PetAirapy Air Purifier -- Portable Protection for Pet Allergies

petairapy.jpg

Pet allergies are becoming more and more common. Germs, allergens, viruses and bacteria are brought into our homes on our pet's fur, our hair, clothes, shoes, or just by opening a door or window. The micro-organisms and allergens then multiply and circulate throughout the air we and our pets breathe inside our home.

We all know that helpless feeling when we see our pets suffering. We make a trip to the vet and treat the scratching and itching symptoms with expensive medications, steroids and ointments. But there is another way. The affordable PetAirapy PA-777 Air Purifier goes right to the source of the problem.

petairapycat.jpgpetairapydog.jpg

It's a portable air purifier with six layers of purifying power, including four different filters, to trap allergens such as pollens, ragweed, dust, dust mites and dander from spreading throughout your home. The UVC germicidal lights kill a variety of bacteria, mold, viruses and other micro-organisms that can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory illnesses and infections.

With a flick of a switch, you can cover up to 1,000 sq feet. Smokers, asthma? Great for humans as well!

Amazon Hot New Pet Film Release -- Hachi: A Dog's Tale

hachi.jpg

Get your tissue box ready. Based on a true story from 1930's Japan, Hachi: A Dog's Tale, is a new film about pet love and loyalty. Part of this movie is viewed from the dog's perspective. It is directed by Academy Award-nominated director Lasse Hallström (2000, The Cider House Rules).

A college music professor Parker Wilson, played by Richard Gere, finds a young Akita puppy abandoned at the local train station. He has a strong sense of town and community and assumes the dog's owner will return to the train station to claim him in the morning. Parker takes the puppy home overnight, but when no one comes to get the dog, Parker convinces his reluctant wife, Cate (Joan Allen), to adopt the pup into their family. He names the puppy Hachiko--Hachi, for short--because of the Japanese symbol for good luck that's hanging from his collar.
