Trifectant and Roccal-D are popular disinfectants. Directions for use may vary by product, so the best option is to read the label. A 1:32 bleach and water solution can also be used. Allow for at least a 15 minute wet contact time before rinsing. Each kennel should be cleaned and sanitized after each use.
