Don't let pet dander or odors get you down.

An air purifier with a HEPA filter will reduce pet dander and hair in your home. It works for dogs, cats, birds, or other furry friends. Allergies can affect you and your pets. An air purifier will help everyone in the home breathe more easily.

For pet odors, like a cat litter box, or dog odors in the air, use a solid carbon air purifier. It will make your air smell fresher.

Keep you and your pets healthy with HEPA.

It’s best to have an air purifier in every room of your home. For homes with pets and pet dander, you’ll especially want one near where your pet spends most of the time. This may be near a bird’s cage or a dog’s crate. It’s also very important to run an air purifier in your bedroom if your pet sleeps in your room with you.

Will an Air Purifier Help With Pet Hair?

An air purifier for pets captures the dander and hair that are airborne, stirred up when your cat jumps down or you sit on the couch. It will not lift hair off furniture; that is a vacuum's job. For a 300 sq ft room, size to a smoke CADR of 200 at 4.8 air changes per hour. Those look like opposites and they are not. Coarse particle removal is the airborne fraction: hair and dander already in the air. What has settled on the couch stays there until you vacuum it.

"Best for pet hair and dust… most efficient for coarse particle removal at T90 52 seconds." — CNET

RealSimple: Best For Pet Hair and Dust

"Because it’s extremely powerful, it performs well at capturing pet hair, pollen, and other gunk from the air." — Real Simple
