Cat Allergy Solutions

Austin Pet Machine Air Purifiers

Do you have a cat allergy? Some of the people here do too. We put together this excellent guide to cat allergies so you can keep your cats and reduce or eliminate your allergic reactions. Did you know that what causes a cat allergy sufferer to itch, sneeze and swell up is not because of the cat’s hair? It's actually caused by a protein present in the dander and saliva of cats. We obviously can't reengineer cats to stop producing the allergy causing proteins so instead, we can remove it from our dwellings proactively. To keep your cats and help yourself win your battle with cat allergies, see our recommendations below.
