Suggestions to Reduce Pet Allergies

Many pet owners find themselves or other relatives members allergic to their pets. This is most true with felines:a great number of people cannot handle being around felines without sneezing, wheezing, or itching. Although some will advise you to get rid of your pet, this is not usually necessary. In fact, a widely known tranquilizer may help combat your pet allergies. The tranquilizer, acepromazine, is used by plenty of veterinarians in their practices. It serves as a light sedative and works best as an adjunct to anesthesia and to keep pets quiet postoperatively. Regrettably it is also (incorrectly) used to treat various phobias such as storm phobias. It does NOT relieve anxiety in the pet by actually increases anxiety by making the pet immobile; better treatments exist for various phobias in pets.

Several years ago someone came up with the idea of trying it in a homeopathic form to treat individuals who have allergies to their pets. The acepromazine is prepared in such a way as to make it dilute. This diluted form is placed on a pet's food or more times every day. If it works, the allergic person stops having signs when in the pet's presence. Does it work? I can say a positive YES after having used it for plenty of years. Does it always work? Regrettably not. In my experience I would say that most (80%) cases in which I have prescribed it have been successfully resolved. In plenty of of these cases the pet, usually a cat, was going to be given away because the owner's allergies were so bad. When it works, it literally can save a pet's life. No knows why it works. However, since most allergies to pets occur from allergens in the pet's saliva (and to some extent the pet's skin cells and hair cells,) the homeopathic preparation must remove, reduce, or bind the allergens that cause the discomfort in the allergic owners.

For individuals who experience pet allergies, I would definitely recommend trying it on their pet's food. I have seldom seen side effects (and would not ever expect any due to the dilute homeopathic nature of the product,) and there is no aversive taste to the product.
