Is there anything I can do to reduce pet dander?
Yes! Bathing and brushing pets frequently can reduce the amount of dander in your home. Use a quality pet shampoo and possibly conditioner that will not dry your pet’s skin. Brushing your pet daily will not only eliminate hair that will eventually shed onto carpets, furniture and clothing, but will also keep your pet’s coat healthy and tangle free.
If someone in your home is allergic to the pet, talk to your veterinarian about other options to reduce dander.
