We got a yellow lab pup in June. I am prone to asthma and hayfever and I know for sure I am allergic to cats.
Have noticed this week that if I am in the house much my chest starts to get a bit tight and I keep coughing. First noticed last Friday so vacummed thoroughly and it was better. House was vacummed again on Monday and Wednesday and then yesterday I noticed I was feeling a bit 'chesty' again so I vacummed. Was chesty again this morning so DH vacummed while I was out at supermarket although in his words he 'just got the thick off".
Dog does seem to be moulting hugely at the moment and a friend said she has noticed same with her lab and it might be to do with weather or the fact that ours could be losing her puppy coat.
Any thoughts?
Am worried that this will get worse obv.
She was brushed last weekend and DH is brushing her now. I am about to vacuum again!
Wondering if I vacuum every day and keep her outside for most of the day I can limit it. But it gets very cold here in winter so I can't leave her outside all the time.
