People who do happen to suffer with allergies to cats, dogs or other animals may be misguidedly advised to find new homes for their companions. Doctors nowadays are increasingly recognising the importance of the human-animal bond with many believing that pets help us to live longer and healthier lives.

This is especially true of the elderly and those of us who live alone as pets can often make wonderful and faithful companions.

With approximately 10 - 15% of us suffering from pet related intolerances such as eczema and asthma and almost one third of those with an allergy choosing to live in a household with their pet despite their reactions, you’d be forgiven for wanting to keep moulting to a minimum and what better way than with the ‘3 Mikki Must Haves’, a grooming range designed specifically to keep unwanted shedding at bay.

Mikki, sponsors of National Grooming Week recognize that animal hair is a common trigger for both eczema and asthma. Designed for the everyday pet owner, Mikki have developed a range of grooming products enabling people who do suffer with these conditions to continue to interact with their beloved pets.

Use the ‘3 Mikki Must Haves’ to help alleviate any unwanted animal hair before it plays havoc with either your skin or breathing. Begin your grooming regime with the Easy Clean Slicker brush used to combat any big knots or tangles your pets coat may have. Continue your routine with the Anti-Tangle Comb to ensure the coat is knot and tangle free and any excess dead hair is removed before completing your quick and easy grooming process with the brand new Mikki Moult Master. Endorsed by Groomer of the Year champion Alison Rogers, use the Mikki Moult Master to remove the loose dead undercoat to ensure a polished finish before it gets the chance to get tangled, making the whole exercise a less enduring task next time.
