Clinic case studies

How the range replaces washed equipment in the ward.

Three worked scenarios for a small animal clinic, a shelter intake unit and an emergency hospital. Each one sets out the situation, the products used and what a practice can measure for itself.

Illustrative scenarios · not customer references

These scenarios are written from the product range and clinical workflow. They describe how the range is used, not results recorded at a named practice, and they contain no measured outcomes. Verified clinic material will replace them as it is published.

Small animal clinic · day ward

Replacing washed trays in a two-vet day ward

How a small clinic can move a day ward from washed plastic trays to a fresh single-use tray for every patient.

The situation

A two-vet practice runs a day ward with a fixed set of plastic trays. Trays go back to the sink between patients, so cleaning sits in the same room as patient care and the wash-up queue builds towards the end of the day.

What changes in the ward

  • VOLKOS® Treatment box & litter tray, size L, for kennel and cage use, one tray per patient.
  • Corner tray, size S, for smaller and post-surgical patients where floor space is tight.
  • Used trays leave with the clinical waste stream — no return path through the sink.

What to measure yourself

  • Staff minutes spent washing and disinfecting per shift.
  • Number of trays moving between patient areas and the sink each day.
  • Whether the end-of-day wash-up queue still exists.

Animal shelter · intake and quarantine

Intake and quarantine without shared trays

How a shelter can keep intake and quarantine kennels on single-use trays while intake volume moves up and down.

The situation

Intake volume changes week to week. Shared trays and bowls move between quarantine and general housing, and cleaning capacity is the limit on how fast a kennel can be turned around.

What changes in the ward

  • Pre-filled litter tray for intake, so every kennel gets the same litter amount with no preparation.
  • Feeding bowls used for a single animal and discarded with ward waste.
  • Scoop&Go scoops kept at the kennel and disposed of with the contaminated waste.

What to measure yourself

  • Time to turn a quarantine kennel around between animals.
  • Items that still cross between quarantine and general housing.
  • Litter and water used per kennel per day.

Emergency hospital · overnight shifts

Overnight shifts with no wash-up capacity

How an emergency hospital can cover unpredictable overnight admissions without depending on a wash cycle.

The situation

Admissions arrive without notice overnight with a small team on shift. Anything that has to be washed before it can be reused becomes a bottleneck at the worst possible time.

What changes in the ward

  • Pre-filled litter trays held ready so a cage can be prepared in seconds.
  • Treatment box & litter tray used for intraoperative waste containment and for clean urine, faecal and fluid sample collection.
  • Plastic-free Essentials kit handed over at discharge so owners continue the same routine at home.

What to measure yourself

  • Time from admission to a prepared cage.
  • Tasks the overnight team can no longer be blocked by.
  • Discharge conversations that end with a kit the owner can use immediately.
