Aurora Belora asked:


How much should it cost to get a cat bathed? Pet Co. quoted $42-52. That sounds a bit high. But, maybe that’s because of cats’ difficult temperaments.

Does anyone know how they do it & what methods they use? I’m hoping that they can make it less stressful for the cat than if I did it myself. Not to mention being safer for me.

Does anyone know if it helps with a person who has cat allergies? We just brought my dad’s cat over to our house so we can take care of it while he is sick & unable to care for it. (It may be a few weeks or a few months.) My partner is allergic to cats. So, we’re trying to figure out what we can do to help ease his allergies other than giving him a bunch of medicine & keeping the cat out of the bedroom.

When we go to visit his mom he usually acclimates to her cats by the end of our trip. (And doesn’t need to keep taking allergy medicine every day.) I’m hoping that will happen here. But, in the meantime we’d like to minimize his reaction.

Yes I know I probably shouldn’t have a dog, BUT in my defense, I didn’t develop an allergy to dogs until about a 1 1/2 ago and I’ve had my dog for 4yrs already! I started getting a small itchy rash whenever I’d pick my dog up (or any dog for that matter), then it goes away when I wash the area. But that’s not really what bothers me, its my nasal allergies from the dog and house allergens (dust mites). I have the worst symptoms when I wake up with nasal congestion/sore throat. Claritin only works sometimes, and I can’t use nasal sprays (Fluticasone, Nasonex) because I’m allergic to those (go figure!). Also Sudafed works wonders for my nasal congestion/pressure, but I was wondering if I can develop a tolerance to that?? I’m also following all the “allergy rules” i.e., changing bed sheets once a week, replacing air filters, using those special allergy pillow covers, etc. but it doesn’t really make a difference! Help, any suggestions?!?!
P.S. Getting rid of the dog is NOT an option….

My son had allergy testing. Wheat and soy were two of the things he is allergic to. Does anyone know of a decent bread made without these ingredients? Milk, eggs, peanuts, all the usual culprits are OK. The breads I’ve tried look and taste like hockey pucks, but we make good muffins, cookies, corn bread and other alternatives. Any links or recipes would be so helpful!

K asked:


I’m intrested in getting a rotweiller dog but I am concered about the dander because my grandpa and my dad are highly allergic to dander.

If I get a HEPA air purifier, encourage the dog to stay outside during nice days, use a special shampoo, special brush, and wips for the dog that eliminate dander. Will my grandpa and dad no longer have allergies?

Thank you for your time
