Although keeping pets increases our fun, what follows is the hygiene and health problems faced by keeping pets. There are a large number of bacteria, viruses and parasites in the hair and skin dirt of animals. If pets and people live in a bad hygienic environment for a long time, their health will be threatened. Therefore, doing a good job of disinfection is not only for the health of pets, but also for our families and ourselves. How to buy suitable disinfectants for pets. The main ingredients are potassium persulfate, polyhexamethyleneguanide, glutaraldehyde and some so-called biological enzymes that deliberately hide ingredients. Although these chemical components disinfectants have good sterilization and disinfection effects, they will cause varying degrees of irritation and harm to animals. They will have residual effects after use. Pets may burn the esophagus, vomiting and diarrhea after accidentally eating.

As an emerging broad-spectrum high-efficiency sterilization product, its safety and effectiveness have been widely recognized by the international community. The US FDA and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare have long approved hypochlorous acid water as a sterilization ingredient for legal food additives. The national standard "Sanitary Requirements for Chlorine-containing Disinfectants" (GB/T 36758-2018) clearly stipulates that hypochlorous acid can not only be used to disinfect the surface of general objects, medical devices, food and beverage utensils, fabrics, fruits and vegetables, and water, but also to disinfect the air, hands, skin and mucous membranes.

The experiment on the evaluation of the effect of hypochlorous acid killing on common pet viruses is briefly described below:

① Evaluation of the effect of hypochlorous acid disinfectant on virus killing. Take 50 μl hypochlorous acid disinfectant and 50 μl virus stock solution equal volume. The control well is 50 μl DMEM and 50 μl virus stock solution equal volume. Mix thoroughly, let stand at room temperature for 30 min, add it to the cell well, culture it in 37 ℃, 5% CO2 incubator, observe and record the results daily for 5 days.

 ② Determine the effective action time of hypochlorous acid disinfectant. Mix the hypochlorous acid disinfectant with the original virus solution in equal volume, vortex for 30 s, then let stand at room temperature, set the action time of disinfectant and viruses 0 min, 1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min and 1 h respectively, and determine the virus titer before and after disinfection.  

③ Evaluation of the effect of hypochlorous acid disinfectant on virus killing with different concentrations. The hypochlorous acid disinfectant was diluted with PBS in 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10. Take 50 μl of hypochlorous acid disinfectant stock solution, 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10 dilutions were mixed with the original virus solution in equal volume, vortex for 30 s, then let stand at room temperature for 30 min, and determine the virus titer after disinfection.   Experimental results: Take 50 μl hypochlorous acid disinfectant and 50 μl virus stock solution equal volume, mix with 50 μl DMEM and 50 μl virus stock solution equal volume, mix thoroughly, let stand at room temperature for 30 min, add it to the cell well, culture in 37 ℃, 5% CO2 incubator, observe and record the results. The results showed that compared with the control, hypochlorous acid disinfectant can effectively inhibit the cell lesions produced by canine distemper virus (CDV-11), canine parvovirus BJ-81, cat calicivirus BJ-102, and cat pesticide BJ-08 in cultured cells. Five days after toxicity, canine distemper virus (CDV-11) produced a typical syncytial lesion on BHK-SLAM cells. The cells that were added with 50 μl hypochlorous acid water disinfectant for 30 min did not have syncytial lesions, which was not significantly different from the control cells, indicating that hypochlorous acid disinfectant has a significant killing effect on canine distemper virus (CDV-11), and the effect of 30 min at room temperature can completely lose its infectivity (Figure 1).

Three days after toxicity, the canine parvovirus BJ-81 strain produced typical cell rounding, brushing, and shedding lesions on CRFK cells. The cells that were added with 50 μl hypochlorous acid water disinfectant for 30 min did not appear this lesion, which was not significantly different from the control cells, indicating that hypochlorous acid disinfectant had a significant killing effect on the canine parvovirus BJ-81 strain, and the room temperature effect of 30 min can completely lose its infectivity (Figure 2).

Three days after the poisoning, the strain of feline plague virus BJ-08 produced typical cell rounding and shedding lesions on CRFK cells. The cells that were added with 50 μl hypochlorous acid water disinfectant for 30 min did not appear this lesion, which was not significantly different from the control cells, indicating that hypochlorous acid disinfectant had a significant killing effect on the strain BJ-08, and the effect of 30 min at room temperature could completely lose its infectivity (Figure 3).

Two days after toxicity, the cat calicivirus BJ-102 strain produced typical cell rounding and shedding lesions on F81 cells. The cells that were added with 50 μl hypochlorous acid water disinfectant for 30 min did not appear this lesion, which was not significantly different from the control cells, indicating that hypochlorous acid disinfectant had a significant killing effect on the cat calicivirus BJ-102 strain, and the effect of 30 min at room temperature could completely lose its infectivity (Figure 4).

Results of the effective action time of hypochlorous acid disinfectant: Mix the hypochlorous acid disinfectant with the original virus solution in equal volume, vortex for 30 s, then let stand at room temperature, set the action time of the disinfectant and viruses by 0 min, 1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min and 1 h respectively, and determine the virus titer before and after disinfection. Experimental results show that the hypochlorous acid water disinfectant can effectively kill canine distemper virus (CDV-11), canine parvovirus BJ-81 strain, feline calicivirus BJ-102 strain, and feline distemper virus BJ-08 strain for 5 min. The canine distemper virus (CDV-11), cat calicivirus BJ-102 strain, and feline distemper virus BJ-08 strain for 5 min. The canine parvovirus BJ-81 strain completely loses infectivity on cells; the canine parvovirus BJ-81 strain for 15 min (Table 1).

Determine the killing effect of hypochlorous acid disinfectant at different concentrations: Dilute the hypochlorous acid disinfectant with PBS in 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10, and take 50 μl of hypochlorous acid disinfectant stock solution, 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10 dilutions with the original virus solution in equal volume, vortex for 30 s, then let stand at room temperature for 30 min, and measure the virus titer after disinfection. Experimental results show that after diluting 1:2 and 1:5, the disinfectant can effectively kill canine distemper virus (CDV-11), canine parvovirus BJ-81, cat calicivirus BJ-102, and cat calicivirus BJ-08, causing it to lose its infectivity. It is diluted 10 times. It can effectively kill canine distemper virus (CDV-11), cat calicivirus BJ-102, and cat calicivirus BJ-102, causing it to lose its infectivity, but the infectivity is greatly reduced (Table 2).

The hypochlorous acid disinfectant diluent (1:5 diluent) studied in this study can effectively kill canine distemper virus (CDV-11), canine parvovirus BJ-81, cat calicivirus BJ-102, and cat distemper virus BJ-08, making it lose its infectivity. Even the 1:10 diluent also has a significant killing effect on these four viruses, indicating that hypochlorous acid disinfectant can be used in disinfection of dog and cat pens and living environments, etc., and is suitable for disinfection of pet families and pet stores.
