Can owning a dog trigger asthma? Can pet dander cause wheezing? About 3 months after getting my dog, I started wheezing. Had asthma when I was a child and outgrew it years ago! Could the fur trigger this wheezing?

Traci replied: "Absolutely!.. Yes!.."

Hayley replied: "Absolutely it could be the dog! But it can be that we are changing seasons right now depending on where you live. You could try taking some zyrtec and see if that helps. Otherwise you might want to find out if you are allergic to dogs by getting a scratch test done bye your doctor. Good Luck!"

jambot replied: "no question it can. so can pet saliva. so can dust mites scratched up from the carpet by the dog's paws. try washing your dog with oatmeal dog shampoo. helps ease dander. plus it makes him smell like breakfast."

rlbjr22 replied: "YES and YES!!! I have personal experience in my family when my wife's kids would come home from college or work in another town, and the absolute minute they walked in, their eyes started turning red and swelling and tearing up and they began sneezing and coughing, etc.. It was at that moment, only moments after we got married, that I "laid-down-the-law" about the big dog my wife (or maybe she was still my fiance) had as a house pet. I marched that dog out doors to the back yard and said from that point on it was a totally outside dog. From then I had her carpet and sofa and chairs steam cleaned and whatever, and the next time the kids came home from school or work, they had NO symptoms whatsoever. What in the dickens took them so long to see the problem beats me, but there's no problem anymore. Please, for your own good, put your dogs outdoors on a permanent basis. Cats as well, and all those rodents people love to have as pets such as Gerbils, hampsters, guinea pigs, etc.. You need to start taking care of yourself. My wife's family loves me since I saw what was happening and took immediate steps to correct the problem. Do take care of yourself. God Bless you."

very bad allergies and asthma, how long does pet dander live in home after petr is removed ? recently we have moved to a new townhome where the previous owner had cats and dogs for years, I have very bad asthma triggered by animals. I cannot stay in this house for more than five minutes without my lungs becomming tight. my husband has ripped out all the carpets, cleaned, painted...it is still horrible, I cannot breath in there, how long can the pet dander live, it has been two months since animals have been there . The bottom floor of the home is tile, the animals had urinated and pooped everywhere, we have bleached everything, it is still no better, what can we do so that I can live in my home ?

Luca M replied: "Talk to a doctor or find a prescription allergy drug for you at The solution is not easy. I'm allergic to bleach, make sure it is not the bleach or all the products you are using to clean the house that are giving you the allergy. After 2 months all the dander from pets should have died."

Jose M R replied: "Poor Pet It' Not His Fault That You Have Asthma Or Allergies, It Is you. Your Body Is Crying For Water You Don't Drink Enough Water, Or If You Drink You Take To Much In One Shot. You Have to Drink 3 Or 4 Ounces Every Half Hour To One Hour That You Are Awake. Your Problem Is Very Simple To Solve, Drink Water."

i have asthma and allergies to pet dander..i start wheezing and can't ever go to my friends homes anymore. As a youngster i used to have cats all the time..now my eyes bulge out if i touch one and happen to touch my face or eyes..same with anyone who has a dog..they touch the dog and i get hugged or close to them and i start wheezing and my chest becomes tight. I've had my last allergist tell my my asthma and allergies are not bad..i have allergies to dust mites, roaches also. I had all kinds of inhalers and then they started giving me prednisone/steroids and everything raises my high blood pressure. don't know what to do anymore i think i will be the next woman who should live in a bubble. help, help.

the_only_solorose replied: "what kind of help are you hoping for here? you probably know more about your own issues than anyone here, this sort of thing has to be worked out with your doctors hon."

Carolynsn replied: "My husband is very allergic to cats and some friends of ours have 3 and live in a very small house. He takes a generic Claritin before we go there and has no real symptoms. Without it, we can't even stay. He still can't touch his face, but he can breathe easily. Good luck! The generic is cheap and definitely worth a try."

Aqua Andy replied: "maybe you should i think its the best thing for you. I'm sorry to tell you this. j.k you probably just need some medication to help you breathe"

glamcouturegirl replied: "you should slowly build up your immune system. visit the pets, but timely. only be with them for a little bit, or a little while before your allergies start acting up. bring a rescue inhaler wherever you go."

