[BLOG] Shelter Sanitation : apply the “clean to dirty” principle
Managing infectious diseases in animal shelters presents a unique challenge due to the constant influx of new animals with unknown medical histories. The "clean to dirty" principle, borrowed from the food industry, offers a straightforward yet effective strategy to mitigate this risk. By organizing shelter operations to start with the most vulnerable or healthiest animals and move towards those most likely to spread disease, shelters can significantly reduce the risk of outbreaks. This approach not only prioritizes the health and well-being of the animals but also streamlines cleaning efforts, making it a critical practice for any shelter aiming to control infectious diseases effectively.
