Hey there everyone. I was jusst thinking about the funny looks I get when I'm over at a friends and I comment about being alleric to dogs and then they go ".....don't you have a dog?" Why yes, yes I do. But this got me wondering how many of you dog owners also have them regardless of allergies, and more importantly, yourchosen remedies for the situation. Do you just deal with it, use a special shampoo or spray, vaccume very often, comb a lot, take medication or over the counter..what do you do??? Also the type of dog you have. If you have cats too, or only cats/anything with fur, the means shoudl be roughly the same so throw in your 2 cents as well!!

For me, I have a german shepard. I really make an effort to vacume like a crazy person every few days, brush her when she's sheding really bad, and we have this spray that you pat on that is specifically for allergies, and it works surprisingly well. I'll have to write down the name when I go home next so I can share with you all. Even then, I still react. Prescription allergy medications never really helped, and made me SUPER hungry. Wall-dryll seems to do the job around half of the time. I rarely use it though, just kind of quarantine myself in my room (that I never let her in), or the basement where she never really goes. Never used to react to dogs, so this is quite annoying. It makes my eyes dry and puffy, my skin itch and burn, my ears go DARK red and burn like my body from the shoulders up. It's really not pleasent. Feels like I'm on fire. These more severe reactions though, are not with my dog, but with other peoples, namely college students that never clean there houses....ugh. Way to vacume once a year (if that), and never air out the house. ::slowclap::

hahah anyways I'm intersted to hear from everyone!
