Pet Atopic Dermatitis, Pet Atopy, Pet Allergies & Illnesses
Pet atopic dermatitis, sometimes called pet atopy, is any type of pet skin allergy that is caused by environmental or airborne allergens. While we, as humans, usually develop itchy, watery eyes, a runny nose and other symptoms, our pets have much different symptoms that show up through their skin, making them miserable. These can lead to recurrent skin and ear infections along other complications. In fact, the severe itching and other complications caused by canine atopic dermatitis was the second most common reason VPI Pet Insurance policyholders took their dogs to the veterinarian last year!
Pets’ symptoms are so much more aggressive than our own which causes them to have severe allergic reactions. Because animals have so many more receptors in their nasal passages and more nerve endings, they react much more severely to even very small amounts of allergens that may not affect humans at the same level. That is why PetAirapy has designed our units specifically for the sensitive needs of your pets!
Seasonal Allergies Can Develop Into Year Round Pet Atopic Dermatitis (Pet Atopy)
If you have a dog or cat that has developed seasonal allergies, you may notice that each year—usually spring or fall—their symptoms last longer and are more severe. Even though pet atopy can develop as early as six months old or sooner, as your pet ages they become more sensitive to airborne allergens. An allergy to pollen can soon trigger allergic reactions to other environmental things such as dust, dander, dust mites and other airborne allergens. This is because seasonal allergies in pets usually trigger hypersensitivity. You then have to take them to the vet for more treatments and the symptoms become more difficult to treat and before you know it, your pet is suffering year round because of new allergic reactions. You are spending hundreds of dollars at the vet each year to simply treat the symptoms.
PetAirapy is here to treat the problem!
Natural pet allergy relief for your pets is as simple as installing a PetAirapy system in your home or investing in the PetAirapy portable unit for your apartment, condo or office. These units can easily clear up and help pet atopic dermitis without the topical treatments and medications that can have harmful, long term effects.
By removing airborne allergens and killing or inactivating airborne micro-organisms, including pollens, ragweed, dust and mold spores, that trigger allergy symptoms, PetAirapy provides natural allergy relief for cats and dogs. Take a moment to learn more about how the PetAirapy system works and how it can help your pet live a healthier, happier life.

Attention Pet Professionals: Your Business Could Be at Risk!
Year after year, we hear of many pet stores, kennels and groomers that have experienced an outbreak of kennel cough, Canine Parvovirus or Canine Influenza and the pets’ lives the outbreak has claimed. Even with vaccinations, your furry clients can still be at risk, costing you business and revenue. These pets are then treated at vet offices to expose even more healthy animals to these viruses. It’s time to stop this terrible cycle!
PetAirapy has innovated the way in which pet businesses are protecting their facilities and clients from these dangerous outbreaks with our air purification and surface disinfectant systems.
It only takes one animal to carry and spread the bacteria of kennel cough through the air in your building. Or a few microscopic germs of MRSA to infect your next client waiting to be groomed which can easily be missed by usual wiping down of tools or counter tops. PetAirapy has in-duct air purifying systems to sanitize the air flowing through your business – killing or deactivating the DNA of harmful and infectious micro-organisms brought in to your building. And for surgical and grooming tools, counters, tables and other surfaces within your business, we offer surface disinfectant systems to easily sanitize these areas within minutes to be ready and safe for your next client!
Allow your clients to breathe easy knowing you are doing all you can to protect their precious pet while they are in your care! You’ll even receive a certificate to display informing your clients of the proactive measures you are taking to protect their animals!
“Thank you PetAirapy! My dog, Sammy, had suffered with allergies all year round. Sammy would sneeze, constantly be rubbing his face and body into our carpet and furniture to try and find relief from his itching. Since we installed PetAirapy, Sammy is fine! When we take him out to the bathroom or to play, his symptoms return, but within about 10 to 15 minutes of being back inside our house, his symptoms disappear. Amazingly, at home it has even helped my husband’s allergy symptoms disappear. He sleeps much better! Our whole family LOVES PetAirapy.”
It’s currently the second most common reason that dogs visit the vet!
And it’s the fifth most common reason cats visit the vet!
On average, a single round of treatments for pet atopy in a canine runs between $400 and $800. It usually returns numerous times.
