Dog owners and caregivers across the country are concerned about the emergence of the canine mystery disease, manifesting symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, nasal or eye discharge, and lethargy.  What is especially challenging is that standard antibiotics and disinfection methods have failed.  David Needle, senior veterinary pathologist at the University of New Hampshire’s Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory said, “it is most likely spread through close contact and breathing in the same air of an infected animal, similar to how COVID-19 spread.”

Shared Air Is the Problem, Not Shared Surfaces

Most disinfection methods only address surfaces and do nothing to prevent airborne transmission of respiratory viruses.  Reducing the spread of airborne pathogens is paramount for the health and well-being of dogs.  HOCl atomizing is a revolutionary approach to controlling airborne viruses, including illnesses spread through animal contact at boarding kennels, dog daycares, groomers, and other canine care facilities.  Airborne viruses pose a significant threat in such settings, making effective disinfection crucial.  HOCl atomizing has been identified as the single most effective, powerful, and the safest method for controlling airborne viruses and enhancing the overall hygiene of canine care facilities.

What is Hypochlorous? 

Hypochlorous (HOCl) is a molecule composed of three natural elements, straight from the Periodic Table of Elements and HOCl is also inherent to the natural immune system of every mammal.  HOCl is produced naturally in the white blood cells and is then transported to the site of injury or infection to aid in the destruction of invading pathogens, making it a biocompatible and eco-friendly disinfectant that is completely safe for animals and humans.

What is HOCl Atomizing?

HOCl atomizing refers to the process of breaking down liquid hypochlorous into tiny airborne droplets, allowing it to effectively combat airborne pathogens and neutralize contaminants on surfaces at the same time.  Upon contact with airborne viruses, HOCl quickly and easily penetrates the protective envelope of a virus, rendering that virus inactive.  Think of disinfectants and germs like magnets. When you put two magnets with the same negative charge close together, they push away.  Bacteria and chlorine bleach both have this negative charge, so they also push away from each other. But hypochlorous (HOCl) doesn’t have a charge, so it doesn’t repel pathogens. Instead, it penetrates the wall of the pathogens and breaks them down with its strong oxidizing power.  This unique ability to penetrate the cell walls of pathogens is particularly effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including canine respiratory viruses.

The atomization process transforms hypochlorous into fine droplets, which linger in the air for an extended period. This ensures that as animals congregate and pathogens become airborne, the disinfectant is readily available to neutralize these threats, providing immediate airborne disinfection.  HOCl atomizing doesn’t stop at controlling airborne viruses, it also simultaneously disinfects surfaces too. This ensures that not only is the air disinfected, but also hard-to-reach surfaces, creating a comprehensive defense against disease transmission.

Broad Pathogen-Killing Range

One of the standout features of hypochlorous is its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against a wide range of pathogens.  According to the FDA, “HOCl has the highest bactericidal activity against a broad range of microorganisms.”  In addition to bacteria, it is proven effective against viruses, fungi (airborne mold), and other pathogens, making it a versatile solution for maintaining a clean and safe environment in any animal care facility.  An article in the NIH Library of Medicine stated, “HOCl may be the disinfectant of choice” for viruses.”  As a bonus, hypochlorous quickly and effectively tackles ammonia-based odors without posing any harm to pets, humans, or the environment.

Non-Toxic and 100% Hypoallergenic

Traditional disinfectants often introduce respiratory risks due to harsh chemicals or irritating fumes.  Because hypochlorous is a natural compound these concerns are eliminated.  It provides a respiratory-friendly solution for both animals and caretakers, contributing to a healthier environment.  The natural composition of hypochlorous reduces the likelihood of adverse reactions.  Hypochlorous exists in a neutral pH range, making it gentle on the skin and mucous membranes and it doesn’t cause irritation or allergic reactions commonly associated with harsh cleaners.

Maintaining Business Operations

Incorporating Genesis+HOCl into your animal care protocols is not just about responding to existing threats, but it’s also about implementing preventive health measures.  By proactively controlling airborne viruses, facilities can reduce the risk of disease outbreaks and maintain a healthier population of animals.  HOCl atomizing can help animal care facilities remain open and operational, assuring their customers of a safer environment for their beloved pets.  Beyond its efficacy, atomized hypochlorous is an eco-friendly solution.  It breaks down into harmless components, contributing to sustainable practices in animal care facilities.

Disinfect Air and Surfaces Simultaneously

In the complex landscape of animal care, controlling airborne viruses is crucial.  HOCl atomizing provides a powerful, safe, and versatile solution.  Its ability to effectively disinfect air and surfaces simultaneously, coupled with its hypoallergenic nature and eco-friendly profile, positions it as a game-changer for elevating the standards of hygiene in animal care facilities.  Genesis+HOCl stands at the forefront of innovative solutions to provide a healthier and safer environment for the veterinary and animal care community.

And, because it’s fast and nearly effortless to use, Genesis+HOCl also reduces the amount of time and labor required to thoroughly disinfect animal care settings.  The convenience of Genesis+HOCl decreases costs while simultaneously improving hygiene at your facility.  And, adding that extra layer of protection communicates to your clients that you are providing the healthiest environment possible for the animals and people entrusted to your care
