Go to https://homechef.com/legends.---Info on the science behind Pacagen: The vast majority of cat allergies are triggered by a single allergen called Fel d 1. Your allergies are triggered when you breathe in or come into contact with this allergen. But if that allergen is broken down or neutralized before you come into contact with it, there’s nothing to trigger your allergies! Pacagen’s Cat Allergen Neutralizing Spray is especially safe because the WhiskerBlock proteins powering the formula are extremely specific. That means that they do one thing and one thing only – bind to and neutralize Fel d 1. With this level of specificity, you can avoid pesky side effects caused by other ingredients that other companies use that have other effects beyond just stopping the allergens that trigger your cat allergies.  ---🎵 Music Credits"Edgeworthia" by Chad Crouch "Pilgrim's Progress" by Chad Crouch "Dune Lullaby" by Blue Dot Sessions "Thule Racer" by Blue Dot Sessions
