HOCL for Pet Care: Safe, Alcohol-Free Disinfection for Fur, Skin & Paws
Pet owners today are more health-conscious than ever. They read labels, question ingredients, and treat their pets’ hygiene with the same care as their own.
Yet most pet disinfectants and deodorizers still rely on alcohol, bleach, or synthetic fragrance—which can dry out skin, irritate paws, and even be toxic when licked.
Enter HOCL (Hypochlorous Acid): a safe, gentle, and scientifically proven antimicrobial now transforming pet hygiene and grooming. Originally used in medical wound care and human skincare, HOCL is fast becoming the preferred disinfectant for pets, offering hospital-grade protection with skin-level gentleness.
Why HOCL Is Ideal for Pet Care
Pets, especially cats and dogs, are constantly exposed to dirt, allergens, and bacteria. Their skin and fur have a different pH balance than humans, requiring non-toxic, low-irritant solutions.
HOCL’s benefits for pet hygiene include:
✅ Broad-spectrum antimicrobial — kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi
✅ Alcohol-free, bleach-free, and fragrance-free
✅ Non-toxic even if licked (within ppm safety limits)
✅ pH-balanced (5.5–6.5), compatible with pet skin
✅ Deodorizes naturally by neutralizing odor-causing bacteria
✅ Safe for daily use on fur, paws, toys, and bedding
In short, HOCL provides peace of mind for pet owners—effective enough for disinfection, yet gentle enough for daily contact.
