Dog and cat allergies: how to reduce allergens with Vetriderm?

Dog and cat allergy affects many households. Yet it doesn't always prevent living with a pet.

Contrary to popular belief, it isn't just fur that causes an allergy. Allergic reactions mainly come from allergenic proteins present:

• in saliva
• in skin dander
• in urine
• on the coat

These allergens then settle in the home environment.

Vetriderm Elanco lotion acts directly on this mechanism. It helps reduce the amount of allergens present on the animal's coat. As a result, it improves comfort for sensitive people.

Why can dog and cat allergy become difficult to manage on a daily basis?

A common allergy in households with pets

Allergy to pets affects adults and children.

It can cause:

• repeated sneezing

• coughing
• mild to moderate breathing difficulty

These symptoms often appear during close contact with the animal. However, there are simple solutions to limit exposure.

They easily attach to:
