As pet owners, we understand how important it is to provide a safe and healthy environment for our furry friends. One of the key aspects of maintaining a healthy environment in The Wagging Club facility is keeping the air clean and free of harmful pathogens. Our team wants to highlight the significance of healthy air in preventing the transmission of diseases and how our advanced systems help us achieve this goal.

Why healthy air matters for pets

Cats and dogs are susceptible to a multitude of airborne diseases. In a day care and boarding environment where multiple pets come in contact with each other, the risk of infections spreading is significantly higher. Poor air quality can lead to a range of health issues for pets, including respiratory infections, allergies, and more severe illnesses.

Ensuring the air your pet breathes is clean and pathogen-free is important for:

  • Respiratory health — Clean air helps maintain pets’ respiratory health. Contaminants such as dust, dander, and viral and bacterial pathogens can irritate the respiratory system, leading to infections and chronic conditions.
  • Allergy prevention — Pets can suffer from allergies triggered by poor air quality. Common allergens include mold spores, pollen, and dust mites. These allergens can cause intense itching, skin infections, and chronic issues if not properly managed.
  • Disease prevention — Airborne pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can spread rapidly in enclosed spaces. Healthy air significantly reduces the risk of infectious diseases, making the environment safer for all pets.

How the Aerapy Animal Health system works

At The Wagging Club, we use the Aerapy Animal Health system to ensure the air in our facility is as clean and healthy as possible. This advanced system is designed specifically for animal care environments and provides effective air purification and disinfection.

Features of the Aerapy Animal Health system include:

  • UV germicidal irradiation — This technology uses ultraviolet light to eliminate airborne pathogens. UV germicidal irradiation is highly effective against bacteria, viruses, and mold spores, helping reduce harmful microorganisms in the air.
  • HEPA filtration — High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters capture particles as small as 0.3 of a micron, including dust, dander, and other allergens. By removing these particles from the air, we can significantly reduce the risk of respiratory issues and allergies in pets.
  • Continuous airflow —The system provides continuous airflow throughout our facility, preventing the buildup of stagnant air where pathogens can thrive. This constant circulation helps maintain a fresh and clean environment for our furry guests.

The role of the CleanWise system in maintaining hygiene

In addition to the Aerapy Animal Health system, we also use the CleanWise system to maintain overall cleanliness and hygiene in our facility. This comprehensive approach ensures every corner of our day care and boarding areas is kept sanitary and safe for pets.

Key components of the CleanWise system include: 

  • Automated cleaning — The CleanWise system features a fully automated wet/dry cleaning process that simplifies and speeds up cleaning. 
  • Effective disinfection — The system uses high-quality disinfectants to clean and sanitize surfaces, reducing the risk of pathogen transmission.

Healthy environment benefits for your pet

By investing in advanced air purification and sanitation systems, we can provide numerous benefits to the pets in our care, such as:

  • Reduced illness rates — With cleaner air and a more hygienic environment, the incidence of respiratory infections and other diseases is significantly reduced. This means fewer sick days for your pet and more peace of mind for you.
  • Enhanced comfort — Pets with allergies or respiratory sensitivities experience fewer symptoms and greater comfort in our facility, making their stay more enjoyable and stress-free.
  • Peace of mind — Knowing that your pet is in a clean and healthy environment allows you to relax and enjoy your time away. You can count on our team to take every precaution to keep your furry friend safe and happy.

The importance of healthy air cannot be overstated when it comes to disease prevention and overall well-being. Our Aerapy Animal Health and CleanWise systems help keep the air your pet breathes clean, fresh, and free from harmful pathogens. By maintaining a hygienic environment, we can reduce the risk of illnesses and provide a safe, comfortable space for all our furry guests.
