I have bad allergies and somethings I do around the house helps a lot. You might want to look into one of those roomba vacuum cleaners that cleans on it's own. Nobody has time to clean 1 hour, but a machine does, so I've noticed better air quality.
And you said you don't let the pet in the kids bedroom, which is good, but a good air purification system in the bedroom would probably help a lot. We spend more time in our beds than any other place or room, since we're there almost 60 hours per day.
I would also use a larger air filter with a high merv rating, which should help as well.
Most people aren't allergic to the shedding of animals from my understanding it's the dander and saliva and I just saw some product on amazon that claims to reduce dander by 71%, which seems pretty amazing.
A friend of mine was having a lot of allergies with his dog and it was so bad he was considering getting rid of his family pet, but started to give the dog fish oil in his food and my friend swears by it that he doesn't have the bad allergies he once had.
