Veterinary & Pet Care

Cleaner veterinary and pet-care facilities without dragging cleanup through the building.

TVD designs central wet/dry vacuum access, hose reels, separator/strainer collection, filtration, and sprayer-ready cleanup workflows for clinics, grooming areas, kennels, treatment spaces, and pet-care operations.

Pet-care cleanup spreads quickly when the system is not built for it.

Pet accidents, hair, dander, litter, tracked debris, wash-down water, treatment-room mess, grooming waste, and wet spills need cleanup access that is close, serviceable, and easy for staff to use.

Hair Load

Capture fur before it travels.

Vacuum inlets and separator collection near grooming and kennel zones help keep hair, litter, and debris out of public areas.

Dander and Debris

Support filtration objectives.

Remote collection and filtration can support fine dander control while keeping maintenance away from client-facing spaces.

Staff Time

Make daily cleanup faster.

Correct inlet placement, sprayer support, and floor tools help teams clean between appointments, boarding turnover, and end-of-day routines.

Built around clinic flow, grooming mess, and staff access.

TVD plans vacuum access around room use, hose reach, flooring, wet/dry recovery, separator service, drain location, and collection access.

01

Treatment and kennel zones

Central access helps staff clean repeat-use areas without moving equipment, buckets, or shop vacs room to room.

02

Overhead or wall routing

Piping can be planned around existing ceilings, chases, closets, and service spaces.

03

Wet and dry support

Separators, strainer baskets, sprayer accessories, and floor tools can support liquids, debris, fur, and general housekeeping.

Illustrated central vacuum equipment room service access.
04

Equipment and service access

Collection, separator, drain, and power-unit locations stay out of clinic traffic while remaining serviceable.

Choose the cleanup system by facility type and staff workflow.

Veterinary and pet-care facilities need central vacuum access, hose management, wet separation, filtration, drain handling, accessories, and retrofit service planned together.

TVD Approach

Practical design for facilities that clean all day.

The best system is the one staff will use. TVD designs around hose reach, room turnover, wash-down workflow, client flow, noise, collection access, and maintenance.

1

Map the mess by room type

Grooming, kennel, exam, treatment, laundry, and reception areas create different solids, liquids, odor, and disinfection-prep needs.

2

Place inlets where staff works

Hose reach, floor tools, and storage matter. If access is inconvenient, cleanup falls back to mops, buckets, and carts.

3

Keep collection serviceable

Filters, strainers, drains, flushing routines, and separators should be easy to reach without disrupting client-facing areas.

Schedule Free Site Assessment

Designed around facility cleanliness and staff safety objectives.

TVD designs systems to support cleaner workflows. OSHA, AAHA-style cleaning expectations, plumbing/backflow requirements, and your facility policies define the final procedures.

OSHA 1910.22 Cleaner walking-working surfaces after wet cleanup
AAHA Cleaning Goals Debris and biological waste removal before disinfection
Wet/Dry Where Specified Separator, strainer basket, drain, and accessory planning
Plumbing and Backflow Chemical injection and water-supply protection reviewed during design
Odor and Infection Control Waste recovery, source capture, and dry floors support facility hygiene
Training and PPE Strainer emptying, flushing, filter, and accessory routines staff can follow
Common Questions

What veterinary and pet-care teams usually ask first.

These answers focus on staff workflow, fur, wet cleanup, separator maintenance, and retrofit practicality.

Can a central vacuum handle pet hair?

Yes, when the inlet layout, hose diameter, filtration, and separator/strainer collection are selected for fur, litter, and debris load.

Can the system handle wet messes?

Some systems can support wet recovery with the right separator, drain handling, sprayer support, and squeegee or floor-wand accessories. TVD confirms wet/dry needs during design.

Does this replace mopping or disinfection?

No. Vacuuming supports solids and liquid removal before your facility's cleaning and disinfection procedures, including any required disinfectant contact time.

Will equipment noise disturb clients or animals?

Equipment can often be located remotely, with routing and collection planned away from sensitive spaces.

How is odor and residue controlled?

Wet/dry systems can be designed with drain discharge, removable strainers, flushing routines, and compatible cleaning accessories so waste does not sit in clinic work areas.
