5 tips for reducing the allergen content in your home and on your pet
  1. Wipe your dog or cat down with a clean damp towel when they return from outside. Focus on the face, nose and ears, all 4 legs and paws and the underbelly.
  2. Wash their bedding once a week. Wash in water at least 140°F with one rinse.
