The Austin Air Pet Machine Replacement Filter is engineered for homes with dogs, cats, birds, and other furry (or feathered) family members. This genuine replacement filter uses a specialized blend of impregnated carbon and mineral-based filtration.
While the HealthMate Plus also uses an impregnated carbon and mineral-based filtration, the Plus is designed for broader chemical sensitivities. The Pet Machine filter focuses on pet-specific air concerns — using more mineral-based filtration and a different (proprietary) impregnated carbon formula that’s optimized to adsorb ammonia-based smells and neutralize persistent pet odors at the source. With Certified HEPA material rated to capture 99.97% of airborne particles down to .3 microns and 99% of airborne particles down to .1 microns, such as dander, hair, allergens, and airborne bacteria. This also helps protect the tiny respiratory systems of your pets!
- White filter is designed for White and Sandstone units
- Black filter is designed for Black and Midnight Blue units
Designed for People Who:
- Have indoor pets and want to reduce lingering pet smells
- Are sensitive to ammonia, urine, or pet dander allergens
- Struggle with asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues triggered by pets
- Want to improve air quality in homes with multiple animals or high-traffic pet areas
- Prefer a targeted solution for pet-related air quality concerns
Why Choose the Pet Machine Replacement Filter?
While several Austin Air filters use carbon and mineral-based filtration, the Pet Machine provides a custom carbon blend that excels at removing ammonia-based odors. These are overlooked by general-purpose air purifiers but are commonly found in pet urine, bedding, and litter boxes. Combined with extra mineral-based filtration and high-efficiency HEPA filtration, this filter offers the perfect balance of particle capture and odor elimination for homes with pets. If your main concern is pet dander, smells, or allergy symptoms related to your furry family members, this is the best filter for the job.
Looking for Even More Protection?
Want to protect against viruses, VOCs, and chemical pollutants too? Consider upgrading to:
- Bedroom Machine Filter – Adds a 5th layer of military grade HEGA for extra defense against gases and viruses
- Immunity Machine Filter – Our most advanced option with 8-phase filtration, ideal for immune support and chemical sensitivities
All standard filters fit all standard Austin Air machines — so you can upgrade anytime without replacing your unit.
Real Research. Real Results.

The Asthma Farming Study
In Washington’s Yakima Valley, a rural area with lots of farms, dairies, and crops, there is a lot of air pollution from dust, ammonia, pesticides, and traffic. Children who live there often get asthma because the air inside their homes can be full of tiny particles that make breathing difficult.
Researchers from the University of Washington worked with local clinics and farmworker families between 2015 and 2017. They set up a study with children aged 6–12 who had asthma. Every family got asthma education and tools like mattress covers and green cleaning kits. But only half the families also received HealthMate air purifiers to use in the child’s bedroom and the living room—running 24/7 to clean the air indoors.
Here’s what happened:- In homes without the HEPA purifiers, indoor pollution (PM2.5) dropped by about 15% in bedrooms and 17% in living rooms.
- In contrast, homes with the HealthMate cleaners saw far bigger reductions—up to 65% less in bedrooms and 48% less in living rooms.
- The cleaner air led to better asthma control: kids had fewer symptoms and were much less likely to need unplanned doctor or emergency visits—72% fewer visits overall, and an even stronger benefit for kids with more severe symptoms at the start.
- Most asthma studies focus on cities—but this one is special because it shows the HealthMate works even in agricultural, rural settings with high levels of dust and ammonia.
- It shows that cleaning indoor air with a purifier really helps kids with asthma breathe easier and reduce emergency room visits.
- It proves that the HealthMate can be a powerful part of asthma management—especially in homes where outdoor pollution seeps inside every day.
