Having a family pet does require a certain amount of time and effort to keep the environment hygienic. Here are some suggestions for a cleaning regimen:
1. Regular cleaning: In order to ensure the sanitation of pets and the family environment, regular cleaning of pet cages, food basins and water basins and other supplies. Cleaning frequency depends on your pet’s activity level and eating habits. For some more active pets, such as dogs, cleaning once a day may be more appropriate. For other pets, such as cats, a weekly cleanup may be sufficient.
2. Bathe regularly: Bathe your pet regularly, depending on the pet’s breed, activity level, and skin type. Long-haired pets may need to be bathed weekly, and short-haired pets may be bathed monthly or quarterly. When bathing your pet, please pay attention to using pet-specific shampoo and conditioner.
3. Replace the mattress: The pet’s mattress needs to be replaced regularly to keep it hygienic. Mattresses should be turned over at least once a week to prolong their life. If the mattress is already dirty, replace it in time.
4. Cleaning of pet toys: Regularly clean pet toys to prevent the growth of bacteria and parasites. Toys can be soaked in a diluted disinfectant solution and then rinsed off with clean water.
5. Groom your pet regularly: Groom your pet regularly, especially during the shedding season. Grooming can reduce the amount of pet hair flying around indoors, and it can reduce the risk of pets developing skin diseases.
6. Clean the indoor environment: Clean up the indoor environment every day, such as pet excrement, food residue, etc. Change household items such as sheets and sofa covers regularly. Set up trash cans within the range of pet activities and clean them regularly.
7. Regular disinfection: After pets go out and return home, regularly use disinfectant spray to disinfect pet supplies and home environment. Choose a disinfectant that is not harmful to pets.
8. Take pets to the veterinarian on a regular basis: According to the veterinarian’s advice, take the pet to the veterinarian on a regular basis for preventive vaccinations, physical examinations, and deworming.
