If you or a member of your family is part of the 15% of our population allergic to pets, there are things you can do to help keep allergic reactions under control and make your home a much more comfortable place to live. Even if you do not have allergies, these tips are helpful if you have guests in your home that are allergic to animals.
* We spend from one third to one half of our time in our bedrooms. By keeping the animals out of the bedrooms at all times, we can greatly reduce the symptoms of pet allergies.
* Install a good "HEPA" air cleaner.
* Close the ducts to the bedrooms and use electric heaters.
* Clean and vacuum regularly.
* Bathe your pet weekly.
* Do not allow your pet on the furniture.
* Do not allow your pet in your car. (Or use car seat covers when your pet is in the car.)
* Brush your pet daily and use an allergy-reducing spray such as Allerpet.
* Keep your pet's skin healthy by feeding a good multivitamin and a fatty acid supplement. Encourage the pet to spend more time outdoors.
* Wash your hands after handling the pet, his toys, bed, etc.
* See your physician and discuss possible immunotherapy or medications.

who never did,
who won't any more...
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
