Whether you already have a pet or are thinking about owning one, these tips help pet owners fight off their allergies!
-Make sure you keep your pet out of your bedroom, most importantly off of your bed. The last thing you want is to be kept up at night due to fur that your pup must have left behind in your bed during his afternoon nap.
-Bathing your pet frequently is an essential part of keeping allergies to a minimum. Try giving your pet a bath once a week to eliminate build up of any dander on their skin and fur.
-Just as it is important to bathe your pet, it is also important to frequently wash your hands to eliminate the remains of any allergens.
-Wash your pet’s bedding once a week; remember they appreciate a clean bed too! This will get rid of any allergen build up as well.
-In more severe allergy cases you can also remove your carpet and opt for tile or wood floors instead. These are easier to keep clean and allergens will have to find a new place to hide.
