Face it, pets and allergies can go hand and hand. But there are ways to have pets even if you have allergies to animals. You're going to have to be proactive and change some of your habits, but it'll be worth it to have that sweet little guy or girl looking up at you every day.

First we need to talk medications. You know there are allergy medicines out there like
Claritin, Clarinex, Allegra, and Zyrtec that you can take. Of course there's also the dreaded allergy shot, which really works if you're brave enough and have the time.

Then there's the HEPA filters. Use an air cleaner and a vacuum cleaner in your house both with HEPA filters. There are other ways to eliminate pet dander too like buying special sheets and pillow cases that repel pet dander. Shampoo your furniture often and dust with a washcloth.

Sound like a lot of work? How about trying to avoid pet dander altogether. One way you can avoid pet dander in your house, when you have pets, is to try a product called Allerpet. They have it both for dogs and
for cats. You can buy Allerpet at them same place you buy your other pet products and medications such as Sentinel.
