Effective Against a Wide Range of Organisms 

Parvo-Virucide has specific tested dilution rates depending on the organism being targeted.

Organism	Disease / Condition	Dilution
Canine Parvovirus	Parvovirus	1:200
Canine Adenovirus	Infectious Canine Hepatitis	1:500
Parainfluenza	Kennel Cough	1:150
Lyssavirus	Rabies	1:150
Morbillivirus	Distemper ("Hard Pad")	1:150
Klebsiella pneumoniae	Distemper-type syndrome	1:200
Bordetella bronchiseptica	Kennel Cough	1:250
Staphylococcal organisms	Dermatitis	1:1,500
Trichophyton mentagrophytes	Ringworm	1:50
Eimeria tenella	Coccidiosis	1:100

Always use the appropriate dilution for the organism being targeted and follow the instructions on your product label.

For Canine Parvovirus – Dilute 1:200

When specifically targeting Canine Parvovirus, use Parvo-Virucide at 1:200.

That's approximately:

2.5ml concentrate → 500ml working solution

5ml concentrate → 1 litre working solution

25ml concentrate → 5 litres working solution

50ml concentrate → 10 litres working solution

This makes Parvo-Virucide extremely economical where large areas require regular disinfection.

How Much Parvovirus-Strength Solution Does It Make?

At the 1:200 dilution tested against Canine Parvovirus:

Concentrate Size	Makes Up To
250ml	50 litres
1 Litre	200 litres
2.5 Litres	500 litres
5 Litres	1,000 litres
20 Litres	4,000 litres

Figures above apply to the 1:200 Canine Parvovirus dilution. Different organisms require different concentrations.

General Cleaning & Disinfection Directions

The current product label gives a general-use dilution of 1:100:

10ml Parvo-Virucide per 1 litre of water

Always use the specific tested dilution where you are targeting a particular organism.

How To Use

1. Prepare the Area

Remove animals from the area being treated.

Remove faeces, urine, loose debris and other gross contamination before disinfection.

For heavily soiled environments, cleaning first with a suitable detergent such as SupaClean can help remove dirt and organic matter before the disinfection stage.

2. Dilute

Prepare Parvo-Virucide with clean water at the appropriate concentration.

For general use, the current product label states:

1:100 – 10ml disinfectant per 1 litre of water

When targeting a particular pathogen, refer to the organism-specific dilution guide.

For example:

Canine Parvovirus – 1:200

3. Apply

Apply the diluted solution thoroughly to animal-contact areas using an appropriate:

• Sprayer
• Mop
• Bucket
• Other suitable application method

Pay particular attention to:

• Walls
• Floors
• Kennel surfaces
• Whelping boxes
• Cracks and joints
• Porous surfaces
• High-contact areas

4. Allow Excess Spray to Settle

Allow the product to remain on the treated surfaces according to the current label instructions.

5. Allow to Dry

Animals may be returned to their quarters after excess spray has settled and ideally once the treated area is dry.

Where Can I Use Parvo-Virucide?

Parvo-Virucide is ideal for animal-contact environments including:

🐕 Dog & Puppy Areas

• Kennels
• Dog runs
• Whelping boxes
• Puppy pens
• Crates
• Breeding areas
• Isolation areas

🐈 Cat Areas

• Catteries
• Cat pens
• Quarantine accommodation
• Washable cat areas

🏥 Professional Animal Environments

• Veterinary environments
• Boarding kennels
• Catteries
• Breeding establishments
• Grooming environments
• Animal quarantine areas
• Rescue environments

🧱 Difficult & Porous Surfaces

Parvo-Virucide is particularly useful for surfaces that can be difficult to disinfect thoroughly, including:

• Wood
• Timber kennels
• Cracked concrete
• Concrete floors
• Walls
• Other porous animal-contact surfaces

Why Cleaning Before Disinfecting Matters

Cleaning and disinfecting perform different jobs.

A cleaner such as SupaClean physically removes dirt, grease, faecal contamination and other organic material.

Parvo-Virucide is then used for the disinfection stage, targeting potentially harmful microorganisms.

For high-risk animal environments, a good routine is therefore:

1. Remove gross contamination → 2. Clean → 3. Disinfect → 4. Allow to dry

This is particularly important in kennels, whelping environments and other areas where multiple or vulnerable animals are present.
