Golden Retrievers and Dander


If you live with a Golden Retriever who recognizes you as family, you’re the lucky one!

They are gorgeous and intelligent and have coats that are to die for.

That means lots of hair and dander.

The hair you can see---boy can you see it. It goes airborne when they shake, run to you, rub against you, or romp to fetch the ball.

The dander is invisible and often clings to those beautiful and abundant strands of hair.

It is the protein in the dander rather than the hair that cause those who are allergic so much grief. So getting rid of the hair solves two problems at once.

There are many ways to manage the dander. And the optimum word is “manage” because dander is a normal part of their growth and development, and will continue for as long as you have your pooch (which hopefully will be many years).

Bathing your dog regularly with a shampoo recommended by the vet can lessen the amount that goes airborne. Adding additional oil to food and/or to their diet in the form of capsules can also help with dry skin and the itchiness that causes scratching.

But probably the most non-invasive way to remove dander (and hair too) from the air is to filter the air continuously. Just as the process is constant, the solution needs to be constant as well.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that is specifically design to eliminate particulates such as dander, not just from your Golden, but from any warm-blooded pet. See it now at http://purerair.com/pet_dander_air_purifier.html
