WHAT CAN BE DONE TO DECREASE EXPOSURE TO ANIMAL DANDER ALLERGENS?
The medically best solution is the most emotionally difficult: finding a new home for the pet. Although this is a decision that only you and your family can make, the fact is that there is no other action that will as dramatically, effectively, and safely eliminate the symptoms of pet allergy. If you are able to remove the pet, you can hasten the clearing of residual pet allergen by following some of the steps noted below.

In situations where you can not or will not remove the pet, the following steps can decrease the level of exposure somewhat. Whether or not they will be sufficient to relieve symptoms will depend on the severity of the individual's allergy.
