Obviously there’s no guarantee you won’t react to these animals if you have allergic tendencies, but here are five ‘hypoallergenic’ dog and cat breeds that people tend have less of a problem with:

Cats: Sphynx, Cornish Rex, Russian Blue, Balinese and Siberian

Dogs: American Hairless Terrier, Bedlington Terrier, Coton du Tulear, Schnauzer and Basenji

 

Homeopathy for pet allergies

Homeopathy is a natural, non-toxic way to treat allergies without side effects. Clinical trials have proven its efficacy for treating allergic rhinitis, for example, and many people visit a homeopath to help with a sensitivity to pet hair or dander. One of the ways we homeopaths can help reduce your suffering is using isopathy.

Isopathy involves giving you a course of whatever you are allergic to in homeopathic potency (rather like vaccinations except without the side effects and toxic ingredients). Desensitising you to allergens like dog or cat hair can mean that you are more able to coexist with pets. We can even use your own pet’s hair so we are desensitising you to the very allergen to which you are exposed every day!

‘I’d suffered for years with an allergy to pets and every time my cat came near me my eyes streamed. After Sue’s homeopathic treatment I can now kiss the cat!’

Other allergens that isopathy can desensitise you to include:

  • pollens
  • grasses
  • dust mite
  • pesticides and insecticides
  • pharmaceutical medication
  • vaccines