Noone i replied: "If its any consolation, I can relate. My weakness is smoke of any kind, but the worst is cigarette smoke. OH...and perfume or after shave, anything Polo sends me reaching for an inhaler, fast! I have a dog and I have just decided that if she is the cause of some of my problems, oh well...its better than completely living alone and besides, she makes every day brighter! :) Hang in there, I have inhalers everywhere, every vehicle, every room, I think I have one in most winter coats too."

popohead mgee replied: "well alll i can tell you if that allergys develop over time as well. also try not to wear make-up or hairspray or things like that around cats because the chemcials could mix up w/ the pollen or whatever and cause a new allergen u ar allergic to."

dajesus541 replied: "Try Clairitin (or it's much-cheaper generic equivelent). I have some mild cat allergies, but I just take one of these and I'm fine. They also don't make you loopy or drowsy or anything like some meds can."

sncmom2000 replied: "Can your allergist get you started on weekly shots to build up a resistance to those things that trigger your allergies?"

What can I do to cure my severe allergic reaction to pet dander? My boyfriends son just got a cat for his birthday and I am severly allergic with my asthma...I spend 90% of my time over there and now I can't even walk in the door. I've tried zyrtec and benadryl..I don't know what to do and not sure I can afford allergy shots. Please help me with any suggestions you might have. Thank you so much!!

Brando replied: "Well the only way that the allergic reaction is going to cease is absense of the cat. You cannot cure yourself of an allergy (oh how people wish they could). If you are allergic to something, no medicine is going to help keep you from being allergic. Your only options are to stop going over there or rid of the cat."

ragmold replied: "Tips I can tell you: Keep the pet out of the house, and in particular, out of the bedroom. Keep pets off furniture, especially upholstered furniture where animal dander can be transferred. Use a room air purifier brand, such as Taskmaster, Panasonic, Delonghi, Lightning Air or Surround Air in the bedroom to remove airborne animal dander. Always wear a 3M mask and protective gloves when grooming the pet. Bathe the pet weekly with the Allergy Relief Center pet treatment, a shampoo and conditioner, which removes pet dander. Remove clothing worn after grooming or playing with pets. Keep the clothing, now full of animal dander, out of the bedroom. Wash clothing with the Allergy Relief Center Laundry detergent in quart or gallon size or De-mite Laundry Additive. Always wash your face, hands and arms after grooming or playing with pets to remove animal dander with the Allergy Relief Center hand-dish-fresh produce detergent."

ferbie replied: "I also have asthma and am allergic to cats, yet I have 4. I take Pulmicort, Singulair and Allegra twice a day. You need to speak with your doctor to find out what his suggestions are. Also, don't hesitate to check out hemopathic recommendations (I bought some Chinese medicine for allergies for my boyfriend, who is also allergic - difference is I had my 4 cats before him). Speak to the vet. There is a solution you can buy to put on the neck of the cat that is supposed to cut down on the dander (sorry, but I don't know the name). Also, check into your boyfriend getting an air purifier for his home. This will also help - we have one in the bedroom and will be getting another for the main part of the house. The longer and more often you are around the cat (especially if it's your's), you will get used to it. Either way, always wash your hands after touching the cat, before you touch your face."

matador89 replied: "There are several different symptoms depending on whether you are diagnosed with a cat hair allergy or a cat dander allergy, a cat skin allergy or a cat flea allergy. A cat allergy is the reaction of immune system of the human body to misinterpret contact with the hair of dandruff of a cat as dangerous. Cat allergy symptoms are caused by the immune system trying to fight off the 'dangerous' substances causing hay fever-like symptoms. Cat allergy medicine is available and if you are diagnosed with a cat allergy your doctor might be able to prescribe you with the suitable treatment for you and your symptoms. Antihistamines, available in nasal sprays for allergies, do not offer permanent relief of the symptoms, but help to temporarily relieve you of unpleasant symptoms. Immunotherapy means that the person suffering from the allergy is exposed to the factors causing the allergy, such as cat dander. This procedure will only be performed with guidance from a doctor and may help a person get over their allergy symptoms. Energy Based Allergy Elimination is an alternative cat allergy remedy. An alternative doctor will hold a vial containing the allergen that the patient is sensitive to while 'adjusting' acupuncture points on the body of the patient to take the sensitivity of the patient away. It is believed that the allergy is a disturbance in the energy field of the patient' body and by adjusting the energy levels the allergy can be eliminated. The recommendations given by “Ragmold” are to be taken notice of, they help in the absence of any medication. I would add to those comments, that you would be advised to contact your doctor if you suspect that you might be suffering from a cat allergy and you're experiencing a cat allergy symptom. There is a lot that can be done, and it does not always necessarily mean that you will have to get rid of your boyfriend's son's pet. Cat allergy medicine can help you live in good health again. Hope this helps matador 89"

