The charcoal filters in my a/c knock down the odor from our dogs
I looked around and that’s how I found charcoal-coated air conditioner and furnace filters.
It was normal for me growing up in a house with lots of dogs that were rarely bathed. I’m sure the house had a strong odor to anyone coming in from outside for the very first time, but it was as normal to me as the smell of candles is to someone who burns them daily. In fact, you quickly forget there’s even an odor there at all. I feel embarrassed now remembering the times I would invite a date over to my house without realizing that they were probably put off by the intense dog odor. After I moved out, I lived free of pets for years until I met my current boyfriend. He has several dogs and was worried that I would be upset by this when we were out on our first date. Although I was technically free of pets at the time, I told him that I loved dogs intensely and had a house full of them growing up. This brought us closer together and I was happy to be around dogs again when he graciously asked me to move in with him a year later. However, unlike me during childhood, he was aware that his dogs gave off their normal odor for their species. It’s not necessarily unpleasant if they’re regularly bathed, but he still asked for my advice regarding the issue. I looked around and that’s how I found charcoal-coated air conditioner and furnace filters. There are mentions of these special HVAC filters on several of the biggest pet forums on the internet. Since they’re available at most of the local supercenters in my area, I pulled the trigger on the filter and was pleasantly surprised with the results. The charcoal-coated a/c filters don’t completely remove all of our pet odors, but they make a massive difference.
