What is pet dander?Updated 7 months ago

Pet dander is a mixture of skin flakes and proteins that are shed by animals with fur or feathers. It is a common allergen that can cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to it. Pet dander can be found on the fur, feathers, and skin of pets, and it can be easily inhaled or come into contact with the skin. It is a very small particle, so it can remain suspended in the air for a long time and can be easily spread from one place to another.
