The cause of pet allergies is not the pets fur but the proteins secreted in its saliva and oil glands that it sheds as dead skin cells- called dander. These same allergy-producing proteins are also in animal urine and feces. Dander is so small that it becomes airborne and finds its way into sensitive noses and airways.
Nearly half of all US households have 1 or more pets. While dogs, rabbits, birds, and other pets are a common cause of allergic reactions, cats are the most allergenic, or allergy-causing pet. An average of roughly 28% of the homes in the US have at least 1 cat.
