subject: Air Cleaners For Pets--3 Reasons To Use A Pet Air Purifier [print this page] Coming home to a pet whether it's a cat dog, bunny, bird or any other creature that has stolen your heart, has to be one of life's best rewards.
As a pet owner you also know all of the responsibility and commitment that come with pet ownership. Using a pet air purifier means you can turn some of this responsibility over to the purifier and spend more time just enjoying every minute you have with your pet. Here are 3 reasons that you and your pet need an air purifier.
Hair - If you have a warm blooded pet, it has hair or fur. And you know first hand that hair and fur can and do go everywhere daily with normal activities. It is light enough to remain airborne for hours giving both you and your pet to inhale or ingest. And what isn't inhaled can then be blown into the air again once the fan from the heat or air conditioning comes on.
A filter won't vacuum for you, but by removing the hair while it's airborne, you and your pet breathe less of it, and there's less hair for you to vacuum from the floor and dust from the furniture. It is also makes for a more pleasant time when guest come if there is no pet hair blowing around when the heat or air conditioning start to move the air around.
Dander - Dander is dead skin that flakes off daily from your pet's skin. This is nature's way of getting rid of old skin and making way for healthy new skin. This is a process that will continue throughout the life of your pet. But if you are allergic, it can cause acute symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, and watery eyes. Many times it's not the dander itself but the protein found in the dander that causes adverse reactions, but by filtering the dander you've removed the source of the problem rather than having to treat the symptoms, or avoid your pets.
Odor - Pets make mistakes too. And with pets, mistakes will happen. If you can find the puddle or offending spot and neutralize it completely you will remove the odor, but if you can't find the spot, or can't get to the carpet padding or sub-flooring without major expense, a cleaner that can continuously filter the urine smell will make your home a nicer place to be.
