Kennel Cough Travels Through the Air. Daily Cleaning Stops at the Surfaces.
Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC) — kennel cough — spreads through both aerosolized droplets from coughing dogs and contaminated surfaces. HOCl dry misting treats the whole kennel at once, air and surfaces together, as a layer that runs after your daily cleaning. It's gentle enough to run around dogs, and it handles the odor while it works.
GEIA Dry Misting in Dog Kennels & Boarding
Watch runs and daycare floors treated for airborne respiratory pressure — while the animals stay put.
You Can't Wipe the Air. And the Air Is How Kennel Cough Moves.
Kennel cough is a multifactorial syndrome — Bordetella bronchiseptica alongside viral agents like canine parainfluenza — and it thrives in exactly the conditions a busy boarding facility creates: high density, continuous occupancy, and high turnover. A single coughing dog seeds the air the whole room breathes, and contaminated surfaces carry it from one guest to the next. Your daily cleaning works on the surfaces a hose and a cloth can reach. It does nothing for the air.
And there's no time to fix it by hand. Could anyone really spray every surface, by hand, every hour? Continuous occupancy and fast turnover make extensive downtime for cleaning impossible. Operators don't need another scrub step — they need environmental coverage that runs on its own, reaches the air, and keeps working between turns.
- Treatment for the air, not just wiped surfaces — kennel cough is airborne
- Whole-room coverage that reaches runs, crevices, and porous materials at once
- A system that runs between turns without extensive downtime or added labor
- Chemistry safe enough to run while dogs are in the building
One Cycle Treats the Air and the Surfaces Together.
GEIA equipment disperses hypochlorous as a 1–3 micron dry mist. At that droplet size the mist stays suspended in the air and distributes uniformly through the enclosed kennel, then settles into runs, crevices, and porous materials that manual application leaves uneven. Hypochlorous is the same molecule produced by the immune system to fight infection — non-toxic, pH neutral, and residue-free. Because the mist is ultra-fine, it can run in occupied environments under controlled conditions, treating both airborne and surface-associated microorganisms in a single pass.
Treats the Air Itself
Suspended 1–3 micron mist helps reduce the airborne load behind respiratory spread — the part of kennel cough transmission that surface cleaning can't touch.
Built for Turnover
Whole-room coverage runs between turns without extensive downtime — uniform every cycle, even when the facility is full and the schedule is tight.
Odor, Under Control
The same mist helps address odor-causing compounds throughout the kennel, so the lobby and the runs smell clean to the owners dropping off their dogs.
Set It in the Run. Carry It Through the Building. Roll It Across the Facility.
What Changes When You Treat the Air, Not Just the Floor
"We clean every run the same as always, and now a ROGE runs intermittent fog cycles overnight in the boarding wing. It treats the air, which the mop never could — and the cough cases we used to dread coming through have eased off. Owners notice the lobby doesn't smell like a kennel anymore."

How GEIA Fits Into Your Daily Kennel Routine
Clean as You Always Do
Run your daily cleaning and disinfecting of runs and surfaces first, unchanged. Vaccination and daily cleaning stay your front line — dry misting is the layer that follows.
Run GEIA
Let a set-in-place ROGE run intermittent fog cycles in a fixed kennel room, carry the portable AYRUS run to run, or roll the LUVIAN through a large facility. The mist fills the space and treats the air.
Keep Running Between Turns
Because cycles fit between turns without extensive downtime, environmental coverage continues all day — no soaked runs, no residue, no need to clear the building.
Refill & Maintain
Drop in tablets or refill solution on schedule. Descaler every 6 months. Ongoing labor: minutes per unit per month, with coverage that doesn't thin out on your busiest weekends.
Frequently Asked Questions
No — and we won't claim that. GEIA dry misting equipment is an application method, not a disinfectant, and it does not carry kill or prevention claims. Kennel cough (CIRDC) is a complex syndrome best managed with a layered approach: vaccination, animal-health monitoring, and environmental hygiene. GEIA contributes to the environmental-hygiene layer by helping reduce the airborne and surface microbial load that drives transmission pressure in a facility. It is not a therapeutic intervention for an infected dog.
Hypochlorous is the same molecule the immune system produces to fight infection — non-toxic, pH neutral, and residue-free. Because the mist is ultra-fine, it can be used in occupied environments under controlled conditions, so dogs don't have to be moved out for a cycle. Follow the directions and safety data sheet for the chemistry your facility uses.
No. Daily cleaning of runs and surfaces — and vaccination — stay your front line. GEIA is the added layer that follows: it treats the air and the crevices, runs, and porous materials manual cleaning leaves uneven. The two together cover both the surfaces a cloth reaches and the air it can't.
No. Dry misting doesn't saturate surfaces. The 1–3 micron droplets stay suspended and settle without leaving standing water or sticky residue, so runs aren't soaked and there's no rinse-down or mop-up after the cycle.
GEIA equipment disperses hypochlorous solutions. EPA registration sits with the chemistry, not the equipment. 3.3g and 6.5g Tablets are EPA-registered HOCl-producing tablets. GEIA equipment is also compatible with other HOCl tablets, ready-to-use HOCl, and HOCl generators many distributors supply. Your distributor will help match the right chemistry to your kennel.
