TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE
- Do you know that there are decon situations where giving a full bath can actually put your dog at greater risk?
- Are you aware that there are other scientifically-proven decon protocols besides a full bath? And that these protocols can be done easily out in the field?
- Do you know research shows dish soap is not the most effective or safe cleanser to use for K9 decon (contrary to what the commercials try and tell you)?
- Are you aware of the risks of repetitive decon if not done properly?
DECON IS NOT JUST FOR DISASTER DOGS.
No matter what type of environment they work in, every search dog is at risk for coming in contact with a dangerous hazard.
Certain hazards leave visible signs on your dog's coat and paws, while others are invisible to the naked eye making them harder to detect.
Some hazards can cause acute onset of illness or death, while chronic exposure to other types of hazards can lead to long term health issues.
Health risks from these hazards extend to you and your family.
So while not all exposures warrants a full decon corridor, all hazards can have a serious and possibly fatal impact if not properly addressed.
THERE IS MORE TO PROTECTING YOUR DOG THAN JUST GETTING THEM CLEAN...
Guarding your K9 partner from the dangers they encounter on a search requires your constant vigilance and attention to detail.Dangers of Self-Grooming
You've seen your dog do it a 100 times. While resting in their crate, they groom themself.
Licking their paws, legs, and belly.
You are prepared to perform decon at the end of your search, but that's not all you need to worry about.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PROTECT YOUR DOG WHILE THEY ARE RESTING IN THEIR CRATE OR DURING TRANSPORT?
Risks of Repetitive Decon
Repetitive decon can damage your dog's #1 barrier of defense - their skin.
Research has shown that certain cleansers break down the protective features of your dog's coat and skin.
This can leave your dog susceptible to hazards entering you dog's system through lesions in the skin.
