My pet loving friends, maybe you can give me some advice.

10. I have a mild allergy and two things really help:

First, I use dander-reducing pet wipes at the end of the weekly grooming session.

Second, I taught Louie to love being hoovered. He now jumps up on "the hoovering chair" every morning as soon as I get the stick vac out to hoover up around his box. It's a convertible vac (stick to hand) so I just pull off the floor nozzle and hoover him.

It was difficult at first because I think he didn't like the loud roaring, but treats helped overcome that, and once he realized what it felt like to be rubbed and petted and hoovered all over, he more than cooperated.

I hoover the fur the wrong way and then pet it back the right way, and vice versa.

When that's done I wash my hands and we're good.

I still get a little sniffly when he cuddles right up to my face for long periods, but otherwise it's all good.

helpfully,
Bright
