SPH Supplies
Superior Products for Health & Hygiene
Pet hygiene
and grooming specialists, mail order products
that make your pets easier to live with.
SPH
Supplies specialise in the delivery of top
quality disinfectants and hygiene products
direct into all establishments caring for
numbers of animals, whether trade or domestic
environments.
SPH Supplies is a family run business that
has been trading for around 12 years. We pride
ourselves on our customer care and rapid despatch
of orders. If we have a glitch, and can't
supply as quickly as we would expect to, we
endeavour to notify you, and keep you well
informed about the process of your order.
We are extremely happy to talk to customers
on the phone - in fact if it wasn't for customers
phoning up it would get quite quiet and boring
in the office here! We also pride ourselves
on our product knowledge - and if we don't
know the answer - we have friends who do!
There are times when we aren't able to answer
your phone calls. For example if we have deliveries
coming in then it is all hands on deck to
unload them - so please leave a message on
the answer phone, and we will phone you back
as soon as possible. Equally, there are times
when we are away at trade shows and so on,
and hence out of the office during the day
time - in which case don't be surprised if
we get back to you in the evening! We do always
return all calls left on the answer phone
- providing you have clearly left a name and
phone number. In short - we try to give you
the best level of service it is possible to
provide.
We try to be different from many other web
based businesses. We don't like hiding behind
a screen, and you can find both our address
and phone number quite clearly visible on
our website.
Our product range does expand with time! We
have our own menagerie of animals, and hence
only put on the site products which we are
happy to endorse, either from our own experience
with them, or from the experience of friends.
This does lead to what can appear to be a
strange spread of items - but when we find
something that appears to have worked well
with our animals, then if often finds itself
getting added to our listings.
We try to be as environmentally conscious
as possible. The office is run using 'green'
electricity, we use the second side of all
paper coming back into the office, buy recycled
paper, use refilled ink cartridges for all
our printing, and goods are packed in boxed
collected from the local supermarkets when
we do our weekly shops, and we try and reuse
jiffy bags and so on. Sorry - sometimes it
doesn't give quite the professional image
that we would wish to portray, and you might
be disappointed that it isn't actually a case
of Vino Tinto being delivered.
Enjoy browsing, and if you find that we don't
stock something that you think would be useful
to yourselves and others - then suggest it
to us and we will see what we can do...
Case studies and
veterinary experiences with Virkon
Using Virkon in
the veterinary practice
Norwegian veterinary surgeon Nils Reither
DVM, of the Rosendal Veterinary Practice.
He writes of his experiences with Virkon
S.
'I use Virkon S daily in my veterinary
practice, and it is the best invention
since penicillin'.
'The last year I have used Virkon S to
disinfect my practice and my equipment.
Examination room , tables and instruments
are sprayed with a tiny plant-shower after
every patient. To be sure no patients
are getting infected in my clinic!'
'On several occasions I have used Virkon
S when a contagious disease like mycoplasmosis,
chlamydiosis, virus infections or fungus
(aspergillus) have been diagnosed in herds
or flocks. IN ALL CASES THE SPREADING
OF THE DISEASE HAS BEEN STOPPED ABRUPTLY'.
'For the veterinarian, Virkon S is more
useful than antibiotics or vaccines'.
Virkon Germicidal
Skin Cleanser
A classic case with a successful result
by using Virkon Germicidal Skin Cleanser
is reported by veterinary surgeon Nicholas
Blackwell BVSc MRCVS.
'One of my regular clients was a five
year old West Highland White Terrier which
had been suffering from non-seasonal atopy,
an allergic condition, for several years',
he says. 'This was complicated by pyoderma,
a bacterial skin condition, which left
the animal uncomfortable with constant
itching. The condition progressively deteriorated
and management with steroids, antibiotics
and Fuciderm Gelâ was becoming increasingly
unsatisfactory. The infection spread so
far across the skin that it was impractical
to apply the gel. At this stage I came
across Pet Virkon and advised the owner
to spray it all over the dog several times
a week. The results were startling and
the owner is delighted. Because of the
underlying atopy the application of Pet
Virkon will continue for the foreseeable
future. However, the infection is under
control and the dog is free of the unpleasant
itching'
It`s a huge responsibility breeding livestock or domestic animals because the wellbeing of the animals in your care has to be addressed at all times. There have been many horror stories in the media about people in positions of trust mistreating the animals in their care. The majority of people that undertake animal husbandry, care greatly for the condition of the animals they keep. They always have plenty of Animal Husbandry Supplies close by that will help the animals to live healthy lives. Parasites can be problematic in all types of animals but parasite controls can be used to keep the pet free from all types of infections. Verm-X is a leading brand of parasite control and in the instance of dogs a daily biscuit can be given to the animal that contains a host of beneficial ingredients. Use Animal Husbandry Supplies like these and the dog will think that it`s a daily treat. Anyone that cares for animals or raises livestock can put the Animal Husbandry Supplies to good use. When you think about what a responsibility it is to look after various breeds of animals, it`s little wonder that breeders and farmers ensure their supplies are always plentiful.
Animals can pick up a wide range of bacteria and viruses but there are steps that you can take to protect your beloved pet from picking up nasty types of infections. If you use hygiene Disinfectants around the home you can keep areas clean and well protected at the same time. At the moment you might just use standard types of cleansing sprays but can they cater for the needs of your animals? They might claim to kill germs but how effective will they be against a host of bacteria or funghi? Trigger sprays can be purchased that contain hygiene Disinfectants and they not only provide your pet with premium protection, they provide you with protection from bacteria as well. Products like Conficlean are made with health and hygiene in mind and they are very simple to use. Not only do they clean comprehensively they are proven against viruses, bacteria and even the dreaded MRSA. Use this type of product and you`ll find that it is non-corrosive, thus will be extremely kind to your hands. Any proud pet owner will want to keep their pets safe from bugs and by using the hygiene Disinfectants in the home, all areas can be suitably protected.
Kennels or catteries can become holiday homes for dogs and cats whose owners are jetting off for a few weeks. A host of fine establishments are located around the county and they will pamper your pooch or mollycoddle your kitty when they stay in their care. As a caring owner you`ll want to make sure that such places will look after your pet during their stay. You can normally tell the best kennels or catteries by the appearance of the premises, the attitude of the staff and the Kennel cattery Supplies Products that they use. Any decent kennel or cattery will buy good quality products as they care for other people`s pets. Pet supplies can vary but the quality is important and establishments that want to provide the best for the animals in their care will source out premium types of Kennel cattery Supplies Products. Health and hygiene will be important in such environments and one of the products that the cattery and kennel buys will include a top quality disinfectant. All areas can be kept clean when the disinfectants are used and the animals will be protected from bacteria and other types of viruses or funghi. Pet owners can leave their treasured pets in confidence if they know that the kennels or catteries are selective when choosing their Kennel cattery Supplies Products.
