What to use for cat flu disinfection

Due to the strong environmental survival ability and resistance to disinfectants of the cat flu virus, cat flu disinfection requires the use of more potent disinfectants to achieve the desired disinfection effect. It is recommended to use disinfectants containing quaternary ammonium salts for disinfection. Also, items contaminated with cat flu virus excrement should be subjected to high-temperature treatment before use to avoid spreading the virus to other cats.

Why do cats get cat flu?

The main sources of cat flu infection are feces, urine, saliva, and vomit of acutely infected cats. Therefore, the main transmission routes are direct contact with acutely infected cats, contact with cats that have recovered from cat flu but still carry the virus or are still excreting the virus, and infection through contaminated environments. The most common cause is environmental infection, such as cats staying in places where infected or排毒ing cats have been, and contacting the virus.

How long does cat flu disinfection take?

Cat flu usually requires half a year of disinfection to be completely eliminated. Generally, items or areas that cats have directly contacted need to be disinfected. You can dilute the disinfectant and spray it on suspected cat flu areas using a sprayer, or wipe them with disinfectant. Meanwhile, environmental ventilation should be strengthened.

What should be used to wash cat flu-infected clothes and blankets?

It is recommended to purchase virus disinfectant at a pet hospital, mix it with laundry detergent in the washing machine, or throw away all the clothes worn by the cat before, including the mats they slept on, drinking bowls, and toys. Ordinary disinfectants are ineffective against cat flu viruses. Cat flu viruses can survive in the environment for up to six months, and during this period, they may spread to newly arrived kittens.
