"London, UK, 7 May 2009 – In a letter to the Editor of the Journal of Hospital Infection, published by Elsevier, S. Lefebvre and J.S. Weese from the University of Guelph in Canada describe a study that investigated whether MRSA and C.difficile could be passed between pet therapy dogs and patients. The findings suggested that MRSA and C. difficile may have been transferred to the fur and paws of these canine visitors through patients handling or kissing the dogs, or through exposure to a contaminated healthcare environment."
“Contamination of pet therapy dogs with MRSA and Clostridium difficile” by S.L Lefebvre and J.S. Weese, appears in the Journal of Hospital Infection, doi:10.1016/j.jhin.2009.02.019 published by Elsevier on behalf of the Hospital Infection Society.

These are just a few examples of the fact that you are at risk from our dogs passing bacteria to you and your family.
Germs are everywhere. Dog parks, vet offices, boarding kennels, groom shops and all areas where people and animals visit are breeding grounds for germs. Practically all surfaces which have not been specially sterilized are covered in bacteria. Bacteria are practically all invisible to the naked eye, with a few extremely rare exceptions. Microbes or microorganisms are the cause of many infectious diseases. Extensive studies have found that germs can not become resistant to sterilizing properties of essential oils.
The ingredients in Paw & Body Sanitizer were chosen for their powerful antiseptic, antimicrobial, anti-infectious, antiviral, anti-fungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, while boosting your puppy or dogs immune system, as well as being gentle to your puppy or dogs skin.
Paw & Body Sanitizer helps eliminate bacteria, fungus, virus and other microorganisms that may be picked up while your dog is in the outdoor environment.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
