Before and After Bringing a Kitten Home
Before a kitten arrives, set up one clean room with litter box, bed, food, and carrier. Keep its starter food, prepare a semi-enclosed bed, and gather grooming basics.
How to Disinfect Your Home Properly
Disinfect once a week or two, not daily—over-cleaning weakens immunity. Use the right product for each area and never mix disinfectants.
Disinfecting Your Home During Cat Rhinotracheitis
In a multi-cat home, one case of rhinotracheitis can spread through shared bowls, bedding, and even owner shoes. The herpesvirus survives about 24 hours and calicivirus up to 28 days, so disinfect with bleach, a potassium-peroxymonosulfate product, or 75% ethanol — after cleaning the surface first.
How to Get Rid of Dog Smell at Home
Most dog odor at home is the natural skin oil (sebum) your dog sheds onto the sofa, bed, and your clothes — bathing can't stop it, so clean the sources: sun and wash the bed, vacuum often, and wipe floors with baking soda.

Cleaning and Protection Tips for Pet Households
Owners ask how to clean with pets. Pet smell is keen - some dogs' is a million times human. So unless needed, the principle is heavy cleaning, light disinfecting. A fully cleaned surface hardly breeds germs; irritating disinfectants like 84 stimulate pets' airways and can be fatal if licked. Over-disinfecting helps no one.
How to Bathe Your Pet at Home
Bath frequency: adult dogs weekly, autumn-winter 2-3 times a month. Puppies less due to low resistance. Cats not often - every 3-6 months per tolerance.
How to Control Cat Odor in Your Home
Cats themselves have little body odor; the smell comes from the litter box, vomit, and waste. Stay on top of litter-box cleaning, pick the right litter, clean urine with paper and baking soda, and add extra boxes for multi-cat homes to keep the air fresh.
