Causes behind the problem
Anything but fetching, Pet Dander is made up of bits of skin, hair and saliva. Lightweight and sticky, Pet Dander can stay airborne for hours and settle on surfaces.
Health effects
The most common reactions to Pet Dander include swelling and itching of the eyes and nose. But many airborne particles are also small enough to get into the lungs. This can cause severe breathing problems—coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

How Lennox can help

He's hairy. He's itchy. He's Pet Dander. And, if not dealt with properly, he can become an irritating pest for you and your family—especially those who suffer from respiratory problems like allergies or asthma.
