Pet dander are microscopic, lightweight flakes from animals with fur or feathers, such as birds, cats, and dogs that not only trigger allergic reaction in some people but can easily linger in the air and stick to surfaces, including walls, for a very, very long time. Allergies are usually not triggered by the fur or feathers, but by the proteins found in the animal’s skin cells, urine and saliva.

Some of the most common symptom include, but not limited to coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness and itchy skin.
