Odour control and airborne illness are two of the most persistent challenges faced by pet boarding facilities. Even with robust air exchange systems and strict vaccination policies, environments with high animal traffic often struggle with viral outbreaks and unpleasant smells.

One long-established kennel facility faced exactly this issue. Despite six full air exchanges per hour and up-to-date health protocols, the facility experienced regular kennel cough outbreaks—affecting up to 30 dogs—along with pervasive odour issues that conventional air handling couldn’t resolve.

The Problem

Built in 1995, the facility had solid infrastructure, but the real-world results fell short. Kennel cough, a highly contagious upper respiratory condition in dogs, remained a seasonal challenge. Outbreaks occurred 1–2 times a year, lasted up to three weeks, and impacted large portions of the kennel population.

Meanwhile, odour—something any pet care facility must battle—continued to frustrate staff and clients alike. Despite high cleanliness standards, the strong smell typical of animal environments lingered, hinting at micro-contaminants that standard systems couldn’t eliminate.

The Solution

To solve these problems, four Powerzone units were installed throughout the facility. Powerzone is a compact, low-maintenance solution powered by Biozone Scientific’s advanced UV-C technology, designed specifically for challenging air quality environments.

This high-efficiency air purification system continuously targets airborne contaminants, viruses, and odour molecules, making it an ideal fit for kennels, boarding centres, and other pet care environments.

The Results

The transformation was immediate and long-lasting:

• Fewer Outbreaks: Kennel cough became significantly less frequent. In the worst case over nine years, only 6–7 dogs were affected, with most incidents limited to just 1–2.
• Shorter Illness Duration: Once lasting up to three weeks, illnesses now resolve in under a week—even when introduced by new arrivals.
• Outstanding Odour Control: Customers noticed the difference. One even remarked, “They’re the only kennel we’ve ever found that doesn’t smell like dogs. That’s what sold us!”
• Reliable Operation: The Powerzone units continued to perform efficiently, with excellent support from Biozone ensuring consistent long-term performance at low cost.

Customer Feedback

“My overall experience dealing with Biozone Scientific has been terrific. I highly recommend the company and their entire product line to anyone.” — According to the facility owner

Conclusion

Facilities like this one demonstrate the real-world impact of choosing the right air purification system. Powerzone didn’t just solve odour issues—it protected pets, reassured owners, and made the whole facility a more pleasant, professional space.

Whether you’re managing a dog kennel, grooming salon, or veterinary clinic, investing in air purification and odour control is not just a hygiene upgrade—it’s a business advantage.
