What triggers your allergies?
All allergies are triggered by exposure to generally harmless proteins called allergens. Not everyone reacts the same way when exposed to allergens.
When an allergic person's immune system is exposed to allergens, the immune system mistakenly identifies the protein as harmful.
The immune system sets off a response to attack this allergen and nearby cells, which is unecessary because the allergen isn't actually harmful. Allergic reactions are this collateral damage.
how we help
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.
Our innovative allergen neutralizing sprays harness the power of naturally-engineered proteins to target and neutralize pet allergens, making them harmless.
This groundbreaking product is safe and effective for both humans and animals. It's a game-changer for those who suffer from pet allergies, offering a way to enjoy life with furry friends, allergen-free!
How we produce our neutralizing technology
Discovery
Alpacas produce proteins called single-domain antibodies that can make allergens unrecognizable to your immune system.
Design
We used safe and modern bioengineering techniques to develop our patent-pending ingredient WhiskerBlock, which can block the interaction sites of allergens.
Production
We use modern production facilities to make WhiskerBlock for our products, conducting rigorous testing to ensure both safety and quality.
final product
The end result is an easy-to-use, clean, and effective spray for you to enjoy a sniffle-free life with your furry friends.
How we keep you safe
After production, the proteins undergo a proprietary purification process.
The proteins are then treated with gamma rays, reducing microbial contamination and further ensuring product quality.
Before packaging, we test every batch of proteins to ensure that they are effective.

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.
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.
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.
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.
