There are many problems that pet owners can encounter. Many dog owners also have cats and the combination of dog and cat hair and dander can be a real problem for people who suffer from allergies.

This week’s blog will cover some ways you can minimize allergy problems in your home.
Air filters work to filter the air in the house and pick out out the hair and dander.
Make sure that all the filters in the house are HEPA filters.
Having a space that is kept pet-free and in which an air filter with a HEPA is used, will give allergy sufferers respite in the home.
The use of a humidifies will help your pets’ skin to be less dry and there for flaky and will also help weigh down any floating particles.
Bathe your pets on a weekly basis to minimize allergens getting into the home.
Try immuno-therapy, including allergy shots. See an allergist to see if it is a combination of allergens that is causing your misery and not just the pets alone.
Using a neti pot to rinse out your sinuses is a good way to treat any allergy. The salt water rinses out the allergy causing particles and gives you a fighting chance.
While we can’t train your dog to not be an allergen, we do with behavior problems like dogs jumping on furniture to being their hair to you! Call for more information.
