The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology recommends the following for individuals with a pet allergy: limit time spent around pets; use a nasal spray, an antihistamine, or bronchodilator, as directed by your allergist; talk to your doctor about additional treatment options; avoid letting pets into your bedroom; wash your hands immediately after touching pets; bathe pets weekly; and use a high-efficiency vacuum or HEPA air filter at home to reduce allergens.
