pet dander

Animal skin particles

Pet dander is the microscopic flakes of skin shed by animals with fur or feathers—cats, dogs, birds, rodents.

These tiny particles become airborne and trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people: My allergies act up because of pet dander.

Dander accumulates on furniture, bedding, and clothing, making it difficult to eliminate even after a pet is removed from a home.
