What is animal dander?
Animal dander is not the hair or fur of a dog, but is old skin scales, which are constantly being shed. With felines, Felis domesticus allergen 1, a primary cat allergen, is a glycoprotein found in the sebaceous glands of the cat’s hair roots and in their sublingual salivary glands. It is also present in the urine of male cats. Pet birds produce a feather dust, which can cause allergic reactions. Allerpet for birds can be safely sprayed to your pet to further reduce feather dust.
