Pet Warm

Welcome Your Pet And Protect Your Allergies

Pet owners with allergies have to make special arrangements to enjoy their animals without having attacks from their allergies. These allergies can cause coughing, sneezing and runny eyes.

You will need to provide your pet with their own bed. Allowing them to sleep in your bed is asking for your allergies to be set off. Dog beds are available in sizes from extra small to the extra large dog bed. Choose the one that is appropriate for your pet. If you find a bed that has a washable cover it will allow you to keep hair and dander in your home to a minimum. Occasional washing of the bed also helps smells down to a minimum. Be sure that you wipe down the washing machine before the next load.

Pet owners need a good vacuum cleaner. The animal, a Dyson upright vacuum cleaner, is especially made for pet owners. It is effective at cleaning carpets and bare floors. It does not require any bags but effectively contains pet hair and dander in the canister until you are ready to empty it. Whatever vacuum you choose needs to have good suction and filtration so that the hair or dander is not sprayed back into the air.

Many pets sleep in the laundry room. If this room does not have a vent that is attached to your home’s central heating unit, you may need to use a Delonghi space heater to warm that room so that your pet sleeps in comfort on those long cold winter nights. Set the heater to low and place it out of the pets reach. Am added bonus is that the heater will help to prevent freezing of pipes in the laundry.

For bathing your pet, choose a handheld shower head. This will allow you to use the warm water of the bathtub to wash the pet and is very effective at removing shampoo for the pet’s hair. Your pet will be much more willing to take a winter bath in warm water and will smell much better.

Be sure that you provide your pet with their own dishes for food and water.

Ceramic dishes are somewhat heavier and less likely to turn over and spill the food or water, however they are breakable.

Stainless steel food and water dishes are very long lasting and virtually indestructible.
