Ooops, sorry -- my really religious Muslim friend told me it was because they're unsanitary and kept out of the house and that you'll lose two "hasanaat" on the day of Judgement.
But the fact that the prophet "banned" them from his own household is also a reason considering a lot of Muslims want to mimic his actions to get to heaven.
