BactiBlock® antimicrobial pet products

Pet ownership in Europe (and abroad) has shown continuous growth, driven by factors like urban living and increased appreciation for companionship, particularly during the pandemic. According to a recent survey, nearly 50% of households by now have a pet, ranging from dogs to reptiles. While pet choice varies, all indoor pets have the potential to spread germs.

Let’s face it, our pets eat random things off the ground, roll in questionable substances, use the restroom wherever they feel like it and can host fleas, parasites, ticks, infections and diseases. From their feet to their respiratory fluids, furry, feathered or scaled pets can bring a variety of viruses and bacteria into the home. The good news is that more hygienic pet toys and, generally speaking, pet-related surfaces, for your family are now possible thanks to BactiBlock^® antimicrobial technology. 

BactiBlock^® antimicrobial technology is an easy-to-add additive that prevents the growth and survival of microbes including bacteria, mould and fungi. Lower levels of bacteria mean improved hygiene, reductions in staining and odours and premature degradation of materials. BactiBlock^® will therefore make these products more hygienic, keep them fresher for longer and extend the usable lifetime. From rubber chew toys to a hamster’s wheel, introducing BactiBlock^® antimicrobial technology will definitively help you to keep your home healthier & safer.

While pets and people make excellent pairs, practicing pet hygiene measures and common sense is important to keep those relationships healthy and happy. By benefiting from BactiBlock^®technology, pet care products will be protected from the negative effects of microbes by up to 99.99%, making them more hygienic to use for both pets and their owners.
