Pets are loyal friends for life, delivering a lot of happiness and joy to their owners. However, furry animals can trigger allergy symptoms for some people, like sneezing, watery eyes, and coughing. It is still possible to take care of a pet even with allergies in a condo with these preventive strategies.
Run air purifiers
Use air purifiers to get rid of pet allergens like pet dander, hair and other types of allergens like dust and pollen. These devices are made to catch these particles and are efficient in doing so, improving the air quality, circulation, and reducing allergies.
Clean furniture and your condo regularly
Have a cleaning routine for your Lyndenwoods condo. Get the right equipment, like a lint roller and vacuum, to deal with pet hair and pet dander. Mop your floors and pay extra attention to cleaning the places where your dog stays often, because those places will have the most hair and dander.
Invest in non-upholstered furniture
You can reduce your allergies by investing in non-upholstered furniture for your home. Having these kinds of furniture is encouraged, since it has less fabric and has a more solid base to reduce pet dander and fur from sticking to your furniture, thus making the allergies less severe.
Brush your pet frequently
Grooming your fur baby regularly is important for their health and yours too, especially if you have allergies. If not groomed regularly, your pet can shed lots of fur and pet dander. You can opt to go to a groomer or do it yourself, like clipping their nails, giving them a bath, or cutting some of their fur if it is too long.
Take medications
Take anti-allergies to deal with the symptoms you get from pet allergies. A common anti-allergy medicine is antihistamine, so you can keep your allergies in check and properly care for your fur baby in your condo.
