Key Features
Some animals such as dogs shed more hair at certain times of the year - spring and winter being the peak moulting seasons. But at all times, their hair is in the process of growing, dying and falling.
Once pet hairs have settled on the floor, they are easily trodden into carpets - in rooms and on stairs. They can be hard to remove. Suction alone isn't enough, a rotating brush bar is needed to agitate the carpet pile and dislodge them. And special tools such as a Mini turbine head are required to clean upholstery and car interiors.
Pet hair also carries substances that can trigger allergic reactions - sneezing, itching, a runny nose. And it gets transferred from upholstery to clothing, spreading even further around the home.
Pets can cause allergic reactions
When a person has an allergy to pets, it's not generally pet hair itself that's the cause. It's the allergens the hair contains. Pet hairs can contain an allergen that is secreted by the animal's sebaceous glands and passed to the fur during grooming. The flakes of dried skin known as dander can also be a problem.
Cats
Cats produce a number of different allergens. The most common are proteins that are secreted from the animal's glands and transferred to hair and dander during grooming. They stick to clothing and upholstery. They can also become airborne and trigger allergic reactions when inhaled.
Dogs
The main allergen produced by dogs is found in the saliva. It clings to the animal's hair and is spread around the home through moulting. Dogs also spread dander when they scratch themselves - something they do more regularly than cats.
Symptoms of pet allergies
When someone with allergies comes into contact with pet allergens, a number of reactions can occur. These include:
Eyes, Itchy, watery, sore, Nose, Itching, running, sneezing, sinus inflammation, Throat, Coughing, soreness, Lungs, Wheezing, shortness of breath, Skin and
