Running an animal care facility comes with unique challenges. From kennels and veterinary clinics to shelters and pet resorts, maintaining a safe, clean, and odor-free environment is critical—not just for animal health, but also for staff well-being and the overall experience of visitors and pet parents. Choosing the right cleaning supplier can make all the difference in achieving this standard of care.
At Alpha Tech Pet, we’ve been providing superior, environmentally friendly cleaning and maintenance solutions for over 30 years. Our veterinarian-founded company understands the needs of animal care professionals better than anyone else. To help you evaluate potential suppliers, here are five key questions to ask when choosing who to trust with your facility’s cleaning and disinfecting needs.
1. Do They Understand the Unique Needs of Animal Care Facilities?
Animal facilities aren’t like standard commercial buildings. They deal with organic messes—urine, feces, hair, body oils, and blood—that require specialized cleaning solutions. The right supplier should offer products designed specifically for these challenges, ensuring they are both effective and safe for animals.
At Alpha Tech Pet, our products such as KennelSol® disinfectant, OdorPet® Concentrate, and SkunkAway® were developed with decades of veterinary expertise and hands-on experience in animal care environments. Every solution is formulated to be tough on pathogens and odors while being safe for pets and staff.
2. Are Their Products Environmentally Responsible and Safe?
Sustainability and safety should be top priorities. Harsh chemicals may clean effectively but can harm animals, staff, and the environment. A trustworthy supplier will provide eco-friendly products that are biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for use in sensitive environments.
Alpha Tech Pet has long been a leader in environmentally sensitive cleaning solutions. From PX550® Instant Urine Odor Eliminator made of 100% bio-renewable ingredients to Alpha Bio-Drain™, which uses natural enzymes to keep drains clean and odor-free, our product line is built around performance without compromising safety.
3. Do They Offer a Full Range of Solutions?
A strong cleaning program requires more than just one or two products. You need a supplier that offers a comprehensive portfolio—everything from disinfectants and odor control to laundry detergents and application systems. This saves time, ensures consistency, and simplifies training for staff.
At Alpha Tech Pet, we supply a complete system of cleaning products and equipment, including:
- Disinfectants & Sanitizers: KennelSol®, SteriCide®
- Odor Control: OdorPet®, StayFresh APS
- Laundry Solutions: LaundraPet®, OxzPet®
- Cleaning Tools & Equipment: Microfiber mops, scrubbers, ATP meters, mixing stations, and more
By sourcing everything from one trusted partner, animal care facilities can streamline operations and maintain the highest cleaning standards.
4. Do They Provide Training, Documentation, and Support?
Products are only as good as the people using them. A reliable supplier doesn’t just drop off chemicals and equipment—they provide training, resources, and support to ensure staff can use products safely and effectively.
Alpha Tech Pet goes beyond supplying products. We offer training resources, product literature, safety data sheets, and instructional videos directly on our website. Our customer support team is also available to help you troubleshoot issues or select the best products for your unique facility needs.
This ongoing support ensures your cleaning program isn’t just effective on day one, but consistently reliable for years to come.
5. What Is Their Track Record in the Animal Care Industry?
Finally, reputation matters. Ask how long the supplier has been serving the animal care industry and whether they have proven results with facilities like yours. Experience, innovation, and a track record of satisfied clients are indicators that you can trust them with your operations.
Since 1989, Alpha Tech Pet has been a trusted partner to veterinary clinics, humane societies, kennels, zoos, pet resorts, and shelters nationwide. Founded by veterinarian Dr. Shawn Eliot Seitz, our company has built its reputation on innovation, safety, and exceptional customer service. For more than three decades, we’ve set the standard that others measure themselves by.
The Bottom Line
Choosing a cleaning supplier isn’t just about buying disinfectants—it’s about creating a healthier, safer environment for animals, staff, and visitors. By asking the right questions, you can ensure your facility partners with a company that understands your needs, provides safe and effective solutions, and stands behind their products with experience and support.
At Alpha Tech Pet, we’re proud to deliver superior, environmentally friendly solutions tailored to the animal care industry. From kennel disinfectants to odor eliminators and beyond, our goal is to help you maintain the highest standards of cleanliness while supporting your mission of animal health and welfare.
