Louise, 19, Dog Walker

"I am looking after my new boyfriend's dog while he attends a festival this weekend.

Unfortunately, I get really itchy eyes and throat as well as sneezing a lot. I remember reacting to my kitten when I was a child for a few weeks, but I thought I had grown out of it. Unlike hayfever, which is only an issue during the spring and early summer because of the pollen, pet fur tends to be a problem all year round.

A friend of mine told me that he had suffered in the past and suggested that I try Clarityn Allergy (loratadine). It works so I am now able to walk the dog without sneezing and spluttering everywhere."
