Allergens like mold spores and pollen can easily hitch a ride indoors with your pet. We all know that dogs love to roll around in the grass or cats like to hunt for mice in a field. Pets are like a 5 year old they just can’t help but get dirty. Even though they are good at grooming themselves and getting clean this usually happens in your house after you let them in.
Make sure your pet is clean before coming into the house. This can be easier said than done if your pet is crying scratching at the door to get inside. Make sure you dry any wet areas of your pet. If your a dog owner its best to get into a routine of spending 5 minutes cleaning and brushing your dog before you come inside. After your pets come in after being outside keep them off your furniture, bed and couches. Generally if you have given your dog a decent walk he is ready for a nap and a treat, so make it a practice putting that favorite bone or treat on their doggy bed so they will get in the practice of laying down there and taking a nap.
Dogs and cats that are clean are generally healthier and less prone to things like flea infestations. The best dogs for people with allergies are those that produce less dander. Well groomed pets can also help reduce allergy attacks for those with minor pet allergies. Air purifiers can also reduce pet dander. There are also sprays on the market for pet dander. Pets can be a great source of enjoyment in our lives but we need to be responsible and take proper care of them for their health and ours.
