Are you sure that it's JUST the animals that is causing his allergy symptoms? I'd would be sad to rehome your family pets and then realize later than additional environmental factors had also caused his allergy symptoms. Have you spoken to his doctor? Perhaps he/she would have some suggestions for you. | |
