Many pet owners do not know that grooming actually helps to reduce issues with allergies.

Dogs and cats carry allergens within their fur on a day-to-day basis. Even shorthaired and hypoallergenic pets can carry allergens and shed them throughout your home.

Dander, dust and pollen are common allergens that can trigger reactions.

Through these precautions and extra measures, we hope to help you reduce the number of allergens on your pet, in your home, and on your person.

Regular Haircuts

Long hair is a hotbed for dander, saliva, dust and pollen. Having a consistent haircut routine will lessen the quantity of these various allergens on your pet.

Daily Brushing

If you brush your pet daily, the allergens will be freed from their fur. It is best to brush your pet outside and to wear a mask if you are allergic to your pet.

Invest in an Air-Purifier

Purchasing an air-purifier for your home helps remove dander and dust from the air.

Avoid Carpeting your Home

Carpets trap allergens and are unable to be wiped clean like tile, wood and linoleum can.

Create Pet-Free Zones

Having a few pet-free zones in your home will reduce your exposure to your pet’s allergens. It also gives a place for those with severe allergies to sit if they are visiting your home.

Baths

There are many pet shampoos on the market that can help rid your dog or cat from various allergens. Make sure to pick the shampoo that is right for your dog’s fur and skin type because dry or irritated skin can lead to excessive dander shedding.

Booking an appointment with us is another great way to get the job done without ever needing to come into contact with your pet’s allergens.
