Managing Pet Dander


On this Valentine’s Day it seems only fitting to talk about the big love that pets offer. Their shining eyes, wagging tails, flapping wings, squeals of delight upon seeing us takes coming home to a new level.
 
What is not so wonderful is the dander (small flakes of dead skin) that is continually shed from warm-blooded pets.  Dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, bunnies and other furry friends all shed the older skin as it is replaced by newer healthier skin that is more able to defend the body against disease and infection.
Dander is invisible to the human eye, but if you are allergic to it, you don’t have to see it to know it’s there.  It can cause watering eyes, sneezing, runny nose, congestion and coughing. 
The protein in the dander is one of the most potent allergens known.  And unless you get rid of your pet (unthinkable!) this is an issue that will continue for as long as your friend lives with you.
Keeping pet bedding and toys clean, keeping them out of the bedroom, opting for surfaces and furnishings that can be clean easily and frequently are all effective ways of limiting dander.  And these are probably totally doable things when your pet is young.
But when you have a friend that has been with you through life for 10 years or more, you realize that every moment is a gift and the desire to share every moment becomes stronger.  So it may become harder and or even no longer desirable to restrict the places your pooch can go.
So, if you are to that point, or even if you’re not and air purifier that can continually remove the dander from the air is a solution that will help you be able to enjoy your pet everywhere you go in your home and still reduce the amount of dander.

Let the Pet Dander Air Purifier send 250 cubic feet of fresh, clean air into your home every 60 seconds so that you can enjoy every minute with your pet.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
