Animal care professionals are turning to hypochlorous acid (HOCl) for a safe and effective solution to kill dangerous pathogens. Kennels, breeders, and veterinary clinics face a constant threat from canine parvovirus (Parvo), distemper, kennel cough, and other contagious diseases. Outbreaks can spread rapidly, endangering animal health, damaging reputations, and increasing costs. That’s why more animal care professionals are turning to hypochlorous acid (HOCl). This safe, eco-friendly, and highly effective disinfectant kills Parvo in just one minute without harming animals or staff.
A Growing Challenge of Viruses in Animal Care
Every kennel, breeder, and veterinary clinic shares one critical responsibility: protecting dogs from highly contagious diseases. Canine parvovirus (CPV), also known as Parvo, is the most notorious threat, capable of surviving on surfaces for months and spreading through feces, saliva, or even human shoes and clothing. Outbreaks can devastate facilities, endanger lives, and destroy reputations.
But Parvo isn’t the only concern. Other dangerous pathogens include:
- Canine distemper virus – Affects the respiratory and nervous systems.
- Kennel cough (Bordetella & parainfluenza) – Spreads rapidly in boarding and daycare settings.
- Canine influenza – Highly contagious among dogs in group environments.
- Ringworm, staph, and E. coli – Bacterial and fungal infections that cause secondary complications.
For breeders managing vulnerable puppies, kennels housing dozens of dogs, and veterinarians treating sick and immunocompromised patients, infection prevention is not optional — it’s essential.
Why Traditional Disinfectants Fall Short
For decades, kennels and veterinary hospitals relied on bleach, quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), and chemical disinfectants to control pathogens. While effective under ideal conditions, these disinfectants have significant drawbacks:
- Harsh & toxic – Dangerous fumes irritate both staff and animals.
- Corrosive – Over time, bleach damages stainless steel cages, flooring, and equipment.
- Residue problems – Quats and bleach leave behind irritants that can harm puppies or contaminate bowls and bedding.
- Long contact times – Many require 5–10 minutes of wet contact to kill tough pathogens, such as Parvo.
- Inconsistent effectiveness – Dilution, improper storage, and degraded solutions often mean disinfectants don’t perform when needed most.
The result? Animal care professionals are often faced with the dilemma of choosing between effectiveness and safety.

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl): The Breakthrough Disinfectant
Enter hypochlorous acid (HOCl) — a powerful, science-backed alternative. HOCl is not a chemical concoction but a natural disinfectant the body itself produces in small amounts to fight infection.
Why HOCl is ideal for kennels, breeders, and veterinarians:
- Kills Parvo in 1 minute – Independent studies prove HOCl destroys canine parvovirus wholly and quickly.
- Broad-spectrum protection – Works against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and spores.
- Safe around animals – Non-toxic and gentle, even for puppies, pregnant dogs, and cats.
- Eco-friendly – Breaks down into simple salt and water.
- Non-corrosive – Won’t damage cages, flooring, or surgical tools.
HOCl combines the strength of bleach with the safety of water — an unmatched advantage in animal care.
Applications Across the Animal Care Spectrum
Kennels & Boarding Facilities
- Disinfect runs, crates, toys, and bowls on a daily basis.
- Mist play yards to reduce airborne pathogens.
- Reassure pet parents with a safe, science-backed cleaning solution.
Breeders
- Sanitize whelping boxes, bedding, and nursing areas safely and effectively.
- Protect newborn puppies without harsh chemicals.
- Respond quickly to potential outbreaks with HOCl misting.
Veterinary Clinics & Hospitals
- Disinfect exam tables and waiting areas between patients in under 1 minute.
- Maintain surgical suites’ sterility without risking toxic residue.
- Protect high-risk patients and reduce cross-contamination.
For all three groups, HOCl is more than just another cleaning product — it’s a vital tool for infection prevention and trust building.
The NinjaGen Advantage: A Fresh HOCl On Demand
While HOCl is incredibly effective, it doesn’t store well for long periods. That’s why the NinjaGen HOCl Generator is a game-changer.
With NinjaGen, kennels, breeders, and veterinarians can:
- Make HOCl on-site with just water, salt, and electricity.
- Save money – produce disinfectant for pennies per gallon.
- Guarantee potency – always fresh and fully effective.
- Simplify workflows – no shipping delays, chemical storage, or mixing mistakes.
- Support sustainability – eliminate plastic waste from bottled disinfectants.
Instead of relying on costly, harsh products, you can generate a steady supply of hospital-grade disinfectant whenever you need it.
Case Example: HOCl in Action
A breeder with multiple litters used to rotate bleach cleaning, carefully removing puppies to avoid chemical exposure and waiting hours to ventilate the area. Despite best practices, they still feared outbreaks.
After switching to a NinjaGen HOCl Generator, the breeder began cleaning whelping pens, food bowls, and even their own hands with HOCl. Within weeks, stress levels dropped, cleaning became faster, and — most importantly — there have been no Parvo incidents for over a year.
Kennel managers and veterinarians report similar results: safer facilities, healthier animals, and lower disinfectant costs.
Veterinarians Are Leading the Shift
Veterinary professionals are now recommending HOCl not just for clinics, but also for client use at home. From wiping down carriers to disinfecting yards, HOCl enables pet owners to extend clinic-level protection into their everyday lives.
By adopting HOCl, veterinarians demonstrate a commitment to gold-standard biosecurity while protecting staff, animals, and clients from unnecessary chemical exposure.
