so i have a dog that sheds...a lot (a sheltie, if it matters). deachoopstoy appears to be allergic to her (getting tested next week, but we're 98% confident we know how it'll turn out). giving her away is NOT an option, nor is turning her into an outdoor dog. so i need recommendations on how to make my house less miserable for him.
anybody have recommendations on any of the following:
-air filters
-vacuums that actually remove dander rather than just stirring it up
-whether or not brushing her more often will help
-effectiveness of allergy shots
-shampoos/sprays/anything else that would help
thoughts? most everything i'm finding online just says something along the lines of "get rid of them. if that's not an option, put them outside." she's already not allowed in the bedrooms, which are the only rooms in the house that are carpet. every room she's allowed in are hardwood or tile, which is helpful. but what else can i do?