cooker_upper1 replied: "LOCAL honey will take care of pet dander allergies. It will work with your body to develop immunity to this as well as any other air born irritant around you. Like all herbal remedies, it will take a while to become effective but you will also notice that you get fewer cold and flu symptoms in the winter if you take a teaspoon of LOCAL honey each day. Local honey is inexpensive, has no side effects and works naturally with your body to fix your problem."

JM replied: "I use allegra d when I go to people's houses that have pets. It seems to help but I still get wheezy after a few hours. Better than after 5 minutes though. Honestly, your boyfriend is going to have to understand that you cannot spend time over there much anymore unless he gets rid of the cat. It's not fair to you. You shouldn't be expected to medicate yourself just so you can enter his house."

Has anyone had success with acupuncture for allergies/asthma? I am thinking of starting acupuncture for my environmental allergies (pet dander, pollen, dust) and asthma. Has anyone had success with this? I would to love to hear someone's personal experience with it. Thanks!

laurel g replied: "Yes. Once, while having an extremely horrible asthma attack, I managed to get into my doctor's office. He told me to go to E.R., immediately. Instead, I went to my accupuncturist, from China, and, within moments, he had me breathing with NO problems! My doctor was upset when he realized I was not in the hospital. He called me at home, and demanded that I come back in to see him, NOW, when I told him I was fine, now. My doctor was totally shocked, and said it was impossible for me to have gone from 'no breath, wheezing, struggling to get any breathing done.........to just dandy. This accupuncturist was wonderful for my asthma."

tampamonavie replied: "I see a chiropractor that uses an acupressure method, which has helped me quite a bit."

Bishara W replied: "Yes, I have used Acupuncture, with Chinese Herbs (Xin yi San) and use of a Neti Pot to get rid of my own as well as my patients allergies in a short period of time."

Annie replied: "Before trying anything, please go through this book. It is really good."

Sue replied: "Because my pony has allergies I work on him with acupressure (I'm not a vet so use of needles is prohibited), and I use similar diagnostic principles as acupuncurists. It has made a huge difference to his life and, although it hasn't cured him, he is so much happier now and willing to do things whereas three years ago, before I trained to become a practitioner for horses, he would spend the whole of the summer in his stable and damage himself badly by scratching frantically. Several vets had tried to help him but to no avail. He is a stunningly intuitive pony and learnt very quickly which acupoints he enjoyed the most. His need changes as the seasons change but his main support is through the Spleen and Stomach, Liver and Gallbladder, Bladder and Kidney meridians. He has problems coping with pollen, dust and insect bites and I make sure he always has access to a stable if the burden becomes too great, but with this management tool life has become enjoyable for the little chap again and I'm sure it will help you too. Good luck!"

pet sitting and dog giving me asthma? i have my own cat and dog, but when i added the one i am pet sitting igot bad asthma. my dog has very short hair this one has medium should i bath him? I thought this may get rid of pet dander

Becky replied: "Yes, I would bathe him to cut down on the dander. You might want to go out and get a dust mask to wear as well."

Lovely replied: "WAsh the dog and see what happens... it may just be too much dust in his fur."

lodziana14 replied: "Um no this means your unfit for pet sitting ): You can only pet sit a hypo allergenic dog. Sorry to break it to you ): But if you are in denial then here. Yes bathing the dog will get rid of some of the dander. Gl..."

Emma Lee replied: "take medicine im not a doctor"

Jessie96734 replied: "You could be reacting to the dog's dander and a bath could help. Pet dander builds up in longer fur."

Lovebug <3 replied: "yes bathe them"

lola blue replied: "Yes a bath should help and also there is bath oil for dogs that you can spray on the coat that may cut down on the dander. -L"

Memphis Belle ~ JJ 2 on 30/12/08 replied: "An allergic reaction is usually caused by canine saliva or hair dander. If it's a severe adverse reaction then just washing the dog is unlikely to alleviate the symptoms. Some people can live with short haired breeds like Dobermanns, Greyhounds & others do not have an allergic reaction to low allergy breeds like Poodles and Bedlingtons. It's a case of trial and error & if the reaction cannot easily be controlled, avoiding the particular dog or breed. Hope your asthma is okay now."

