Pet Dander or Grooming Mask

We love our pets! But, while grooming a dog, horse, cat or any furry animal, the air you breathe may contain hair, dander, parasites and bacteria which, after repeated exposure, can cause or contribute to bronchial problems. This is especially during "shavedowns" and the grinding of nails that groomers often endure on a daily basis. Many of our customers are dog and cat groomers that are looking for protection from what is now being coined "Groomer's Lung". They have reported the Breathe Healthy mask is effective and comfortable enough for all-day use.

A Breathe Healthy multi-layer, washable, antibacterial, adjustable, "fun to wear" mask, can be worn as a groomer's mask or pet dander mask, or for general pet allergy protection. It effectively filters hair, most dander, dust, and parasites, and is made with hi-tech materials that wick and repel moisture away from the face, allowing for greater long term comfort. Our masks can be worn for an extended period of time without getting unbearably hot ... and are available in a variety of pet friendly designs.

The AEGIS shield is a unique chemical technology that can be applied to a material, making it antimicrobially active. The AEGIS Microbe Shield technology permanently bonds (polymerizes) with the substrate and will not leach or diminish overtime. The technology relies on the coating remaining affixed to the substrate – killing microorganisms as they contact the treated surface.

The AEGIS Microbe Shield, or simply AEGIS, is a permanent antimicrobial that, when applied properly only by trained applicators, becomes part of a new surface - a surface that is highly resistant to microbial attack. Unlike all other conventional antimicrobials, AEGIS does not off gas, leach, diffuse, migrate, volatilize, or otherwise leave the surface to which it has been applied.

The result is an extraordinary safety and efficacy profile unmatched by other products. The incorporation of AEGIS Antimicrobial, and its remarkable surface modifying characteristics, has produced a new generation of air filtration products that can provide effective control of airborne microbes while eliminating the filter surface as a potential site for bacteria growth.
