Parvovirus, ringworm, feline calicivirus, kennel cough, leptospirosis. The disease environment in a veterinary practice is not what generic janitorial training prepares a crew for. Every shift has to assume exposure and clean accordingly.
Surgical suites between procedures, isolation wards housing contagious patients, and recovery areas all require documented decontamination protocols, not surface wiping. The standard is closer to a human medical practice than to retail or office cleaning.
Patient volume and pathogen risk make kennel and boarding sanitation a daily or twice-daily service, not a weekly one. Enclosures, food and water stations, drainage, and airflow areas all accumulate pathogens fast and require documented protocols on every cycle.
Disinfectants and cleaning agents used in a veterinary environment have to be effective against animal pathogens and safe around patients. Product selection, dwell times, and rinse protocols all matter. A wrong product in a kennel can sicken patients faster than the pathogen it was supposed to kill.
Every team member assigned to a veterinary account is trained on the specific protocols for the pathogens typical to veterinary practice: parvovirus, ringworm, feline calicivirus, kennel cough, leptospirosis, and bloodborne exposure. Documentation of training is maintained on file and available to the practice manager on request.
Surgical suites between procedures, isolation wards, and recovery areas all have documented SOPs covering decontamination sequence, EPA-registered disinfectants at validated dwell times, instrument-tray surface cleaning, and verification logs. Terminal cleans on surgical-day schedules are coordinated with the veterinarian.
Kennel and boarding area sanitation is scheduled on the cadence required by patient volume, with documented protocols covering enclosure decontamination, food and water station sanitation, waste removal, and airflow and drainage areas. The same dedicated crew runs every cycle.
Cleaning protocols built to align with American Animal Hospital Association infection control standards. SOPs cover exam rooms, surgical suites, kennels, isolation, and recovery areas, with zone segregation of cleaning equipment to prevent cross-contamination.
Surface disinfection uses EPA-registered products with documented kill claims against parvovirus, ringworm, feline calicivirus, kennel cough, and other pathogens typical to veterinary practice. Product logs and SDS sheets available on request.
All veterinary account staff complete training on pathogen-specific cleaning protocols, including PPE requirements, surface decontamination sequence, and waste handling. Training records maintained on file.
$2MM general liability coverage and full workers' compensation for all staff. Certificates of insurance provided within 48 hours of request, with the practice named as additional insured where required.
All employees pass background checks before assignment to veterinary accounts. Documentation of clearance maintained on file and available to the practice manager or veterinarian on request.
Every cleaning shift is documented with timestamped photographs of completed work areas and a written service log including product application records. Reports are provided to the practice manager within 24 hours of service.
Vet clinics carry pathogens that standard janitorial isn't trained for. We clean to medical infection-control standards, with staff trained on parvo, ringworm, and bloodborne protocols specific to animal practice.
Staff arrive at the scheduled access window, check in with the practice manager or veterinarian on duty, and change into approved PPE on-site. The crew lead confirms any flagged cases (isolation patients, recent surgeries, infectious workups) before beginning.
Surgical suites between procedures, isolation wards, and recovery areas receive documented decontamination per pathogen-specific SOPs. EPA-registered disinfectants applied at validated dwell times. Terminal cleans coordinated with the veterinarian.
Exam rooms, kennel and boarding areas, food and water stations, lobbies, and public-facing restrooms cleaned to standard veterinary SOPs. Animal-safe products applied per dwell-time requirements. Surfaces with daily patient contact get particular attention.
Photographs of completed work, time-stamped service log, product application records, and any flagged issues (contamination observed, supply shortages, equipment concerns) submitted to the practice manager within 24 hours. Standing communication channel for surgical-day prep or outbreak response.
A veterinary clinic is a medical facility, with all the infection-control weight that designation implies, and a higher-volume, harder-to-contain disease environment than most human medical practices. The cleaning vendor either supports the standard your veterinarians hold or quietly compromises it. There's no middle.
We built ANVIL to serve facilities where the work has to be documented, the staff has to be trained on the pathogens actually present, and the standard has to hold up under daily or twice-daily cycles. Veterinary practice is one of the most operationally demanding tests of whether a vendor understands the difference between cleaning a building and supporting medical care.
