Animal Care & Hygiene

Animal Care & Hygiene covers everything that keeps treatment, housing and grooming clean. The Underpads & Protection subcategory contains absorbent cellulose pet pads with PE backing, a sterile SMS non-woven surgical drape and a disposable transport blanket. Under Care & Cleaning you will find moist care wipes, pre-soaked ear cleaning pads, disposable wash mitts and biodegradable corn-starch waste bags.

These products are bought not only by veterinary practices and clinics but also by animal shelters, boarding kennels, dog schools and grooming salons. What they share is single use: a pad or wipe is changed after each animal, which saves laundry cycles and keeps treatment areas and crates hygienically separate.

Typical applications

• Lining examination and operating tables with absorbent pads
• Sterile draping for veterinary surgical procedures
• Lining transport crates and vehicles for animal transport
• Cleaning coat, paws and ears between treatments
• Hygienic collection of droppings in runs, kennels and dog schools

What to look for when buying

With pads, surface area is the deciding factor: 60 × 60 cm for smaller surfaces, 90 × 60 cm with 1,500 ml absorption for operating tables and larger animals, and the 110 × 160 cm transport blanket for vehicles and large resting areas. The surgical drape is the only sterile item in this category.

The care products differ in format and purpose: large wipes for coat and paws, small round pads for ears, wash mitts for full-body cleaning. Also check the minimum order quantities, which are given per pack, tub, roll or piece depending on the item.
