Is water enough to clean shoes after stepping in Rid-x granules?

Given that you have already washed them, it should be fine. Leaving them on the stairs to dry is fine as well since Mirz doesn't have access to the stairs. In addition, since you carried the shoes inside after you washed them, there isn't a worry about anything getting spread in the house. Just put them back on outside the next time you wear them. I hope this helps!

As long as you have cleaned your shoes, it will be fine to wear them in the house and Mirz will be fine. I do think you are worrying a little too much about this as I know you have posted multiple times about this topic, but if you really want to be safe, just vacuum and clean your car before driving it again. I hope this finally sets your mind at ease :-)

I don't think you need to worry about this at all. The cat has to actually ingest the plant itself for it to be toxic. You just stepping on the plant should not transfer anything toxic. It is up to you though how you want to handle this. If you want to be safe then yes, rinsing your shoes off thoroughly with a hose and leaving them out of reach of the cats is a good idea.

Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This is a great question, and it's good that you're thinking about how to keep your animals safe. The difficulty comes from the fact that dirt and gravel are, by nature, nearly impossible to truly disinfect. We can talk about disinfecting hard (non-porous) surfaces with bleach, which is really the only disinfectant that is effective against parvovirus....but nothing will truly disinfect dirt and gravel, because you can't saturate and soak all sides of every piece of dirt & rock with the bleach solution, and parvovirus can remain in the environment for months to even years. So, with a big grain of salt to consider that it still won't be truly disinfected, but to do your diligence to try to sanitize the area as best as possible, I recommend thoroughly spraying the area with copious amounts of water first (the goal here is to dilute and wash away any remaining microscopic fecal matter). Let it dry, then I'd spray the top layer of dirt & gravel with a dilute bleach solution of 3/4 cups bleach in 1 gallon water. Also spray the barrier/walls. Allow that to dry. If possible, it may be worth buying enough gravel to add another layer on top of what's there, that you know is clean. That way, you know the surface that your pet is primarily in contact with should be safe and free of contamination. I hope this helps!

As long as you thoroughly rinse the rugs after they are washed, there shouldn't be a problem with any residue from the cleaner. If you can find a soap/shampoo called Orvus in your area, or order it online, that should be a safe, effective cleaner. I have used it myself to bathe horses, so it shouldn't be a problem using it to clean rugs for your cats to lie on.

How naughty of Nicco! No, it will certainly not harm him to either rinse in warm water or even give a full-blown bath with a gentle oatmeal pet shampoo or baby shampoo. We try to avoid frequent bathing on a routine basis since it can dry out the skin by decreasing some of the oils in the hair coat, however, sometimes situations arise where it is unavoidable!

Washing in a bucket (or bowl) with mild soap should be just fine. The small amount in a baby wipe would be unlikely to cause any problems, but probably a good idea to wash the feet. Hope this helps and thank you for using Pet Coach.
