Furry friends can be a joy, and seventy percent of U.S. households have pet owners – about 100 million cats and dogs! Children and adults may become allergic to the dander, saliva, and urine, and unfortunately there are no “hypoallergenic breeds.”

However, some simple steps may help  minimize symptoms such as keeping animals out of the bedroom and carpeted/ upholstered areas, cleaning litter boxes daily, washing the animals weekly or more and using HEPA air filters to capture the floating particles.

Allergen immunotherapy, or allergy shots, modifies and “turns off” allergies, promoting tolerance and long term relief very successfully. By reviewing your unique living situation and allergies we can help design your program to find relief and regain control of your allergies.
