In addition to helping your pet live a healthier and longer life, an air purifier can also help eliminate unwanted pet smells such as litter box odor, and pet-related allergens like pet dander.

Within any home with a pet, an effective air purifier can significantly reduce the levels of pet-related dander and hair—along with other aggravating allergens and pollutants—bringing relief to those experiencing symptoms of allergies, which typcially impact the sinuses and irritate the eyes.  

HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters are certified to remove particles that are as small as 0.3 microns, and should remove small particulate matter when properly used and maintained,” Melanie Carver, Chief Mission Officer of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America shared with The Spruce Pets. Particulate matter includes pet dander, mold, bacteria, chemicals from cleaning products, dust, and other items commonly found in a household.
