What are some good ways to relieve pet allergies?
If a person had to live in a household with an indoor cat/dog, and was allergic, what would be the best remedies for their allergy symptoms? Have you found anything that helps with itchy eyes, congestion, skin irritation, etc?
There are a few wonderful products that you can use on your pet/s and the environment that usually eliminate the allergy symptoms. The products are safe for you and your pet. The other nice thing is that the whole solution costs less than $30!
1. Allerpet/C for cats or Allerpet/D for dogs. This stuff is amazing! The bottle says you should put it on a wash cloth but I put it in a spray bottle. I have used it on my cats for years. I hold my cat still, usually while he is sitting on something by firmly but gently holding the scruff of the neck. Lightly spray the whole cat including the belly and legs and then just run my hands over the cat to evenly distribute. The cat is damp not soaked. They groom right away but it does not matter. This will keep you allergy free for about a week- so just do it once a week. This will work on dogs too.
2. Ecology Works pet allergy Shampoo. This works great if you bathe your cat or dog. You can use it weekly and not use Allerpet C or D or use the above products in between washings.
2. Anti-Allergen spray. Another amazing product! You spray this on upholstered furniture, curtains, carpets and it will neutralize any allergens.
If you use each of these products once a week you may not need any other help. If you are still having issues a HEPA vacuum cleaner and/or air purifier will help too.
