Pet Dander & Hair

Pets produce two issues: visible hair/fur and invisible dander (dead skin flakes). Dander floats for hours and carries allergens (Fel d 1). You need filtration for both.

info

Health DisclaimerRegular grooming and vacuuming are mainstays. The purifier catches what floats, not what sticks to sofas.

Expert Guides on Pet Dander & Hair

Best Air Purifiers for Pets: Dogs, Cats & Dander

Best Air Purifiers for Pets: Dogs, Cats & Dander

Love your pet but hate the dander and "wet dog" smell? These purifiers are specifically chosen for fur and odour control.

Common Questions

?Will it reduce dog hair on furniture?

Only slightly. It catches airborne hair, but gravity pulls hair to the floor faster than most fans can pull it in.

?Does it help with cat allergies?

Yes. Cat dander is sticky and light. HEPA filters capture the airborne dander that triggers sneezing.

?Will it smell?

The purifier traps the smell, so the room smells better. Change filters if the exhaust air starts to smell.

?Is it safe for pets?

Yes. Just ensure cords are tucked away. Avoid ozone generators around birds and small pets.
