Managing Airborne Pet Allergies


If you’re a pet lover and you’ve discovered you are allergic, it can feel like a double whammy! Having a pet as a part of the family brings a lot of joy, but realizing that the protein in its dander is the cause of sneezing, coughing, watering eyes, and congestion can literally make you feel bad.

All warm-blooded animals produce dander. And those dead flakes of skin contain a protein that is a powerful irritant for those who suffer with allergies and asthma. Because the dander is so light, it can and does go airborne, making itself available to be inhaled continuously.

Even for those who have not shown previous sensitivity to it, prolonged exposure to high levels of dander can result in symptoms that make being around the pet uncomfortable. The only way to reduce the amount of dander and pet related allergens in the air is to continuously filter the air.

The best type of filter to eliminate particles is a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter.

Designed to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 particles down to .3 microns in size, it is the most effective type of filter for pet allergies.

Not only will this type of filtration remove pet-related particles but other well known allergy triggers such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and seasonal pollens.
