Having a Pet Dander allergy is very common and it can make some people very sick. If you are someone who has severe symptoms chances are you probably don't have any family pets, to some you may have only minor allergies related to Pet Dander or none at all and choose to deal with it simply because you love your little Pug and your big Golden Retriever...guilty as charged. There are some steps you can take that can improve the indoor air quality in your home and reduce the amount of Pet Dander dancing around your home.
