A member asked:
Hi, is there any relation between having pets (cats & dogs) and breathing problem (such as asthma) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Allergies to animal dander is a very common "trigger" for asthma. Some simplistic things you may try include, not letting your pets in your bedroom, try to use vinyl or leather furniture rather than material (dander gets inside). If you have rugs or carpeting, you may want to consider removing them.
