My focus is to help other pet care businesses get the cleaning results they are looking for, be within or exceed health department standards, be OSHA compliant, while saving both time and money.” Chris has been a speaker on sanitation, and pet care facility maintenance for the International Boarding & Pet Services Association national meeting, Pet Boarding and Daycare annual conferences, as well as speaking on hospital hygiene and sanitation at several veterinary schools and associations.
