If you have pet allergies, your body creates immunoglobulin E (IgE) the first time you encounter a pet allergen. Pet allergies can affect anyone. But you’re more likely to have or develop pet allergies if your biological parents have pet allergies. You may only have IgE antibodies that are sensitive to one particular animal. Or you may have many IgE antibodies that are sensitive to many types of allergens. The antibodies find the allergens in your body and help remove them by taking them to the mast cell (allergy cell), where they attach to a special receptor that helps send and receive signals in your body. This causes the allergy cell to release histamine and other allergy mediators. Histamine is what causes your allergy symptoms. Your allergy symptoms are your immune system’s way of removing the allergens from your body.
