Frequently Asked Questions

Dog dander consists of tiny flakes of skin, saliva, and urine proteins that become airborne and trigger allergic reactions. Symptoms include sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, coughing, wheezing, and asthma flare-ups. Direct contact can also cause hives or eczema outbreaks.

While some breeds shed less dander, no dog is completely hypoallergenic. Breeds like poodles and schnauzers produce fewer allergens, but allergy sufferers may still react. Regular grooming, air purifiers, and restricting dogs from bedrooms can help reduce exposure.

Antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, allergy shots (immunotherapy), and asthma medications can help control symptoms. Washing hands after petting dogs and using HEPA filters also reduce allergen levels indoors.