Sunflower replied: "As an asthmatic I know what it's like! - not nice at all. It sounds as if you're allergic to this particular dog if he set off an attack - if you're OK with your own dog and cat, it doesn't mean you can't have contact with any dogs ever again, just that you'll have to be careful, maybe take your inhalers before touching strange dogs. It may well be that this dog you are sitting has got different allergens in his hair to what you are used to, and this has set it off. You don't say how long this dog will be with you, or if there's anyone else who can help you with him until his owners get him back - if possible try not to touch him any more than you can help, get someone else to wash all the bedding he brought with him, as the dust in this might be worse for you than the dog himself, and to bath him for you if possible. These steps may well help you, but if you handle the bedding and the dusty dog it will make you worse. And then tell his owners you are very sorry, you liked the dog but can't look after him again."

Koyote replied: "You have become "immune" to your pets dander! By living with your pets you have built up an immunity to your asthma reaction. When this "new" dog you are pet sitting came to your place, it introduced new dander that your body doesn't recognize and BAM you had a reaction. I don't believe washing the pet will stop your reaction, but it may be worth a shot!"

shadowflare6 replied: "Well to let you know I myself have had very bad asthma for my whole life, and am very allergic to cats and dogs. Yes dander does build up more with long fur/hair but you can also buy a allergen reducing shampoo and here... Its an amazing shampoo that works perfectly just do it as you see fit i wash my dog at the once every few weeks and i have no problem playing, cuddling with my dog i highly recommend it. The price of 6.99 for the relief of allergies the perfect answer i hope this helps"

Iggy's Gang Loves Christmas replied: "Sorry,. but what your dog has done is given you an allergic reaction due to the long hair and pet dander...Dogs cannot give you asthma, it can cause it to flare up.... you can ask your doctor.... your short haired dogs have allowed you to build an immunity to them, but since you have gotten this dog, your asthma has surfaced.....' you can get some excellent shampoos that will cut down the dander and help you to breathe easier...you can also take meds yourself to help you......and youi can also get your dog groomed down and keep it that way, depends on the breed and what kind of weather you have, if very cold, you would not want to shave off all the hair,but a short clip is possible. I suffer from Bronchitus, my Min Schnauzers never bothered me at all, but when I got my Newfie, inherited earlier this year, I thought I would never stop coughing, had to use an inhaler for 2 mos....got my Newfie some really good apple/oatmeal shampoo, really cleans him so well, I use it on all my dogs now..and it really helps so much..but the pet dander will always be there.. When I said my new dog gave me Bronchitus, my Internal Med Doctor laughed and said no, he just brought it back out and it surfaced on ou again....same with Asthma, it will bring it out. I am so sorry your sick and I really hope you can get the shampoo to work and a good hair cut....ask the groomers at Pets Mart, the brand name of the apple/oatmeal shampoo they use, thats where we buy ours."

Is there a dog that doesn't provoke allergies and asthma in dander sensitive and allergic people? I love dogs and cats but have suffered from severe allergies and asthma my whole life. I am looking for a dog which won't provoke asthma and will have a calm temperment, we live in a community which won't tolerate an anxious or aggressive pet.

LVieau replied: "poodles are a good dog that people get when they are allergic to dogs. The Bichon Frise, and the Soft-coated Wheaton. I've also come across the Portuguese Water Dog, the Schnauzer, and the Chinese Crested as also being hypo-allergenic."

WonderWoman replied: "Shih Tzus. My husband is allergic to dogs and we've had our Shih Tzu for one year and my husband has had no problems. Another plus -- Shih Tzus don't shed. I researched allergy friendly dogs before we got ours and Shih Tzus are allergy friendly which weighed heavilly in my decision. I highly recommend. We got our dog from them. I believe they ship nationwide."

Shirl replied: "Im not sure but perhaps there is a spray you can use on the dogs coat to keep it at bay? it may mean that you cannot ever have a dog. Think about your health first."

