I am allergic to my dog. Is there anything I can do to lessen the allergens?

He is a golden retriever. I have a pit bull but her hair is short so she isn't the problem. I amhaving real trouble breathing and tightness in the chest. I don't believe in putting the dog outside all day, that's just not fair. What can I do to lessen the allergens?

There are medications your doctor can prescribe you for the allergies, but other than that, there are no options other than finding the Golden a new home.



If you come to the decision of re-homing your Golden, look for a Golden Retriever rescue in your area, but if there isn't one, take her to the SPCA. Neither organizations euthanize and they have very strict adoption regulations to assure a very good home.



Good luck.

1. buy an allergen reducing shampoo for the dog



2. Get on an allergy medication



3. Brush dog frequently to reduce shedding and dander.

wow. maybe you should take clariten or benedryl. (non-drowsy) also use fabreeze~!! it works great on pet oders/hair. use lint rollers to pick up the hair, and keep your house very clean (vaccum and sweep ALOT!!).

An airpurifier, ask you doctor for meds and other ways to lessen the allergens, like wear a mask when you vacuum or whenever. Also allergen reducing shampoo for dogs, brushing your dog outside helps to get rid of shedding and dander. Good luck

My husband is allergic to my cat and to our dogs, so, I vacuum and dust daily. I also wash them weekly and brush them out every day. He doesn't complain about the chest tightness and stuffy head anymore. Seemed to help. Lots of work, but well worth it.

Febreeze also has a new allergy reducing spray that works like regular febreeze I am not sure how well it works but it is worth a try.

I have the same problem. I would get so sick, I could see the glands in my neck swollen in the mirror in the morning. My eyes would get swollen, almost shut, and I had so much fluid in my ears, one of my eardrums ruptured. I vacuum a lot with Arm'n'Hammer pet hair release powder to get up more hair. They also make a powder with allergen reducers for vacuuming. Brush the dog a lot. I used to take allergy medication (Allegra D), but then I started allergy shots (I'm pretty allergic to a lot of things) and now I don't take the medicine except in the Spring (only for about a week), the rest of the time, I just keep up with my allergy shots (after a while, it's once every 3 to 4 weeks, it takes about 45 minutes at the doc, though, but at least I'm not taking a pill every day). If you go do a doctor (and you probably should to get medicine that is better than the otc stuff) go to an allergist, not a general practitioner.

They make shampoos for the dog. You will have to wash him pretty frequently, but it is worth it. They also have medication out for pet allergies. I have a friend who uses them and is as happy as can be.
