Dogs really are man's best friends. The dander they produce is not, particularly if you are allergic to it. Using the right air purifier can give you constant and drastic relief from the dander. Here are 5 great reasons why this is true. A Safe Solution---An air cleaner whose only by-product is fresh clean air is the safest solution there is. Look in the technical specifications of the unit to make sure there is zero ozone emitted and no ionization involved in the cleaning process. Both of these can bigger problems than a dog dander allergy will. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has ruled that any amount of ozone produced by air purifiers is unsafe. Works Continuously----An air cleaner with a split capacitor motor is rated for continuous operation and high revolutions per minute (RPM). The benefit of a unit with this type of motor is that as fast as the dander goes into the air, this unit can take it out. With fresh air as the only result, it's a win, win situation for both you and your pet. Requires Minimal Effort---A unit whose only reuqirement is that you turn it on and let it clean the air 24 hours a day takes way less time, effort, and money than anything else you can do. And it is continually effective without you having to do anything. It Is A Non-Invasive---It's true that you can take medication to reduce discomfort and mask the symptoms, but ultimately they will return unless the allergen is drastically reduced. You could also bathe your dog (consult your vet first) and reduce the lose flakes that are most likely to go airborne when it shakes, runs, jumps on the couch or fetches the ball for you. But is this a pleasant activity for you or your dog? In most cases the answer is no. Your pooch will love you for not forcing a bath each week! An air cleaner is an easy yet effective way to reduce the trigger. And it doesn't cause you or your pet grief. Improves Air Quality For All---Although the dog-related allergen is probably first on your list to get rid of, most respiratory conditions are triggered by a variety of irritants. Things like normal household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, bacteria and viruses can all work in conjunction with the dander to cause problems. Using an air cleaner with HEPA or a high efficiency particles arresting filter enables it to remove airborne particles from any source that are .3 microns or larger in size. This also includes airborne dog hair which is not generally an allergen but often has dander attached to it. This is a huge benefit for all who live with you and can improve indoor air quality 24 hours a day every day.
