Earth's Balance Dander Free -- anyone tried it?

I was wondering if anyone has tried this: Earth's Balance Dander Free

The FH has fairly severe allergies to dogs, and while he has little to no reaction to Misha, I thought this might be something to try. I believe that he reacts most horribly to the skin and dander of dogs. By far his worst reactions have come after he interacted with a demodex dog. For the most part Misha has a decent coat, and isn't too itchy, though he has some dander. Would it be worth it to try, do you think? Or just stick with what's working for us now?

Haven't tried it. But why not just blow the dander off daily? I do that with the boy dogs and it works really well. Use a Shop Vac hooked up to blow rather than vacuum.

We don't have a dryer or a shop vac at the moment. And $8 is a little less than $100+ for the time being. This stuff is also supposed to help with the saliva and stuff that gets stuck in the coat, which he also has some issue with.

Lately Baron has issues with getting saliva on his white bib and I'm thinking either the BF is feeding him too many table scraps (hence the drooling) or his chest fur is just getting longer and therefore gets in the way of his slingers. It's easily brushed out, but still..I'd never heard of this stuff
