LIFESTYLE PETS has produced the world's first scientifically-proven  hypoallergenic cats and dogs. These pets allow some of the millions of people with feline or canine allergies to finally enjoy the love and companionship of a household pet without suffering from allergic symptoms.      Click to bookmark


Those who have a companion animal understand that the human-animal bond provides important benefits, including the positive effects on those undergoing therapy for life threatening diseases. Lifestyle Pets piloted its Pet Buddies program in California in 2008 to provide our hypoallergenic kittens at no cost to pet-allergic children under long term medical care.

At Lifestyle Pets we have already seen the benefits that our pets have brought to these children, many who dream of pet companionship but are unable to do so because they suffer from allergies and their families do not have the financial means to complete a purchase. In addition, a non-hypoallergenic pet is a major risk given that any type of allergic attack could further exacerbate the symptoms of the illness under treatment.

The ALLERCA Pet Buddies program has brought together these children and their new ALLERCA pets. With the many words of thanks we receive from these children, we know that the ALLERCA Pet Buddies program is a unique and rewarding concept.

WHO QUALIFIES?

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Candidates for the program are children under 18 years of age who are in remission from a life-threatening disease and who are in low-income families or where the families have experienced hardship due to the cost of the child's medical treatment.
