Long story - my wife developed cat allergy after we've had our cats for 4 years. Since then, I've been feeding my cats Purina Pro Plan LiveClear dry cat food for the past 6 years.

Of course, I did all kinds of things to battle the allergy, including air filters, Allersearch and Pacagen sprays, frequent cleaning, etc. So it is really difficult to tell specifically which measure that I have taken is actually effective in fighting the allergy, I just try to do everything I can. My wife's allergy comes and goes. She tries to avoid direct contact with the cats, and she is mostly fine but once in a while she will have a reaction for a few days.

Anyway, recently one of my cat developed a sensitive stomach and had soft stool. She's long haired and had poop stuck all over her backside. But even so, my wife had been fine with the cat around her.

Until I brought my cat to the vet to get treated and get a sanitary shave. Vet prescribed special food to help with digestion (Hills Science Prescription Diet Gastrointestinal Biome). My cat ate this food for 2 days, and suddenly my wife is having rashes from touching the cat, swollen eyes, running nose, the whole shebang!

Good news is that just 2 days on the prescription diet helped my cat recover, and I can put her back now on LiveClear. And now I know for sure that LiveClear really does work for the allergy.
