If my dog has a skin infection of Staphylococcus aureus or intermedius, what should I use to clean the floor and bedding?
Opinion varies; the companies that sell cleaning products will generally say that they are essential to do the job, whilst those not involved in such products will generally say that special products are unnecessary. Skin infections can best be treated directly with antibiotics, and keeping the floor and bedding clean may not be the biggest part of preventing re-infection. Good overall cleanliness will probably do the job, but if you want to look at some specialised products there are plenty about. Little research has been done on most of these products, so in the end it’s a matter of personal preference.
