An allergic reaction to dogs is one of the reasons why some people would not dare to get a dog for a pet. Signs of allergy such as sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose and fatigue are often blamed on the presence of a dog. An allergic reaction believed to be caused by dog hair would prevent a dog lover from taking a dog for a pet. Breeders wanting to maximize profits would advertise a dog to be hypoallergenic but people that have suffered from debilitating allergy attacks believed to be caused by dogs would not dare to choose a dog for a pet.
The belief that all dogs can trigger an allergic reaction will make some people avoid these loving and loyal animals. Contrary to the notion that dogs make people suffer from allergy symptoms, it is actually dog dander that causes the sneezing, watery eyes and clogged nose. Dog dander is dead skin that is continuously shed by a dog. Once shed by the dog, the dander will settle on the dog’s fur, get airborne and collect on the furniture, on the carpet and on any other surfaces. The dander will be easily transferred to the dog owner’s clothes as being considered as the baby of the family, the dog is constantly hugged and cuddled. Dander that gets airborne will settle on the wall, on the curtains and remain in the environment. A person sensitive to these allergens will start to exhibit allergic symptoms once the dander is inhaled.
Dog dander causes allergies but it should not be the reason why a person should not get a dog. Dog dander remains in the environment for a long time thus getting rid of the dog will not stop allergy attacks. A pet owner can find ways to cut down the amount of dog dander in the environment.
Good grooming will cut down the amount of dog dander in the home. Brushing the dog’s coat will remove dead hair and distribute the natural oils that prevents dry skin. Because the good condition of the skin is maintained the amount of dry skin being shed by the dog will be lessened. However be sure to brush the dog outside the home. Moisturizing shampoos used in bathing the dog will improve the condition of the skin thereby reducing dog dander.
Washable floors are recommended for people with sensitivity to dog dander. Take out and use the vacuum cleaner more often especially on the nooks and crannies of the home and clean the surrounding regularly to remove a significant amount of dog dander.
