PET DANDER

Pet dander is composed of microscopic flecks of dead skin cells. It’s shed by dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and other animals with fur or feathers. Pet dander is lightweight, which means it can stay airborne for long periods. It sticks to items like furniture, carpets, bedding, curtains, and other household goods. Studies have shown that dog, cat, and other pet allergens are everywhere, including in homes that have never had pets. Because many people are allergic to their pets 1 , it’s vital to test and treat your pet allergic patients with high quality extracts. 2
