Taking something before encountering the pet can\nkeep any reactions to a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMMUNOTHERAPY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a variation on allergy pills. The allergic partner receives\ntiny doses of the thing that\u2019s causing a problem; gradually, their immune\nsystem gets used to it.&nbsp; This can also\nhappen naturally by repeated exposure to the pet.&nbsp; Of course, this depends on how severe the\nallergy is, but it has been known to (frequently) happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DO THE DANDER CLEAN-UP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDander\u201d is a combination of the pet\u2019s fur and dead skin\ncells; this is what typically creates an allergic reaction.&nbsp; It tends to stick to carpets and cloth\nsurfaces (like couch cushions and sheets).&nbsp;\nWhile nothing has been developed to <em>totally<\/em>\neradicate pet dander, there are many cleansers that will significantly take\nthem out of the picture, ranging from detergents to sprays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular vacuuming with a powerful machine will also help.&nbsp; There are vacuum cleaners that are specially\ndesigned for pet owners and are extra-helpful in removing fur and dander from various\nsurfaces.&nbsp; Make cleaning\/vacuuming the\nfirst line of defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MAINTAIN A \u201cNO PET\u201d AREA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep part of your home off-limits to your pet(s). The best\noption is the bedroom. Wash the bedding frequently, vacuum floors and carpet\ndiligently.&nbsp; And keep the door closed\n(don\u2019t worry: if this is new to your pet, they\u2019ll get used to it, especially if\nthey have a nice comfy spot of their own).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take heart:&nbsp; there are\nmany stories of couples dealing with the dilemma of allergies and pets.&nbsp; They find a way to get through it. So keep\ntrying to find the solution(s) that best fit your life.&nbsp; You\u2019re certain to discover something that\nworks so that you don\u2019t have to make a terrible choice between your partner or\nyour pet.&nbsp; A happy (furry) ending <em>is<\/em> possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birkat Elyon also loves contributing to other happy moments in your relationship, by supplying everything from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/cubic-zirconia-rings\/designer-inspirations\">elegant cubic zirconia jewelry pieces <\/a>to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/bridal\/engagement-rings\">high-quality CZ engagement rings<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/bridal\/wedding-ring-sets\">wedding rings<\/a>.\u00a0 Check out what we have to offer!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve found the love of your life.\u00a0 You both have big plans for your future together.\u00a0 You get each other\u2019s jokes, like the same movies\u2026it\u2019s all perfect.\u00a0 Except that he\/she is allergic to your pet.\u00a0 Those cozy nights together in front of the TV turn into a sneeze-fest.\u00a0 They wake up in the morning, face swollen from the dog who insists on sleeping in your bedroom.\u00a0 You love your partner.\u00a0&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":192,"featured_media":2483,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,130],"tags":[195,131,196,194,119,117],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Help!
