If you love cats but find yourself itching or sneezing uncontrollably anytime you get near one, you might be allergic to them. If you would still prefer to care for a cat over other pets, you can get a cat of the Sphynx breed.
Sphynx cats are also known as hairless cats but they are still not hypoallergenic. Since they do not have fur in their body, one of the main causes that trigger an allergic reaction is already eliminated. The primary allergen in felines is a specific type of protein called Fel d 1. This protein is present in the sebaceous glands of the skin and the cat’s saliva.
Moreover, there are some steps you can take to reduce the allergens that could end up in your house. You can regularly bathe them, create a cat-free area in your home, and use air filters and purifiers. These options could help eliminate possible allergens from your cat that could trigger your allergies.
Any problem affecting your pet's skin and/or hair coat should require a visit to a vet clinic Burlington, ON.
