Allergic To Your Dog?

If you share your home with a dog but are bothered by allergy symptoms whenever your pooch is near, there is a good chance that you are allergic to your dog.

Before total panic sets in, there are potentially many other allergens that might be working to rev up allergy symptoms. But let’s talk about the dog first.

Most people who are allergic to dogs are super sensitive to the protein in the dander that they shed. Dander is a fact of life with any warm-blooded animal, and is minute particles of dead skin that drop off when it is replaced by newer, healthier skin.

The dander is harmless to anyone whose body is not sensitive to it. But unfortunately this dander is a food source for another potent allergen---dust mites.

The additional dander from a dog can increase the dust mite population which can also cause an escalation in symptoms---mainly sneezing, watering eyes, runny nose, and congestion.

Keeping pet bedding laundered, the floors vacuumed, your dog well groomed and fed with a healthy diet are all important steps to take to decrease the amount of pet-related allergens in your home.

You can also reduce your exposure to these triggers by filtering your air with a high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) filter that is specifically designed to eliminate particles. By definition this type of filter must be able to remove 99.97% of airborne particulates that .3 microns or greater in size.

So even though your main focus is dog particles such as hair, fur, and dander, this filter will also remove more normal allergy triggers such as household dust and even seasonal pollen.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that can help you enjoy your dog more and sneeze less by drastically reducing the pet allergens in your air.

Two Dog Air Purifier

If you are looking for an air purifier to remove dog hair, dander, and everything else that 2 dogs send into your air when they shake, you need an air purifier that is efficient at removing particles.

High efficiency particle arresting (most often shortened to HEPA) air filters are designated as such because they are able to remove 99,997 out of every10,000 airborne particles that are .3 microns or bigger.

This makes their elimination list impressive. It can remove airborne dog hair and dander as well as more normal household particles such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pollen, bacteria, and viruses.

And as great as this filter is, just having one of these in a purifier would mean that it would fill pretty quickly with particles big and small. This would make it a high maintenance purifier. Life throws enough high maintenance things at us without adding an air cleaner to the list.

The most effective purifier should have a canister of filters. These filters should vary in size so that some catch big particles, others, medium particles leaving the HEPA for microscopic particulates.

And since we all know that animals have their own unique smell (and they surely think the same of us), it would be great to have a cleaner that would also take out the “doggy smell”. That is most effectively done with carbon.

A filter that is made of carbon and woven as a cloth would be the best of both worlds because it could remove additional particles as well as odors.

PurerAir.com offers an air cleaner with all of these filters, features and more. See it now at http://purerair.com/pet_dander_air_purifier.html

Take good care and hug the dogs! I have a Golden that I love!
