My husband has SEVERE cat allergies. He couldn't be near cats without having allergy induced asthma attacks. It's so bad, that he's had to be hospitalized after sleeping at my brother in law's house after one night with their "hypoallergenic" cat. Well, we had a kitten pop up in our back yard. She decided we were her family. She was staying outside, but we didn't want her to get hurt, or in fights, by being a 100% outdoor kitty. My vet recommended Live Clear. We started our little Renni on it at eight weeks old. She's seven months old, and she sleeps in bed with my husband and me. It's like she has very minimal to zero effect on his allergies. She gives him kitty kisses and everything. He even cleans her litter box daily!
This food works better than I could ever imagine.
Of course she also gets her wet food twice daily.

That's great! What brand of wet food do u feed her?

You might want to try chemical-free litter options and just make sure it says chemical-free like pine litter or newspaper litter. I have violent allergic reactions but I learned it was the pet products causing it, not cats. This stuff that's made overseas is not tested in those factories. It's randomly tested after it arrives in the US and it's not a thorough process. Also, make sure you use scent and chemical-free pet shampoo and no pet spray stuff either

[@sagapoetic8990]

That includes if you take them to groomers. Petco has a database and can input there no perfume or scented products ie allergy-free. We voters have to demand the FDA and USDA tighten inspections -- it really is a matter for Congress then these agencies have to follow suit. I work in Washington, I understand this nonsense. Once Congress mandates, it would help. The problem is companies lobby the government NOT to enact measures and worse, they violate civil service hiring rules and fineagle to get their lobbyists and staff hired directly into government bodies that make these regulations so they do NOT regulate companies. Total conflict of interest but the voter is the one that really has to demand change. Both political parties are responsible, not just one either sorry to say

Hi @Bigmommafluffy, hoping you can provide an update how LiveClear is working for you? We got two kittens and despite getting a breed that's more hypoallergenic, we are struggling more than we expected. About how long did it take to work for you/how often were you feeding it to them? I know their site says three weeks but I would love to hear more about your experience. Thanks!

Hello@@laurenerickson9733! I hope everything worked out perfectly. Could you please let me know if the cat food worked overtime? Also, what kittens did you get? Hoping to also overcome cat allergies here... Thank you!

Thank you that was helpful ♡

[@MikuMarmalade]

Thank you for sharing this. I had briefly considered this myself as a first time cat owner. However I realized that they didn’t have any wet food options. I mix wet and dry food and though if I feed them other wet food I’d probably be negating any benefits this kibble would bring.

[@edschulhof6303]

Good video. This is another dry food with corn, wheat and rice that cats don't need. And it is expensive.

[@annikala]

If I mix this kibble with wet food, would that help? I love my baby, and I already take allergy meds, but I really need something more

[@user-ol2mk6tg6p]

My cat has allergies not me. Does this help?

[@KittyHelpDesk]

No, this won't help with your cat's allergies.
