Study Notes
Cleaning vs Disinfection
- Cleaning involves removing dirt, feces, and visible debris from surfaces.
- Cleaning also involves thorough scrubbing with a detergent to break down and remove oils and organic matter.
- The detergent should be rinsed off, and the surface allowed to dry before applying a disinfectant.
- Organic matter disrupts disinfection.
Disinfection
- Disinfection involves the use of a chemical disinfectant product.
- The disinfectant product should be selected based on its effectiveness against specific infectious agents of concern.

Cleaning and Disinfection
- Cleaning involves removing dirt, feces, and visible debris, followed by scrubbing with a detergent to break down and remove oils and organic matter.
- The detergent should be rinsed off, and the surface allowed to dry before applying a disinfectant.
- Organic matter disrupts disinfection, making it essential to remove it before disinfecting.
Disinfection
- Disinfection involves using a chemical disinfectant product selected for its effectiveness against specific infectious agents of concern.
- Facilities and grounds have a high risk of contamination with infectious agents, making good hygiene practices crucial to prevent disease spread.
Good Hygiene Practices
- Hand washing is essential to prevent disease spread.
- Prompt removal of sources of infection is crucial to prevent disease transmission.
- Prompt waste removal and proper storage are necessary to prevent disease spread.
- Thorough cleaning and disinfection are essential to prevent disease transmission.
Animal Housing and Surfaces
- Primary animal housing should be cleaned frequently to maintain a sanitary environment.
- Thorough cleaning and disinfection of primary animal housing are necessary between animals.
- Multi-use animal contact surfaces (e.g., grooming tables, scales, crates/runs) should be cleaned and disinfected between animals.
- Floors in common use areas should be cleaned and disinfected at least once a day.
- Flooring for the environment should be made from non-porous material that is easy to clean and disinfect.
Disease Prevention in Animals
- Up-to-date vaccinations are crucial for all animals to prevent diseases
- Essential vaccinations for dogs include:
- Canine Parvovirus
- Canine Distemper
- Canine Hepatitis
- Canine Cough
- Leptospirosis
- Essential vaccinations for cats include:
- Feline Enteritis (Feline Panleukopenia Virus)
- Feline Upper Respiratory Disease (Feline Calicivirus, Feline Rhinotracheitis Virus)
Health Checks and Nutrition
- Flea and worm treatment is provided at the facility during the animal's stay if necessary
- Daily health checks are conducted, including:
- Monitoring weight loss
- Observing off-food behavior
- Noting excessive vocalisations
- Monitoring excessive sleeping
- Records are kept for all health checks
- Good nutrition is essential for animal health
Stress Management and Infection Control
- Measures are taken to lower stress in animals
- Animal density is considered, as higher density increases the risk of disease transmission
- Potentially infectious animals are identified and isolated from others in the group
- Prompt veterinary attention is provided for any injuries or illnesses
Disease Prevention in Animals
- All animals should be up-to-date on vaccinations to prevent diseases.
Vaccinations for Dogs
- Canine Parvovirus

- Canine Cough
- Leptospirosis
Vaccinations for Cats
- Feline Enteritis (Feline Panleukopenia Virus)
- Feline Upper Respiratory Disease (Feline Calicivirus, Feline Rhinotracheitis Virus)
Additional Measures
- Flea and worm treatment should be given at the facility during stay if required.
- Daily viewing and health checks should be performed, with records kept for:
- Weight loss
- Off food
- Excessive vocalisations or sleeping
- Good nutrition is essential for animal health.
- Measures to lower stress should be taken.
- Animal density should be considered, as higher density increases the risk of disease.
Infectious Disease Control
- Early identification and isolation of potentially infectious animals from others in the group is crucial.
- Prompt veterinary attention should be sought for any injuries or illness.
- All facilities should recognize and understand the risk, prevention, and control of infectious diseases.
Disease-Causing Agents
- Pathogens include:
- Parasites
- Viruses
- Bacteria
- Fungi
- Protozoa
Spread of Infectious Agents
- Infectious agents can be brought to and spread throughout an animal facility in many ways, including:
- Through dogs, people, other domestic animals, and wildlife.
- Through food, water, waste, feces, and the environment.
- Through vehicles and equipment.
- Through insects, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, which can carry and transmit infectious agents through their bite.

Disease Prevention and Transmission
- Direct contact transmission occurs through physical contact, such as touching, licking, biting, and mating, including nose-to-nose or nose-to-bottom contact.
- Airborne transmission is a rare occurrence, where infectious agents are suspended in the air and can spread through mechanical actions, including wind, hair dryers, vacuums, fans, spraying water, and shaking out of bedding or towels.
- Oral transmission occurs when infectious agents are ingested through contaminated food, treats, or water, or through oral contact with contaminated environmental surfaces, such as the ground or toys.
Fomite Transmission
- Fomite transmission occurs through inanimate objects and surfaces, including toys, leashes, bowls, grooming equipment, cages, and bedding, that are contaminated with infectious agents.
Vector Transmission
- Vector transmission occurs through invertebrates, such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes, that act as "intermediaries" and transmit infectious agents from an infected animal to a susceptible animal.
