How much would bathing a cat help my allergies?
If you must bathe your cat, try a moisturizing pet shampoo, so you don’t dry their skin out. One bath a month should do the trick. You could get your cat some skin and coat vitamins that reduce dry skin, and should help keep the dander at a minimum, when used along with a product called Allerpet. I have used it, and it works really well. Here’s the description: This product was developed especially for people who are allergic to their pets. Allerpet is an easy-to-use grooming emollient that reduces the amount of allergens on an animal to tolerable levels for up to a week. Applied weekly, Allerpet cleanses the animal of allergens for up to seven days. Remoisturizes and reconditions dull,dry coats; dander; and flaky, scaling skin.
