PET ALLERGY AND AIR QUALITY by Mike Djordjevich (USA)

In this day and age when pets are omnipresent and became family members there are issues raised which older generations did not have to contend with.

Air quality is one of the. It has become an important consideration for many pet owners. This is especially true when someone in the household suffers from pet allergies. Pet dander allergies in particular leave some people feeling like they have no other option than to either suffer through their allergies or remove their pets from the home. Fortunately, this isn’t always necessary as there are several ways for pet owners to improve the quality of their home’s air, while still enjoying the company of their pets.

One of the most effective ways to improve indoor air quality without having to give up your pets is to install an air filtration system. A high-efficiency system that is designed to capture airborne particulates (like pet dander) is highly recommended, but any air filtration system should help to alleviate mild to moderate pet allergy symptoms.

Regularly scheduled pet baths can also help to reduce the amount of dander in the air, especially when coupled with a special anti-dander pet shampoo. These special shampoos will remove any dander that is currently present on your pet’s coat and skin, while moisturizing their skin to prevent any additional dander from reappearing.

Keeping any pets away from designated sleeping areas can also be helpful as pet allergies tend to flare up in the evening and overnight. It is also a good idea to regularly wash any bedding, even in areas where pets aren’t permitted, as pet dander can easily latch onto clothing and travel into pet-free areas.

Some of the recommendations contained herein may force you to alter the everyday routine and habits. However, if you implement them, you get to keep the pet. Isn’t that better than not having one at all?
