"About six months ago, my husband developed a nasty allergy to our dog," says Kim Moore of Southport. "This was a new development and, not wanting to get rid of the beloved family pet, we've been working to minimize the dog's dander.

"When we asked Britte [Purtee, the stylist] at Dogtropolis about it, she recommended using bathing wipes and helped us choose a shampoo to use on the dog between grooming appointments. Her advice has worked great!

"The sneezing has stopped and it looks like I won't have to decide who leaves the house - the hubby or the dog!"
