Do hypoallergic pets exist?

Today's article is completely based on an article by Butt, Rashid and Lockey (in Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2012; 108: 74-6) titled "Do hypoallergenic cats and dogs exist?" The Allergy Dude gets asked about this frequently and he apologizes for not having an posting about this until now.  (No summary is available on PubMed.)  Their article reviewed the scientific evidence available about hypoallergenic dogs and cats.  First, why is this important?  17% of cat owners and 5% of dog owners are sensitized to their pets' dander.  We recognize that cat dander is generally more likely to cause allergies than dog dander.  Daily exposure to dander can significantly contribute to an increase in a patients' signs and symptoms of allergies both perennially and seasonally.  The vast majority of pet owners keep their pets despite being advised by their allergists to keep the pets outside of the house.  Many let the animals sleep in the bedroom.  Pet owners ask about available measures to reduce the accumulation of dander in the house.  No measures for bathing pets, or house cleaning, even using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, or having multiple HEPA air filtration devices can remove all of the dander shed by their pets.  The amounts of dander can be reduced.  My analogy is it's like walking up an endless sand dune.  It's hard to get ahead and it's a good bit of constant work in our already-too-busy lives.  Back to the article, despite the claims and endorsements on some companies website, multiple allergy associations have concluded that no evidence for hypoallergenic exists. The Allergy Dude completely agrees with this conclusion.  Sorry pet owners.  If this changes, as in incontrovertible evidence does become available, after The Allergy Dude invests heavily in said company then he will update this blog.

I learned he should have half his tank filled with water. I got everyone involved to help figure out how much half would be. We used unifix cubes and two made equal groups to determine half. We also got reptile serving tongs so I'm not dangling earth worms over a popsicle stick to feed him. Buy now

This is a really good article! I am allergic to both cats and dogs, but I love pets and really want to get one. I can't imagine a future without a cat or a dog. Some hypoallergenic pets are expensive, but I think it will be worth it.

As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from asthma , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My husband suffered asthma and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the herbal cure to asthma . I never imagined asthma has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. asthma has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098765@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my story

Asthma is a chronic health condition that affects the airways and lungs. It occurs when the airways and passages in the lung are inflamed and swollen, making it difficult for air to pass through them. The airways produce a thick mucus, which also blocks the passage of oxygen. This inflammation and mucus secretion can worsen because of triggers, such as allergies or exposure to pollutants and irritants. This causes the airways to constrict even more, resulting in symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Together, all of these things make it difficult to breathe. For some people, these symptoms appear especially during exercise, when an additional strain is placed on the lungs to get enough oxygen. For others, symptoms of asthma only appear during exercise, a condition known as exercise-induced asthma. Other types of asthma include allergic asthma and occupational asthma. Asthma most commonly appears during childhood and last into adulthood, though it can also appear for the first time in adults over the age of twenty. Asthma tends to run in families—children with one or two parents who have asthma are more likely to develop asthma. Asthma is also closely linked to allergies. In many cases, allergies are triggers of asthma symptoms. Most people who suffer from asthma also suffer from allergies. I found out that there is a product to cure asthma which i use for my son, he is now living a better life. thanks to Dr ewoig. Though asthma has cure. for more informant email him on Drewoig18@gmail.com

With the new herbal mix medicine I purchased from Dr James herbal mix medicine, was my only way to get rid of my Alzheimer's, the herbal mix medicine effectively reversed my condition and alleviate all symptoms. I was initially very hesitant to discuss my Alzheimer but I just hope it can still help someone. I feel this will be very important information for all Alzheimer patients, because the most violent element in society today is ignorance. Be it any condition, a healthy diet and natural herbs and roots medicine from Dr. James is the road to fast recovery. I had suffered Alzheimer for many years, I fought for proper medical recommendation, care and all form of humane treatment with little improvement I went through many sleepless nights and periods of intense grief, as do most families. I was recommended by a friend to use Dr. James herbal mix medicine for my Alzheimer with high hope and assurance. I never doubted my friend but to contact Dr. James. And purchased His herbal mix medicine which was effective and I finally feel my Alzheimer is gone with no more symptoms.
