Pet allergies can devastate your relationship with your family pet. Fight dander and pet hair with a range of indoor air cleaning products specifically designed to remove pet hair and dander for better breathing.
The known allergens—dried saliva on pet hair, dander, and outdoor allergens they bring in—are the culprits that attack our immune system.
“How to reduce pet dander?” is the most common question we see, and we do have good news. You can win the war on pet allergies.
Furnace Filters for Homes with Pets
Clean, fresh air begins with whole-house filtration. High-efficiency furnace filters, such as the 3M Filtrete Healthy Living filters, remove pet allergens and odors from your home with pleated MERV-12 filtration.
These high-efficiency filters are electrostatically charged, so they not only reduce pet dander and odors but also capture bacteria, germs, smoke, viruses, and other particulates down to 0.3 microns.
They can also help your HVAC system run more efficiently by keeping internal ductwork, coils, and fan free from debris and dust.
While they can be effectively used for up to 12 months, in a home with several pets, it is recommended that you check them every three months and change as needed.
3M Healthy Living Ultra Allergen Reduction filters are offered in 4- and 5-inch thicknesses. If your system allows only a one-inch filter, you can still get superior allergen removal with 3M Filtrete Allergen Reduction 1-inch filters.
Vacuums for Pet Hair & Dander
High traffic areas tend to accumulate a lot of dander and hair that gets kicked up, accumulating and floating in the air we breathe. Plus, pet hair quickly embeds in area rug fibers, along baseboards, and in furniture crevices.
The exceptional CX1 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum from Miele uses cyclonic vortex technology to create powerful suction that effectively captures pet hair and dander from both bare and carpeted flooring.
An internal lifetime HEPA filter captures 99.97% of fine particulates, trapping them and preventing them from being exhausted into the air.
Six cleaning accessories allow you to remove pet hair from baseboards, in between sofa cushions, and into crevices with ease. Miele's popular parquet twister makes keeping bare floors dander and hair-free a breeze.
For smaller homes or apartments, the Miele TriFlex HX1 Cat & Dog Cordless Stick Vacuum combines powerful cleaning with convenience. With an integrated lifetime HEPA filter to capture fine particles, dander, and fluff stay under control.

Sometimes, cleaning surfaces or furnace filtration just isn't enough to conquer pet allergies. And friends or guests may experience runny or stuffy noses, itchy eyes, and difficulty breathing. Air purifiers can capture allergens and circulate clean air in living areas and bedrooms.
Do Air Purifiers Work for Pet Allergies?
