Cleaning for Oakland veterinary clinics and animal hospitals that covers the lobby, exam rooms, surgery suite, wards and staff spaces, following your clinic’s own written protocol.
Printable checklist
A lobby that greets every pet owner
Pet owners judge a clinic in the first minute. Fur drifts into corners, wet paws track across the floor and the front glass collects nose prints at exactly the height of a curious dog. Our crews vacuum hair out of the corners, along baseboards and from under the benches, wipe the glass inside and out from the floor up, and wipe down the reception counter, the card reader area and the retail shelves of food and treats.
The floor scale is wiped and its platform cleaned, and the separate waiting areas for cats and dogs are both looked after. Leash hooks, the water bowl station and the treat jar on the counter are wiped too. Entry mats are lifted and vacuumed, and the tile under them is mopped before they go back down, so the next morning’s first client walks into a fresh room.
Exam rooms on your protocol
Every clinic has its own written procedure for its exam rooms, and that document is what the crew works from. Your procedure sets the order: stainless exam table, counters, sink, cabinet fronts, the owner’s chair and the floor last, or whatever sequence your team has written. When a room needs a full top-to-bottom terminal clean, book it and the crew carries it out.
Every disinfectant the crew applies carries EPA registration, and it sits undisturbed for the full contact period on its label before anyone wipes it away. Crew members have been trained in bloodborne-pathogen safety. Each is also trained in HIPAA-aware conduct, meaning the records on your desks and the screens at the front counter stay exactly as your team left them.
Surgery, treatment and imaging rooms
The surgery suite and treatment area get the most careful attention on the route. Floors are cleaned wall to wall, stainless surfaces, door push plates and light switches are wiped, and the rooms are finished in the order your team sets. The X-ray and imaging room, the dental station and the in-house lab counters are cleaned around the equipment, with your staff deciding what the crew may touch.
Scrub sinks and the counters around them are wiped down and polished dry, and the prep table and the cabinet fronts in the treatment area get the same care.
Wards, boarding and grooming
Ward floors, kennel fronts and the walls of runs are cleaned at the times your staff choose, working around the animals in their care. Boarding rooms and play areas get their floors scrubbed and their gates and latches wiped. In the grooming room, tubs, tables and dryer stations are cleaned and the clipped hair is cleared from the floor and the drain strainers.
Behind the scenes, the staff break room, the doctors’ office, the locker area and the restrooms used by clients and staff get scrubbed and restocked, with liners, towels and soap from your own stock or from our supplies.
Hours that fit an animal hospital
A clinic that closes in the evening is cleaned once the last patient heads home, leaving the exam rooms and lobby set for the morning schedule. Emergency and 24-hour hospitals are divided into zones and cleaned in turn, with the lobby and the quieter rooms done first and busy areas worked around your caseload. During the day, our day porter service can keep up with the lobby floor and the restrooms between appointments.
Floors that take a beating
Claws, rolling carts, disinfectant and daily mopping wear any floor down. Through commercial floor care, sealed concrete and epoxy-coated floors in wards and treatment areas are machine scrubbed, vinyl tile in hallways and exam rooms is stripped and refinished, and rubber matting is deep cleaned. Outside, pressure washing clears the entry walk and any dog relief area of grime and stains.
Animal care buildings in Oakland
Oakland veterinary practices range from single storefronts to freestanding hospitals with their own parking lots, and emergency and specialty practices often need larger buildings with room for wards and imaging. A clinic in a single storefront has one lobby where every dog and cat waits together, while a freestanding hospital with wards and a boarding wing needs a longer route that reaches each room. Either way, the plan starts on a walk through your clinic alongside your practice manager.

A few useful answers
Common questions.
Does the crew work from our clinic's written cleaning protocol?
Yes. Exam rooms, surgery and treatment areas are cleaned from your written procedure, in the order it sets, using the products it names.
When are the wards and kennel runs cleaned?
Whenever your staff schedule them, with the crew working around the animals being cared for. Boarding floors are scrubbed, and kennel gates and latches are wiped.
Is the grooming room included?
Yes. The crew cleans the tubs, grooming tables and dryer stations, then clears clipped hair from the floor and out of the drain strainers.
How do you clean a hospital that is open around the clock?
We divide the building into zones and work through them in turn, timing busy areas around your caseload so the crew stays out of the way of patient care.
What about the fur that collects in the waiting room?
Each visit, the crew vacuums fur from corners, baseboards, bench seats and mats, then mops the hard floor so the waiting room starts the day fresh.