Ali C replied: "Poodles should be good for you - they don' t moult apparently"

Ivy replied: "There are hairless breeds of dogs, cats and rats."

Star replied: "No since dander is the skin particles trapped in an animals coat. There are breeds that are nearly 'hypo-allergenic' and the most famous 2 are poodles and chinese cresteds. I am allergic to my dog, but as long as I bathe him, or have him bathed once a week (with a mild shampoo of course) I am fine, no hives, no asthma attacks."

Sarah N replied: "I agree with the first response. Poodles don't shed their hair and are therefore often ideal pets for those who suffer from allergies. - Guide dogs for the blind used labrador and poodle crossbreeds for this purpose - called them Labradoodles! - don't know how successfull they were though"

Cynthia B replied: "Hairless Chihuahua?"

kutingtingting replied: "Bichon Frise. My sister has had asthma and severe allergies all her life and did her research prior to choosing this breed to accomodate her health problems while providing a companion for her kids. Everything seems to be working well, they have had thier Bichon for years. I myself noticed that when I hug her dog, he doesn't even shed! So consider this breed, and good luck to you! The happiness a pet brings is truly beyond measure, and you don't have to be deprived of it!"

jellibean_72 replied: "Try a tea-cup poodle."

darkhorse replied: "there is a breed called chinese crested that are virtualy hairless (I think they look horrible, but some people love them)"

hargreas replied: "Hi, my daughter has asthma and other severe allergies, she had reacted to several types of dogs she had come into contact with. My mum wanted to buy a dog but as we spend a lot of time at her house, we needed it to be as non-allergic as possible and also calm and friendly with the children whilst being a loving companion for my mum. When we looked into it we were told the best dogs were poodles, bishon frise and lhasa apsos as although no dog is totally hypoallegic, these dogs need to have their hair brushed out rather than shedding. My mum got her lhasa from a lhasa rescue and the people were happy for us to go a spend time petting the dog to see if it caused problems. She now has a poodle and a lhasa and my daughter is fine with them."

neonbabe75 replied: "I would suggest a poodle, they can be very affectionate and gentle dogs. They don't shed hair/dander therefore making them quite a good pet to fit your circumstances. I would ask your local vet or even poodle breeders for more in depth advice. Hope this helps!!!"

haggis replied: "have a word with your local vet they will help"

dawn669961 replied: "there is one. i cannot re the correct spelling of it. but its a cross between a labour and a poodle. they have been special breed for people with alleric's and asthma.not sure where you buy them. but some on a yahoo may know. good luck."

Kevin A replied: "Poodles. I was going to ask the same question about cats because I break out in a rash every time I go near my girlfriend's puss y."

Jake replied: "Hi yes there are in breeds that don't shed like poodles...however you have to take into considerasion that these breeds do need har are & this must be kept up with...you will not get dog hairs around the place...I was brought up in a kennel of 42 dogs the most of those apart from 2 where all poodles... They do have a good temprement as long as like with any other breed they are socialised from being a puppy... They are easy to train & very willing to please & affectionate... Regards Jake"

kazbag replied: "Poodles are a good dog for allergy sufferers because they don't shed their coats, they have to be clipped."

Angie68MK replied: "Poodles and schnauzers. We have two giant schnauzers - and before you commit yourself you should see if anyone living locally has any of the advised dogs (try contacting the vets or local dog training classes - and ask the owners if they mind you visit their homes - see if you suffer any symptoms - you usually find people with dogs registered at vets - or in classes will be pleased to help you this way. Dog lovers want everyone to have dogs! Good luck in your search."

margaret t replied: "siberian husky's are great i have 2 of them and they only moult twice a year they aslo do not have a doggy smell that you find with a lot of dogs"

simplyfemale_01 replied: "jackadoodle. This is a jack russell x poodle. A small easily managed dog as I have two jack russells and the poodle is a relatively docile dog. They do not cast any hair and were bred with the intention of those with allergies as they seemingly do not affect people with asthma or similar allergies. Good luck."

GitEmGang replied: "NO! NO SUCH THING as "hypo-allergenic" dogs!!!! That's a SALES-PITCH=LIE!"

