Vet2Care — Development of an Innovative Product for the Veterinary Market by Scense Sp. z o.o.

Scense Sp. z o.o. received a European Union grant for the Vet2Care project. As part of the project, we developed a Pawadin formulation intended for surface disinfection in environments used by dogs and cats, carried out stability and efficacy testing, and completed the work preparing the product for the subsequent registration process and introduction to the target markets.

Project objective

Vet2Care aims to develop a stable formulation for a product intended for hygiene in animal environments, confirm its efficacy through testing, and prepare the solution for registration and market introduction. The project is intended to help raise hygiene standards in places involved in caring for dogs and cats and improve safety for people and animals.

What did we achieve as part of the project?

  • We developed and optimised the Pawadin formulation.
  • We carried out stability and physicochemical parameter testing.
  • We tested efficacy against selected microorganisms.
  • We purchased the basic equipment needed for laboratory work.
  • We prepared product documentation and materials for the registration process.
  • We developed labels and packaging for the target markets.
  • We prepared market analyses and recommendations for market introduction in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Lithuania.
  • We carried out an environmental footprint analysis and identified opportunities to reduce the product’s environmental impact.
  • We launched the product website in Polish and English.

Who will benefit from the results?

  • Veterinary practices and clinics
  • Animal shelters, pet hotels and foster homes
  • Grooming salons
  • Breeders
  • Pet product retailers and distributors
  • Dog and cat owners and carers

The project’s results will also benefit people working in spaces used by animals, as well as partners responsible for the product’s future production and distribution.

Project results

  • A developed product formulation for hygiene in environments used by dogs and cats
  • A formulation stability test report

Stages and progress

Stage 1. Formulation development

By 31 May 2026

Completed

We developed a Pawadin formulation intended for surface disinfection in veterinary hygiene. We selected the ingredients and preparation method and assessed stability at different temperatures, including pH measurements and observations of changes in colour and odour. The selected formulation was submitted for microbiological efficacy testing.

Stage 2. Efficacy testing

By 31 August 2026

Completed

We carried out efficacy testing in collaboration with a microbiology laboratory. Under the test conditions, bactericidal activity was confirmed on porous and non-porous surfaces, along with fungicidal and yeasticidal activity on non-porous surfaces. The tests covered 10 microorganisms, including species relevant to hygiene in environments used by companion animals.

Stage 3. Preparation for market introduction

By 15 October 2026

Completed

As part of the third milestone, we completed the work preparing Pawadin for market introduction. We developed product documentation, labels and packaging for the target markets, as well as information materials to support future commercialisation. We prepared market analyses and recommendations for introducing the product in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Lithuania. We also carried out an environmental footprint analysis to identify opportunities to reduce the product’s environmental impact, particularly in relation to packaging and transport. This work provides a basis for the subsequent registration activities and Pawadin’s market introduction.
