Many people face a difficult predicament when they realize that they have a pet dander allergy. No one wants to give up the family cat or dog, but personal comfort and well-being are also important to consider. Fortunately, there are allergy products you can purchase to help you co-exist peacefully with your furry friend.
Allerpet was one of the first external solutions to aid in the removal of pet-related allergens. According to the brand's website, there is a 65 to 75 percent chance that affected individuals can keep their cat or dog without having negative reactions if Allerpet is used on a weekly basis along with brushing and combing.
Contrary to what some may think, it isn't the animal's hair that people are allergic to. It's the dander, sebaceous gland excretions, saliva and urine. When these tiny allergens are inhaled, symptoms can begin to appear.
By applying a product like the Allerpet/C Allergen Neutralizing Solution for Cats to your little buddy's fur, you can combat many of these common irritants. Just wet a washcloth with enough of the formula to make it damp and clean your pet by wiping back and forth with and against the direction of the hair. Be sure the solution reaches all the way down to the skin, using your fingers to part the fur if you need to.
Although bathing your animal can also help clear away allergens, using Allerpet formulas is often easier on both the owner and the cat or dog. Plus, this particular solution conditions your pet's coat, making it clean and preventing it from drying out.