ELWYN R replied: "my sister has really bad alergies against everything but has discovered through owning four of them that huskys do not agrivate her at all , they are very loving and playfull but do need alot of exercise or play time and because they are pack dogs they do get lonely so you should either spend alot of time with them or consider getting a companion for it , i hope i have helped a little"

gracie replied: "west highland terriers are good they dont shed hair so i woul recimend one of them"

How can I cut out dog dander? My sister gets bronchitis every time she stays with me. I have two Lasso Ap- so ( don't know the spelling ) They have long hair and are very cute. Her Dr says it is the dogs bringing on the asthma and bronchitis. Does any one know of anything I can do to cut down on the pet dander so she can spend time with me? Thanks Mary F

replied: "Lots and lots of grooming. Keep them off the furniture."

Laya replied: "Those dogs are very low shedders and it is the dander that is getting to your sister. Get them a short haircut and bathe them with a good shampoo. Keep them off her. And make sure your house is clean. Dog dander gets all over your furniture, rugs etc. Do an extra good cleaning for her."

CC replied: "Keep the house dusted, and keep the dogs groomed the breed is spelled Lhasa Apso"

forensics2121 replied: "if you don't mind shaving them down I would start there. Buy a couple of air purifiers recommended by the Lung Association and put them in the rooms most often occupied by your sister. Keep up with the brushing every day and bathe them once a week while she is there... that's about all you can do. The pet dander enters your furnace filters and is distributed through your home so all you can do is cut it down."

red_chey48 replied: "If she's allergic to the dogs there's not much you can do since canine dander isn't like human dandruff. The closest thing I could think of would be to super clean your house before she comes (since dog dander is the combo of hair and skin cells), but even then she'll probably still get sick. That's bites and I feel for you."

Patient Paws replied: "Lhasa Apso. Bathe your dogs, groom them properly, feed a higher quality food, vacuum daily, clean couches and pillows frequently, change air filters, install a pet-dander air cleanser for use before she comes over, etc."

Question about asthma? I've never been tested for asthma, but im almost certain I have it. I use an inhaler whenever i have really had wheezing. Anyways, I think my allergies to pet dander triggered my possible asthma. I was just wondering, if i got away from the pet dander, would the asthma like symptoms go away? Im going on vacation in a few weeks and i was hoping that since there will be no animals around, that I will not have any wheezing and such. Is this possible? really *bad* wheezing. sry for te typo well to add to your answer, I was supposed to go get a PFT (pulmonary function test) but when i got to the lab, all they did was take blood. i had told them i was supposed to be tested for asthma and all they said was "this is just a lab sheet." idiots.

sara replied: "take inhaler regularly bd ..+sos, i have asthma ...i have a cat but nw i take care ..do not took her in lap...use anti allergy also ..bd consult homoepathic ..i am taking homoepathic ..my oethr med are lessen"

Dave replied: "Ok, so you've never been tested but you've got an inhaler and apparently it relieves your wheezing. That's all the "test" you really need. Just a couple of questions.If you have an inhaler you must have gotten it from a doctor. Why aren't you asking him/her? If the pet dander is causing a reaction that threatens your life, you have to ask yourself, " is a cat or dog more important than your life?" Yeah I know it'd be hard to let go of the pet but you really have to. God bless."

Best vacuum for people with allergies/asthma? I am allergic to house dust,I have cats and need one that picks up cat hair and pet dander very well, I can't afford one of those Real expensive ones but maybe 200 would be the most i could do.Do you also know if vacuums with filters are better or ones with bags?Thank you

formerly_bob replied: "Consumers Reports did a comparison of vacuums a couple of years ago and found that the worst vacuums are the ones with the cyclones that spin air around, and that the best vacuums are generally upright models that have tight seals, and a HEPA filter in addition to a disposable bag. Cannister vacuums generally did not pick up as much dirt as even the cheapest upright vacuums, but cannisters with HEPA filters kept dirt contained in the vacuum as well as uprights. So look for an upright vacuum with HEPA filtration of 0.2 to 0.3 microns, use high quality bags with the same filter size, and change the bags when they are about 1/2 full or sooner. Here's one model that meets your price and has good specs. There's probably ones that are just as good fro a lower price if you do a little searching."

ret340 replied: "DYSON!!!! It sucks up much more than most vacuums. I have allergies and also use a roomba. It's the round robot vacuum that is self directed (no work on your part!). I run that every other day to pick up dust, etc., then run the regular vacuum about 2 times per week. If I didn't have the roomba I'd be going crazy with vacuuming constantly!"
