*DOG TIP*

Many interpret their dog's licking as affectionate kisses. While licking may be an affectionate grooming behavior, often dogs will lick because of the salt that naturally occurs on human skin. Nervous dogs may lick and need to be controlled through behavior modification.

*CAT TIP*

Do you have mild allergic symptoms related to your cat? Consider not allowing your cat access to your bedroom and running an air filter at all times. This may  
significantly reduce allergic symptoms.

*BONUS TIP*

Vacuum often with a HEPA-filter vacuum, and take off your shoes at the door to minimize your pets’ exposure to toxic chemicals in house dust.
