Air purifiers.. Do they work? (allergies)

[413x]

My dog has bad allergies. I think it's something indoors as it doesn't seem seasonal.

Do these things work? They always seem too good to be true.

Happy to spend whatever amount of money if they do work

Surely it depends on what the dog is allergic to?

Its nigh on impossible to know. This would be part of that process.

Its obviously not pollen. So it must be inside the house.

Thanks guys.

Ordered a levoit as it seems to get good reviews and filters are reasonable price

My Springer is allergic to 4 different kinds of dust might, he's given a custom vaccine to help him once a month. You'll never get rid of all the mites.

Can I ask how you got this tested?

We got referred by our Vet to Willows in Birmingham https://willows.uk.net/ It's a specialist vets.
Make sure you're insured before you pursue it, just the consultation at Willows was about £300.

Ooft. That is expensive for a consult even at a specialist.

Levoit 300S here, got 2 of them. I had originally purchased them to take in dirty air caused by construction work outside my home but that work never took off. We still use them heavily and they've certainly collected up a lot of rubbish in our place, which is a very clean new build with only the bedroom having a carpet. My wife and I haven't any allergies though so I can't comment on that aspect.

This is the one I've decided on.

For 130 quid it's worth trying. Even one vet bill is more than this

It can help, but if the allergen source is still present then not really.
Overpriced fans imo.

I can only assume it's dust related.
Even reducing the amount may help.
