Many people think animal allergies are caused by the fur or feathers of their pet.
Although an animal may be out of sight, their allergens are not. This is because pet allergens are carried on very small particles. As a result pet allergens can remain circulating in the air and remain on carpets and furniture for weeks and months after a pet is gone. Preventive Strategies Remove pets from your home if possible. If pet removal is not possible, keep them out of bedrooms and confined to areas without carpets or upholstered furniture.
