I am a new cat owner and was wondering if this product “Allerpet” is legit. It claims that if you have someone in the house that is sensitive to cats, has an allergy from them or something like that, you can spray Allerpet on your pet, and it neutralizes the enzymes in the saliva, which is what people are usually allergic to. This is something that even if the cat licks itself, it won’t hurt it.
