01 Discover

In the heart of the Andes, Alpacas thrive in part thanks to a unique adaptation - their immune systems produce single-domain antibodies, a class of tiny yet powerful proteins that are adept at neutralizing threats like viruses and allergens.

02 Design

Inspired by Alpacas' unique immune system, we developed WhiskerBlock, a technology that precisely targets and binds to Fel d 1, the primary cat allergen. Its innovative structure, featuring three specialized flexible loops, transforms allergenic tetramers into non-reactive monomers.

FAQs

Allergens are harmless proteins that your body has misidentified as harmful. For cats, the allergen they produce is called Fel d 1.

Our Allergen Neutralizing Powders are engineered to be highly specific and only target the allergen it was designed to bind to. Through internal testing, we are certain that our neutralizing proteins cannot bind to anything else.

We combat allergies in an innovative way by using our alpaca-inspired protein technology. Our neutralizing proteins resembles small fragments of antibodies, which are an important part of all immune systems. These proteins have highly specific receptors that bind to target allergens. For cat allergies, the major allergen is Fel d 1. We’ve designed our proteins to target and break down any Fel d 1 in their vicinity. These proteins bind to Fel d 1, simultaneously disguising it from your immune system and breaking it down. As a result, your immune system does not detect a threshold level of active Fel d 1, preventing your allergies from being triggered.

Our allergen neutralizing proteins resemble a conventional antibody, an important protein in all immune systems. Our proteins are roughly a tenth the size of a conventional antibody, so it can fit into smaller spaces and more easily bind to different allergens. Although humans don’t naturally produce our proteins as a part of their immune process, camelids (such as alpacas) can! We create a blueprint for these proteins by leveraging an alpaca's immune systems in the lab, enabling us to further use our neutralizing technology for a wide range of applications without requiring any additional samples. Many researchers across the world are already using similar technologies in a variety of settings, including therapeutics, diagnostics, and imaging, so you can be assured that they are safe to use.

Definitely! We made sure to use a pet-friendly approach when creating our formulas. Each ingredient was hand-picked to be safe for everyone involved, whether four-legged or not. However, it's best to avoid spraying directly onto cats – cats usually don't like getting wet. Additionally, the allergen-neutralizing proteins are always manufactured to food-grade standards.

Our products use the latest developments in biotechnology to provide you with a safe, pure, and environmentally friendly way to manage your allergies. We developed a protein-based technology that can neutralize up to 98% of Fel d 1, whereas comparable products on the market are only able to neutralize up to 50% of Fel d 1. We conduct a rigorous testing to make sure that all our products are both safe to use and non-invasive to you & your pet’s routine.
