Controlling Cat & Dog Allergies Tips

What can I do to prevent allergic reactions from pet allergies?

Actually, these are tips for controlling allergies to all the furry creatures you can’t help but cuddle.

If you or your child is allergic to furry pets, especially cats, the best way to avoid allergic reactions is to find them another home. If you are like most people who are attached to their pets, that is usually not a desirable option. There are ways, however, to help lower the levels of animal allergens in the air, which may reduce allergic reactions.

  • Bathe your cat weekly and brush it more frequently (ideally, a non-allergic person should do this).
  • Try a dander removing product such as Nature’s Miracle Dander Remover and Body Deodorizer.
    • Since it’s always best to avoid the allergen that irritates you, try to have some else you trust to thoroughly clean your pet using this product or something similar.
  • Keep cats out of your bedroom.
  • Remove carpets and soft furnishings, which collect animal allergens.
  • Use a vacuum cleaner and room air cleaners with HEPA filters.
  • Wear a face mask while house and cat cleaning.
