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?
Who will benefit from the results?
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.

Stages and progress
Stage 1. Formulation development
Deadline:
By 31 May 2026
Status:
Completed
Progress update:
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
Deadline:
By 31 August 2026
Status:
Completed
Progress update:
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
Deadline:
By 15 October 2026
Status:
Completed
Progress update:
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.
