Live With an Allergy to Animal Hair - Wash your pet weekly. This will reduce the allergen levels. Use a very mild dog or cat shampoo to prevent your pet's skin from getting too dry.
Rub pet down with distilled water daily. It helps reduce allergen levels significantly.
Use one of the allergen reduction products on the market. They are sold in pet supply stores; you can use them instead of distilled water.
Vacuum daily. Use a vacuum with a good HEPA filter. Vacuum furniture and drapes as well as the floor.
Consider removing carpeting. Smooth floors such as tile or wood are much easier to clean, and animal hair doesn't cling to these surfaces.
Allergies to animal hair are not caused by the hair itself, but by a protein present in the pet's saliva and dander. Fortunately, you have options for dealing with the allergy other than getting rid of the pet.
