Looking to breathe a little easier in a pet-friendly home? Pet air purifiers can help reduce airborne pathogens as well as allergens like pet hair and dander. With Chewy's broad selection of pet air purifiers, you can choose from portable models as well as purifiers for large spaces. Some even include bonus features like adjustable fans or cooling technology for added comfort. Here are some features to look for when shopping for pet air purifiers:
To ensure optimal performance, choose a purifier that's appropriately sized for your space. Check the model's specifications to find the clean air delivery rate (CADR), which determines the rate air cycles through the device. Make sure the model is strong enough to accommodate the space where you'll be using it and consider sizing up. Don't forget to add replacement filters to your Chewy Autoship and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for routine maintenance.
Yes, air purifiers can help with airborne contaminants like pet hair and dander. Models that incorporate activated carbon filtration or UV light may also help reduce pet-related odors.
No, air purifiers that emit ozone are generally not safe for pets. Pet air purifiers equipped with HEPA or activated carbon filtration are typically safe, but be sure to avoid models that utilize ionizers or ozone generators.
When shopping for a pet air purifier, look for features like HEPA filters to collect small airborne particles like dander, activated carbon filters to neutralize odor, and washable pre-filters to collect pet hair and other large debris. Check the purifier's specifications to make sure it's strong enough for the size of your space.
Check the manufacturer's instructions to determine how often you should replace the filters in your pet air purifier. HEPA filters and activated carbon filters generally need to be replaced every 1–2 months, while washable pre-filters may require more frequent cleaning.
