Clean air for World Animal Day
Animal Day, the day we put an extra spotlight on our dear dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.! As much as we love our pets, we cannot deny that they produce foul odors, dander, hair and moisture, as well as emitting CO2. Both long-haired, short-haired and hairless animals create indoor pollution. These pollutants cause indoor air quality to deteriorate. Fresh air is incredibly important, both for you and your pet. Want to treat yourself and your pet more and not just on Animal Day? Treat your personal pet and yourself to a clean environment!
Why is healthy air quality important for me and my pet?
In a poorly ventilated room, you are three times more likely to have health problems. This is partly because of CO2. When you ventilate a room, polluted air goes out and is replaced by fresh air. This is also how you prevent mold from growing in invisible places. Mold not only causes poor, unhealthy air quality but also stale odors.
Want to make sure your pet and you are always surrounded by clean indoor air? Then purchase a CO2 meter. The CO2 meter will tell you when it is time to ventilate. You can also opt for CO2-controlled ventilation, where the ventilation system does all the work for you. It ventilates more when the air quality is poor and less when it is not necessary. Simple and energy efficient!
REMEMBER: Don't forget to leave the ventilation on in the house when you're not home. After all, your pet is at home and they need fresh air. A lack of fresh indoor air can lead to health issues in animals as well. Windows can't always open due to burglary or weather, making proper ventilation crucial.
How do I get rid of my pet's bad smell?
At some point, you become blind to certain smells in your home. When you have visitors, you don't want them to notice musty smells in your home. These musty smells are caused by, among other things, humidity, CO2 and the body odours of our pets.
Remedies such as room sprays and scented candles are only temporary and also unhealthy for you and your four-legged friend. Your pet is not a temporary resident in your home, so why choose temporary solutions? If you ventilate constantly, bad smells won't stand a chance. You no longer have to think about the bad smells at home when you have visitors. An air purifier also offers a solution to eliminate unpleasant odours in the home.

How can I reduce my allergy to my pet?
When you are allergic to your pet, you get symptoms mainly after contact with the animal. Usually the symptoms start within half an hour. In an allergic reaction, there is an early and late reaction. The early reaction often manifests as a runny nose, watering and itchy eyes and sneezing. The late reaction causes a stuffy nose, coughing, wheezing, headaches, fatigue, tightness in the chest, and often skin complaints.
A ventilation system provides relief for these physical complaints. Through this system, the air is continuously refreshed. When you supplement your ventilation with an air purifier, allergens are eliminated from the air.
Ventilation tips for pets
TIP 1: Make sure you have good ventilation.
We've mentioned this tip before in this blog, but it's definitely the most important. Inadequate ventilation increases the risk of health problems for you and your pet. A MVHR system will ensure that air is automatically supplied and extracted. Don't feel like doing a big renovation? Then opt for mechanical ventilation or a decentralised MVHR system.
TIP 2: Purchase a CO2 meter.
A CO2 meter will tell you exactly when the air is unhealthy and when it is time to ventilate. This CO2 meter from EnviSense measures both CO2 content and humidity.
TIP 3: Purchase an air purifier.
We have already mentioned this tip. An air purifier is an excellent addition to good ventilation. Air purifiers remove pollutants and dirt from the air. AIR8's 260i NANO and 280 NANO air purifiers are ideal for use in rooms up to 30 m2. Thanks to the 6-stage filtration, the air in your home will be clean again in no time!
