How To Conquer Pet Allergies

Featuring: Sweet Face Sammie

Dealing with allergies can be tough, especially if you love dogs but your immune system doesn't. Here's a mix of strategies to help you manage:

🧼 Reduce Allergen Exposure

1. Keep dogs out of certain areas – especially the bedroom.

2. Use HEPA air purifiers – they help remove pet dander from the air.

3. Vacuum often – ideally with a HEPA filter vacuum.

4. Wash dog bedding/toys regularly – keeps dander from building up.

5. Bathe and groom your dog regularly – weekly baths can reduce allergens (ask a vet for allergy-friendly shampoos).

   
   

💊 Allergy Treatments

1. Antihistamines – like Claritin, Zyrtec, or Benadryl (consult a doc).

2. Nasal corticosteroids – like Flonase or Nasonex for nasal symptoms.

3. Decongestants – short-term help for stuffiness (don’t use long-term).

4. Allergy shots (immunotherapy) – long-term solution, but takes time.

   
   

🧬 More Strategies

1. Allergen wipes – you can wipe down your dog to help reduce dander.

2. Hypoallergenic breeds – no dog is truly hypoallergenic, but breeds like poodles or schnauzers may shed less dander.

3. Change HVAC filters regularly – keeps air cleaner.

4. Hard floors > carpets – easier to clean and less likely to trap allergens.
