Your love for your pet might be immense, but you cannot neglect the dander from them, which can cause severe problems for your health!

How pet dander can cause severe allergies

Furry pets come with their own health risks. Although, hair or fur shedding is a nuisance to clean and unpleasant to look at, it also has a slightly more sinister impact on your air quality. Pet dander is exceptionally minute pieces of skin that any pet with hair sheds along with its hair. If one is allergic to that particulate particle, the pet dander is what triggers a reaction and can cause a severe allergic reaction too.

Other than the dander, allergens such as saliva, urine, and faeces can trigger allergic reactions. The mouth of your pet is a breeding ground for most of the bacteria as they will lick everything and anything.

This makes managing your pet’s dander a crucial task in maintaining a high level of air quality. This is especially significant if you have children, who are especially susceptible to these allergens. Having children and pets in the same house would already be a task, and both being dear to you; the last thing you would want is one affecting the other.

Dander can stay in the air for a too long amount of time. With constant movement in your house, the dander can settle in your AC ducts, causing low air quality in your home. In more severe cases of allergies from dander, an individual may also develop a harsh rash or eczema in response to pet dander.

Improving Air Quality with Pets Around

The following are some tips for paw parents with furry family members to improve their indoor air quality:

This will help reduce the amount of hair shed around the house and will also serve to reduce your own cleaning time and for your AC system filters. Pet hair typically blocks the surface of AC filters and can again clog AC ducts, which can only be resolved by air duct cleaning services and ac cleaning. Regular maintenance of taking doggy to the groomer can reduce the maintenance required from your end.
Change your AC Filters Often: Pet Dander being too light can reach any place and settle there for a long time.
