Hygienic furniture for boarding facilities and animal shelters

In a professional animal shelter or rescue center, the pressure to adhere to hygiene protocols is felt every day. With a constant turnover of dogs and cats, preventing cross-contamination is your top priority. Traditional outdoor scratching posts and bedding with cardboard cores, fabric covers, or standard sisal rope are a ticking time bomb in a shelter environment: they absorb urine, cannot be thoroughly cleaned, and develop mold.

When setting up a heavily used shelter environment, the key is to eliminate risks. The (outdoor) scratching posts and resting furniture—developed specifically for commercial shelters—meet medical standards, whether inside the quarantine area, outside on the play area, or in the catio.

Animal welfare meets extreme durability

Furniture in a shelter must not only be capable of being cleaned to a sterile standard; it must also be able to withstand the stress and behavior of traumatized or anxious animals. Our scratching posts and resting platforms are therefore sturdy and robust.

• Rot-resistant and synthetic cores: Instead of cardboard that disintegrates or wood that splinters, we use solid plastic posts and moisture-resistant materials.

• Mold-free scratching material: We do not use traditional sisal rope, which begins to rot and harbor bacteria after the first rain shower or urine stain. The scratching surface is made of a UV- and moisture-resistant synthetic fiber, making the scratching post 100% weatherproof and suitable for leaving outdoors in the pen without any issues.

• Traction and Security: Resting areas can be equipped with our 15 mm anti-slip PP foam floors or fixed resting platforms with a raised spill guard. This provides the animals with maximum stability and traction, which immediately creates a greater sense of security and reduces stress.
