Absolutely, cat and dog dandruff is allergic. It persist in household curtains and walls for 6mon after avoiding at home. Asthma is allergic. Pranayama helps in improving breathing quality, but won't avoid allergic reaction and inflammation.
Take online consultation for better evaluation and management.

If you are a known asthmatic, it’s best to keep cats away as cat dander is a well known trigger for asthma. It’s best that you connect with a Pulmonologist and discuss your queries ok detail.
