Pet ownership and the benefits of HEPA air filters

Pets can make life happier.

That is a simple fact.

Some might say the more pets, the happier you are. That’s my philosophy. I currently have two cats, three dogs, and a parakeet. They definitely make life more joyous and less stressful. The problem is I am susceptible to pet dander when it comes to my allergies. I must be crazy for having that many animals in my house, right? Well, I would be, but I have ways to mitigate the havoc that they could potentially wreak on my sinuses. For one, I use HEPA air filters. These air filters are more advanced than the garden variety ones. They are able to catch larger particles and irritants in the air, most notably those caused by pets. There is another advantage to HEPA air filters. Despite the fact that they are more advanced than regular ones, you do not need to change them nearly as often. Common air filters should be replaced once every 60 to 90 days, but HEPA air filters do not need to be changed for up to 6 to 12 months! Whether you lean closer to 6 or 12 months depends on the intensity and frequency of pollutants in your air. Because of the amount of pets I have, I typically do not allow 8 months to go by before I change the HEPA filter. Even if I did not have as many pets, I think I would continue to stick with a HEPA filter because of how pure the air feels thanks to its work!
