Deep Clean Your Horse Without Getting Drenched Using Anivac Bathing Systems

The cooler months often means horses with thick coats, dirty rugs and shorter days to get everything done, but don't despair, Anivac's Bathing Systems can clean your animals, their clothing and facilities twice as well as other methods, in half the time!

Anivac's Bathing Systems are the easy, portable, mess-free way of cleaning without using volumes of water - up to 90% water savings! When bathing your horses (or dogs) the patented nozzles deep clean from the skin up, removing dirt and hair, leaving a clean glossy coat.

Having taken the world by storm over the last four years, due to the fact that they are an entirely new way of looking at the issue of dirt on animal and how best to get that dirt out, Anivac systems actually clean from the skin up instead of the top down. The bathing system can be used in winter with only common sense precautions, and the groom stays dry! Using an Anivac will enable you to get ALL the dirt out and will drastically cut your grooming chore.

Background

The original idea for the bathing system came from the inability of the inventor to get the family’s big smelly Newfoundland dog clean and odour free. The inventor found that after thoroughly bathing the dog it would smell and look better but after only a few days the masking effect of the shampoo would wear off and the terrible odour would return. He realized it was the thick dense coat of the dog that was preventing him from working shampoo down into the coat to the skin.

After much thought he came up with the idea of creating wash nozzles that were like a comb and would go down to the animals skin where the dirt was, and then spray. After this he realized that if he combined the comb-like washing system with a vacuum he would have an all inclusive bathing system that would not only clean better and use substantially less water, but would also eliminate the mess associated with traditional bathing. From the first unit made back in 1995 came the Anivac of today.

How it works

Traditional means of cleaning an animal is done by vigorously shampooing from the top to get at the dirt resting on the skin. In fact, most of the dirt is resting on the skin, so why are we trying to get at it by cleaning from the top down?

The patented design overcomes the natural resistance of animal hair to the penetration of moisture by utilising nozzles that probe into the coat and onto the skin, after which the pressurized cleansing fluid is sprayed. The spray action washes the skin of the animal first, pushing the dirt up and into the vacuum force of the wand, and then washes the animals coat as the solution is being vacuumed up by the wand.

The massaging action of the process not only flushes the dirt off of the horses skin, but also massages the hair follicles and stimulates the release of the fresh oils that protect the hair. Once these oils come out there will no longer be dirt blocking the path of the oils, so that they can travel the length of the hair and improve the finish and performance of the coat.

In addition to the highly effective cleaning benefits of the systems, the vacuuming action pulls the majority of the water from the coat, thus leaving the animal only damp to the touch. This substantially speeds up drying times and leaves the work area virtually dry.

Anivac will be in attendance at the Dubbo show, 18-20 May, so you can see the Bathing Systems in action. They will also be at Equitana and Murrumbateman Field Day. If you can't make it to these events, and would like a free demonstration, please call the office on 02 9450 2192 to make a booking.
