The Pet Spa at Soap.Club, a natural pet shampoo company based out of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, identifies the specific cat breeds known to cause the fewest problems for allergy sufferers.
According to The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), up to10 million Americans are allergic to cats. A protein in a cat’s saliva (Fel D1) is the allergen that causes problems for human allergy sufferers. When a cat licks it’s coat, the allergen-laden spit dries and once airborne, transfers into the human’s nose and sinuses.
Jack Widmer; manager of The Pet Spa at Soap.Club, informs that, “All cats produce at least some allergens, so no cat type is 100% hypoallergenic. There are, however, some cat breeds that produce less of this protein than others making them far less likely to cause serious allergic reactions in pet owners.”
Several breeds of cats exist that are considered hypoallergenic. Some of the more popular of these are: The Balinese, Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Javanese, Oriental Shorthair, Siberian, and Sphynx.
“It has been proven that up to 84% of existing allergens can be reduced by bathing a cat 2 - 3 times a week. Frequent bathing also inhibits future production of allergens,” Widmer states. Many commercial pet products contain harsh chemicals, and repeated bathing with these commercial products will dry out the pet’s skin and coat. Use of a natural cat shampoo is preferred by many pet lovers to prevent dying out their companion’s skin. The Pet Spa Hypoallergenic Pet Shampoo and Conditioner is made with no artificial colours or dyes, no preservatives, and contains no harsh chemicals. “We want cat owners to be confident that they are not damaging their best friend’s skin by bathing them frequently. Our unique recipe was formuled to hydrate and nourish a cat’s dry or sensitive skin and moisturize their coat,” says Widmer.
The combination of choosing a hypoallergenic breed of cat and bathing it regularly with a natural hypoallergenic cat shampoo, can allow allergy sufferers to experience the joy of having a cat, while keeping allergic reactions to a minimum. It is recommended to visit a specific breed to gauge potential allergic reactions, and to consult with a breeder before adopting.
