Minimize Pet Dander Symptoms---5 Ways To Reduce Allergy Symptoms

If you love your pet but are allergic to their
dander, you're in a tough spot. But before you
think about finding another home for it, try
these 5 things. Hopefully, they will help you
love your pet and lose some of the dander.

Since all warm-blooded animals shed dander, it
doesn't matter if you love a dog, cat,bird, or
ferret, they all have the potential to trigger
symptoms. So if you know you have allergies fish
make nice pets without the dander. But if you've
already fallen in love with something other than
fish, here are 5 ways to minimize the symptoms
your pet causes.

Keep Cleaning---Pets give a lot of love, and in
return those of us who love them unconditionally
know that there will be more clean up involved.

You will know how often you need to clean based
on how much dust your friend creates. Remember to
avoid dry cleaning (dusting, sweeping) and opt
for cleaning with water.

Remember to wash pet bedding as dust mites will
eat pet dander too. Wash any area rugs weekly.
Use window coverings that can we washed or wiped
down to keep particulates from accumulating.

Limit piles because they create extra surface
area where dust can and will settle. Keep
knick-knacks to a minimum for the same reason.
Reducing these 2 things alone will cut down
greatly on what you have to clean each week.

Keep The Numbers Low---Don't let a big heart get
you in over your head.. So the temptation is to
save every pooch with big eyes. Ultimately that
is not the best thing for either of you.

Too many animals often equals too much dander as
well. This will eventually make it hard for you
to breathe, often forcing the owner to place pets
in a new home or a shelter. And that's hard on
everyone. You can't explain your decision to your
pet. Less is actually better.

Consider Baths---Always check with the
veterinarian before implementing a bath regimen.
However, this can often drastically reduce the
amount of hair, dander, dust, and/or feathers
that is available for your pet to send into the
air.

Use Allergy-Friendly Furnishings---What's this
you are probably wondering? It's using furniture
and accessories that allow particles to fall to
the floor. Smooth surfaces rather than woven are
best.

Opt for furniture that is not upholstered
(fabric). Woven material hold particles and are
difficult to clean thoroughly. Normal use will
send particles into the air, and fabrics
generally cannot be cleaned easily or cheaply.

Flooring choices include area rugs, linoleum,
tile, slate and other non-porous surfaces. Avoid
wall-to-wall carpet because it is hard to clean
thoroughly, and in between cleanings it allows a
tremendous number of particulates and odors to
accumulate.

The slightest amount of movement on the carpet
will cause the particles to go airborne and
available for you to inhale. This produces a
catch-22 situation that can cause allergy
symptoms to be annoying and on-going.

Filter The Air----Regardless of how careful you
are, and how many steps you take to minimize the
allergens generated by pets and other normal
indoor activities, you will still have more than
you want in your air.

The most reliable way to eliminate them
consistently and effectively is to use
multiple-sized filters to eliminate them from the
air. Pre-filters are effective yet inexpensive
ways to remove visible particulates.

The high efficiency particle arresting or HEPA
filter is an excellent fit for microscopic
particles like dander, mold and mildew spores,
and dust mites. Designed to eliminate 99,997 out
of every 10,000 particles that are .3 microns or
larger, it is the best filter for the job.

Not only is this type of filtration effective it
is also safe producing only fresh air as a
by-product. Avoid those units that produce any
amount of ozone or ionized particles. Experts
can't seem to agree about if and how much is safe
for living things.
