We often associate allergies with pollen, weed and grass. But most allergy sufferers are allergic to all kinds of allergens, including pets. People who are allergic to pets should know that there are methods to combat pet dander and allergens. Do dogs and cats with less hair mean that it would be better for sufferers? Not necessarily. The pet protein found in saliva, dander and even urine, could travel through the air just like other allergens. In fact, the protein particles can land anywhere that can cause a reaction like pollen. Pet saliva, urine and dander can be found on almost any pet. How much hair on a pet has no bearing on the allergies.
