5. Try using an anti-allergen detergent to wash your dog’s stuff such as dog bedding, doggie shirts, and soft dog toys
6. Cover the room’s sofas with sheets to help prevent dog dander deposits on them
7. Try spraying areas where your dogs spend their time with an anti-allergen spray

If you learn that you are allergic to dogs, it doesn’t have to mean that you must get rid of your pet. There are certain risks, but several things could be done in order to avoid all possible symptoms of allergy. For one, if the allergic person has to groom the pet, they should wear a small dust-filtering mask. Wearing gloves can also help. If you don’t have the gloves on, wash your hands immediately after to prevent the spread of allergens to the nose, eyes, and mouth. Also, try to brush your pets outside or on a hard floor.
Nutrition and allergy
There is a special nutritional strategy for every pet owner that would like to reduce the chances of developing some kind of allergy. If the pet is fed essential vitamins, nutrients, and fatty acid supplements with Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, its skin will retain moisture and reduce shedding. Poor skin health of your pet can be caused by lower-quality food or food that contains something the dog may be allergic to.
