Suffer from pet allergies? Choose a high-quality air purifier

We spend a lot of time with our pets. Cozy, but people with a pet allergy often suffer from unpleasant symptoms. That’s why more and more households choose an air purifier for pet allergies to instantly improve indoor air quality. And it makes sense: dog hair, cat hair and bird dander cause major discomfort and linger in the air for a long time.

Pet allergy complaints

An allergy to your pet causes annoying symptoms / complaints. The most common health complaints are:

• Itchy nose
• Itchy or stinging eyes
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Sneezing
• Distress/ Shortness of breath
• Headache

An allergy to pets can give you complaints all year round (source). Do you also experience complaints yourself? Naturally, you want to get rid of it as soon as possible. With a good air purifier against dog allergy, cat allergy, bird allergy or any other pet allergy, you can!

Why use an air purifier for pet allergies?

Fighting unpleasant odours and reducing allergic reactions – these are the two main reasons to buy a pet allergy air purifier. Dog owners in particular struggle with bad smells at home. Everyone knows dogs give off a strong odour, especially when wet from rain. Fortunately, a good air purifier for pets removes these unwanted smells from your living space. Most pet allergens from dogs, cats, canaries, parrots and other animals are found in skin flakes and feathers, but also in saliva and urine. These allergens can trigger strong symptoms in sensitive people.

How does an air purifier help against pet allergies?

An air purifier removes pollution from the air. This includes dust from dogs, cats and birds that can irritate the respiratory tract. Pet allergy air purifiers are effective because they work with an air cleaning filter. We recommend a HEPA filter or AIH filter. They are extremely effective in removing pet allergens. For example, a HEPA filter has an air cleaning efficiency of 99.99%.

In short: using an air purifier against cat allergies, dog allergies and other pet allergies removes allergens from the air. This greatly reduces your allergy complaints. Some air purifiers can also remove unpleasant odors from the air.

How to choose the right air purifier for pet allergies?

Not every air purifier tackles pet allergens equally well. When choosing, pay attention to these key points:
1. Choose the right filter type

• HEPA filter: captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, such as dander, hair and pollen. Perfect for people with strong allergies.
• AIH filter: combines active ionisation with HEPA technology for even better results. Removes ultrafine particles and bacteria.

2. Check the CADR value
The Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) shows how much clean air the purifier delivers per hour. The higher the CADR, the faster and more effectively it removes allergens. Always choose a model with a CADR suitable for your room size.

3. Noise level and energy consumption
For use in living rooms or bedrooms, quiet and energy-efficient models are ideal. This way the air purifier can run at night without disturbing you or consuming too much power.

4. Activated carbon filter for odours
Suffering from dog or cat smells? An activated carbon filter removes unpleasant odours, making your home not only healthier but also fresher.

Alternative and complementary solutions for pet allergies

An air purifier for pet allergies greatly improves indoor air quality, but combine it with additional measures for the best results. This way you tackle allergens at the source and reduce symptoms even further.
1. Vacuum with a HEPA vacuum cleaner
Choose a vacuum with a HEPA filter. It doesn’t just remove visible dirt, but also microscopic dander and hair hidden in carpets, cushions and rugs.

2. Brush and wash pets regularly
By brushing dogs and cats outdoors, you remove loose hair and dander before they spread indoors. Occasional mild washing can also help reduce allergens – always consult your vet about the right frequency.

3. Ventilate your home properly
Bring in fresh air by airing out your home regularly. Open windows and doors when possible and combine this with an air purifier for an optimal indoor climate.

4. Allergy-friendly materials at home
Opt for smooth floors like wood or laminate instead of carpets. Use curtains and furniture that are easy to clean. The less dust and textiles, the fewer allergens accumulate.
