Better for the pet
A more natural material reduces stress.
About VOLKOS
Where medical hygiene meets environmental responsibility.
VOLKOS is a veterinary hygiene range from Bellus Pet Company, Tallinn. Trays, bowls and scoops in recycled and renewable fibre, leak-free by design, single-use by principle, and fully biodegradable after use — so clinics break the contamination chain and get cleaning hours back.
Our mission
Better outcomes, less risk, less waste.
Deliver clinical-grade, sustainable hygiene solutions that improve animal care outcomes and reduce infection risk and waste in veterinary settings.
Professional, evidence-led, eco-responsible partner for veterinarians and shelters. We bridge the gap between medical hygiene and environmental responsibility.
Products support veterinary teams through post-anesthesia recovery, isolation care and high-turnover wards. Practical design removes friction; material choices keep the disposal route simple.

Why we started
We saw both sides of the same day.
We spent time in veterinary clinics and saw both sides of the same day. Caring for animals is joy — a cat eating again, a dog walking out of the door with its owner, a waiting room that suddenly relaxes. And it is stress and sadness when things do not go well, when a ward is full and a nurse is still cleaning up at nine in the evening. We cannot change the hard days. So we asked a smaller question: which parts of them could we make easier, safer, faster and cleaner — and give that time back to the animal?
Give the time back to the animal. That is the whole argument.
Break the chain
A fresh tray for every patient.
Give back the hours
No washing, no disinfecting, no scrubbing.
No plastic, no chemistry
100% recycled biodegradable paper.
Audited measures
We are better for the planet
Same job in the ward, a different footprint on every measure a practice is audited on.

What guides us
Four values, one practical standard.
Sustainability
Recycled and renewable fibre throughout the range, with sustainability carried into manufacturing, material sourcing and packaging. 100% recycled paper, no plastic, no chemistry, biodegradable in 90–180 days.
Practical design
Products are designed around veterinary workflows. Removing washing, disinfecting, drying and redistribution takes a whole cleaning cycle out of the shift and leaves a steadier workflow with fewer bottlenecks.
Infection control
A fresh tray for every patient. Nothing travels back through the sink, so the contamination chain is broken by design in recovery, isolation and high-turnover wards.
Animal welfare
Cleaner, simpler care supports calmer recoveries and more predictable hygiene during the moments when patients most need comfort and attention.
Three pillars
How we measure ourselves.
Infection control
Minimising pathogen transmission. A fresh tray for every patient; nothing travels back through the sink.
Sustainability
Biodegradable, eco-safe materials. 100% recycled paper, no plastic, no chemistry, gone in 90–180 days.
Efficiency
Saving staff time and resources. No washing, no disinfecting, no scrubbing, no wash-up queue.
Clinical
A fresh tray for every patient.
Zero disinfection window.
Time
60% less staff cleaning time
compared with a multi-use tray.
