AllergyBestBuys – Helping Pets With Allergies
According to the British Allergy Foundation, approximately one in four of the UK population will suffer from an allergy at some point in their lives. However, it isn’t just us humans that suffer from allergies to mites, foods or pollen. Our loveable animal companions can also suffer from the problem of allergies and now AllergyBestBuys, the online suppliers of asthma products and eczema treatment, can offer a range of solutions to help pets suffering with allergies.
An allergy is a reaction through contact, ingestion or inhalation of an allergen, such as pollens, insects or foods. If an animal is repeatedly exposed to an allergen the resistance of its immune system will weaken, often resulting in poor health. This can be true of many household pets including dogs, cats and horses and there are various ways in which pets can suffer from such allergies.
Janet Rhodes of AllergyBestBuys who specialise in allergy remedies and hayfever products, said, “Pets, like humans, can react to dust mite allergens by developing asthma or skin problems. Symptoms can range from itching, poor coat texture or length, to hot spots and self mutilation. Dogs can also suffer from flea allergy which is a reaction to proteins in the saliva of the flea. This manifests itself as inflamed skin and severe itching and a single bite can cause a reaction for up to a week.”
To help alleviate these symptoms in our pets, AllergyBestBuys now offers specialist anti-allergy pet bedding. Using the same technology as in the pillows and duvets for humans the bedding prevents the development of dust mites, fungi, fleas and bacteria which makes a safe, protective bed for your pet. The generous sized bedding can be cut down to fit in your pet’s bed or basket and it protects against canine and feline asthma, irritated skin, infections and ringworm. It is also widely recommended by vets and carries the British Allergy Foundation's Seal of Approval
AllergyBestBuys also offer a dechlorinating shower head which is a totally natural and environmentally safe way to remove chlorine from your shower water. It is recommended for any pets with sensitive skin, eczema, asthma or chemical sensitivity.
Mrs Rhodes, from the company who specialise in products to help those with a dust allergy or dairy allergy added, “As well as providing a wide range of products to help people cope with their allergies we are aware that pets can often suffer the same symptoms. With our range of products suitable for our four legged friends we can now also make their allergies easier to deal with.”
