Wish that you could buy that puppy or kitten for your family without worrying about allergic reactions?

Do you have an allergic reaction just from touching or even having your pet around?

About half of our population has a pet.  Having a pet provides security, comfort and, perhaps most importantly, they provide companionship. Children will often learn life lessons from the companionship they make with their pets.  However, an estimated 10 percent of the population may be allergic to their pets. A higher rate of 20 to 30 percent of individuals with asthma have pet allergy symptoms.

Pets can cause problems to people in several ways. Their hair, dander, or skin flakes, as well as their saliva and urine, can cause an allergic reaction. And the hair or fur can collect pollen, dust and mold and other allergens.  Believe it or not, your pets diet can affect their coat and therefore contribute to your reactions.
