Pet Care & Veterinary Laundry in Patchogue & Ronkonkoma, NY

Why do veterinary clinics and groomers outsource laundry?

Animal care businesses go through towels and bedding all day, and running machines in-house takes staff away from the animals. Li Laundry picks up towels, blankets and pet bedding from clinics, groomers and boarding facilities, washes them with premium equipment and returns them folded on a recurring schedule.

Which items do pet care businesses send us?

• Bath and drying towels from grooming stations
• Exam room towels and blankets from veterinary practices
• Kennel blankets and washable pet bedding
• Staff smocks and work wear
• Cleaning cloths and utility towels

Let us know about heavily soiled items or bedding with hair build-up so we can plan how to handle them.

How does recurring pickup work for a clinic or kennel?

Recurring pickup keeps a clean supply on your shelves without anyone running to a laundromat. We agree on pickup days within our Monday to Friday, 6am to 4pm hours, confirm pricing up front and follow your handling notes every time.

1. Call or message us: describe your business, location and weekly towel and bedding volume.
2. Set the schedule: choose pickup days that match your appointment and boarding calendar.
3. Agree on handling: separate bags for exam rooms, grooming and kennels if you prefer.
4. Choose your detergent: standard or hypoallergenic options for sensitive animals and staff.
5. Keep the rotation going: used items go out, clean folded items come back.

Is hypoallergenic detergent available for pet bedding?

Yes. Some animals and their owners are sensitive to fragrances and certain ingredients. Ask for our hypoallergenic option and mention anything specific you need to avoid.

What about a sudden surge in boarding guests?

Holidays and summer weekends can fill a kennel quickly. Same-day service is available, so contact us to confirm availability when demand spikes.

Where do you provide veterinary and pet care laundry?

Li Laundry serves animal hospitals, groomers, doggy daycares and rescues in Patchogue, Ronkonkoma and across Suffolk County, including Holbrook, Nesconset and Lake Grove.

Can pet owners use the service at home?

Yes. Households with dogs and cats often add pet blankets to a residential wash and fold order. Businesses with a grooming area plus an office can combine both under our commercial laundry service. To set up your first pickup, call (631) 636-5766 or contact us.

How should pet hair and soiled bedding be prepared for pickup?

Shake off loose hair and debris outdoors or into a bin, keep heavily soiled items in their own bag, and avoid sealing wet towels for long periods. These simple steps help Li Laundry clean your towels and pet bedding more effectively and keep odors down before the next pickup.

• Remove loose fur, litter and food debris before bagging
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly used towels
• Let wet towels air out rather than leaving them sealed
• Tell us about any items that need extra attention

How many towels should a grooming salon keep on hand?

Plan for the number of dogs and cats you groom between pickups, plus a buffer for busy weekends and holidays. Once we see your real volume, we can help adjust the pickup schedule so you never run short.

Do you handle shelter and rescue laundry?

Yes. Rescues and shelters go through a constant stream of blankets and towels, and a recurring pickup takes that work off volunteers and staff.

Can boarding facilities keep each guest's bedding separate?

Personal bedding that owners bring in can be bagged and labeled separately so it returns with the right pet.

Why does clean bedding matter for animal comfort?

Animals spend hours resting on blankets and towels in clinics, kennels and daycares. Fresh, soft bedding washed with a gentle detergent helps them settle in, keeps facilities smelling clean and shows owners their pets are well cared for. Recurring pickup keeps that standard steady every week.

Do doggy daycares need a different schedule?

Daycares often produce towels every day from play, baths and rainy-day walks. Many choose more than one pickup per week so used towels never pile up. Tell us your daily headcount and we can suggest a rhythm that fits.

Can veterinary clinics send surgical or exam room items?

Please discuss surgical, contaminated or specially handled textiles with us before pickup. We will confirm whether we can accept them, and how they should be bagged and labeled, before anything is collected.
