- I use Allerpet. I have three cats that I am quite allergic to and
- also very attached to. We have a weekly ritual which I call either
- cat-cleaning or cat-torture :-). Once a week each kitty is rubbed
- down with a cloth dampened with allerpet. I also take this opportunity
- to give them each a good brushing and trim their claws. They love
- the brushing, impatiently tolerate the cleaning with allerpet, and
- hate the claw trimming! Although one of my cats purrs throughout the
- entire process.
-
- Allerpet really does reduce my discomfort if I use it once a week.
- When I let it slide my nose knows! It is a pain in the neck but worth
- it, to me.
