Because your immune system has mistakenly set that particular part of your life off as something dangerous, you will suffer with allergy symptoms with any exposure to the allergen.

But if you feel those uncomfortable symptoms of a pet allergy come on each time your sweet cat or dog comes near, your love of your pet can turn to aversion very fast. The symptoms of a pet allergy might range from simple watery eyes and sneezing to more advanced problems like trouble breathing and a serious allergy rash.

And because a family pet is loving, accepting and trusts you completely, it is a wonderful relationship that is simple and yet it touches us in a deep place in our hearts.
Coming home to a happy pet can turn around a terrible day. Let's face it, sometimes the world can treat you badly and you come home feeling beat up. But when you walk in the door and see that happy face that is always thrilled to see you, a lot of that hostility the world threw at you just evaporates. Even if your pet is sleeping peacefully, just watching him generates an inner calm and peace that is healing. Small wonder doctors often prescribe some time with a pet to help people who are suffering with emotional or mental disorders or to speed healing for people recovering from illnesses or injuries.
While it is often impossible to have all of the joys of pet ownership when you are fighting pet allergies, some of that joy is still available. It just takes some creative thinking. One way to have the beauty and peace that comes from being in the presence of pets is to keep paintings of them on your walls, photos of former family pets on your desk or garden statues on the porch or in the garden that serve to give you that joy of having them around without the misery of pet allergy symptoms.

And because there is such a variety of such artwork available, you can keep any kind of pet dog or cat without concern for their care and health and without concern how they will set off your pet allergy symptoms. Using figurines to give you a pet without those pet allergy problems means you can have your pet dog or cat on your nightstand or many varieties of pets lining your bookshelf. You get much of the fun and tranquility that having animals nearby can add to your life. But you are not constantly suffering with the sneezing, the itching and the other symptoms that make pet allergies so maddening.
You can also find larger statues of pets to use outdoors that bring personality and fun to your garden or to a deck area where the family will gather. You may be surprised how easy it is to see these calm and unmoving pets as real personalities in your life. If you have the urge to give them names and talk to the, go ahead.
That communication will give you companionship that is almost as good as you would have if the dog or cat you enjoy were the kind that moves around and demands food on a regular basis. But your artwork pets are safe for you to own because they will never be the cause of the misery of a pet allergy. That is a very good reason to give serious consideration to this unusual way to still have the beauty of animals in the house without the pet allergy problems that too often have made you feel so awful.
