic component is chlorodimethylphenol.
This component is very sensitive to cats, and has no effect on omnivorous and herbivorous animals. If cats lick disinfectants containing chlorodimethylphenol, it can be fatal in severe cases.
However, this disinfectant is not suitable for this situation, so pet families must not use it, and dog families can use it for daily disinfection.
Does ultraviolet light work?
Yes, but not everyone has this condition.
When using ultraviolet disinfection, you must pay attention to the intensity of ultraviolet rays. If the intensity of ultraviolet rays in the daytime is not enough, it will not be effective.
Ultraviolet lamps are effective, but they have blind spots, so you need to pay attention when using them.
When using a UV lamp, people and cats need to avoid it to avoid eye damage. Ozone produced by ultraviolet rays is harmful to people and cats, and after use, the windows should be opened for ventilation.
How to effectively disinfect cat supplies?
In fact, you don't have to be obsessed with disinfectants and disinfectants. Some common methods can be used to disinfect cat supplies, such as cat beds, cat mats, etc. Cat supplies can use 1:50 84 disinfectant for soaking and then washing.
Cat tableware and utensils, toys can choose to soak in 56 degrees or above water for 30 minutes, or spray the surface with 75% alcohol and wipe it clean.
In fact, pet families can also use other methods, such as steam disinfection. Using high-temperature steam can kill various bacteria and viruses. You can buy a steam mop, but you must isolate the cat when using it. Many cats like to follow the mop, and when using a steam mop, it is easy to burn the cat.
This is a method I highly recommend for this situation. In the meantime, we can buy pet-specific disinfectants, which are less harmful to pets and can more effectively resist fungal infections, bacteria and viruses in dogs and cats.
Little friends, when disinfecting, you must hide your beloved pets, don't make disinfection turn into poisoning, everyone can have a safe and peaceful time during this event.
