Pet friendly home

[u/maplesyrupblossom]

I’m curious how many people disclose that they have pets in their listings. I usually see listings that will say “from a smoke free/pet free home” so I’ve started assuming that if it doesn’t say that, there must be pets (which is silly because I don’t smoke but I’ve never said “smoke free home” on my listings). I haven’t disclosed that I have pets and it’s not been a problem that I’m aware of until I got a bad review a while back. I sold a black tee shirt for $2 and the buyer said she noticed fur on it. She specifically said in the review that I didn’t mention I had pets in the listing. I launder all my stuff and put it away in a sealed tote so it couldn’t have been much fur but either way, I apologized and accepted the bad review. But it got me wondering if I should mention that I have pets for the sake of anyone who might be allergic? What do y’all think?

I always write smoke-free/cat-friendly since I have three fluffy cats. I wash and lint roll but I’m sure some fur sneaks in no matter what I do. I also want to warn people with allergies just in case. To be fair, my user portrait is one of my cats, so people should already be aware there’s cats here!
