Veterinary Clinics & Animal Facilities Air Filtration

Odor and Allergens Come From the Animals Themselves

A vet clinic's air problems are different from most other buildings, because the source of the mess is a patient, not a process.

Pet urine and waste give off ammonia, and it builds up fast in kennels, boarding areas, and litter rooms. Fur and skin flakes from cats and dogs carry allergens that spread through exam rooms and waiting areas. Surgical and anesthesia gases used during procedures can linger in the air if a room isn't well ventilated. And disinfectants used throughout the day, needed to keep the clinic sanitary, add their own fumes on top of everything else.

Are Unpleasant Odors Taking Over Your Clinic? 

• Ammonia smell is noticeable in kennels or boarding areas

• Staff or clients mention allergy symptoms after time in the clinic

• Odor carries from the back of the clinic into the waiting room

• You're expanding boarding, grooming, or kennel space

• Air in surgical or anesthesia rooms has never been tested

• Cleaning and disinfecting schedules aren't keeping the smell down

Filters Built for Both Odor and Allergens

Electrocorp pairs activated carbon with HEPA level filtration to handle both halves of a vet clinic's air problem. The carbon stage pulls ammonia and other odor-causing gases out of the air, while the HEPA stage catches pet dander and other fine allergens before they spread through the building. Units can be placed in kennels, exam rooms, or reception, wherever the smell or allergens are strongest.
