Dog Allergy Causes and Symptoms

A dog allergy is an immune system reaction to proteins found in a dog’s dander, saliva and urine. While many people believe they’re allergic to dog fur, the fur itself simply collects and spreads these proteins. If you suffer any of the following symptoms, you can visit one of our centers for comprehensive allergy testing services.

Itchy, red or watery eyes.
Sneezing, runny nose or nasal congestion.
Postnasal drip and throat irritation.
Itchy skin, hives or eczema flare-ups.
Coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath.

If symptoms get worse after pet exposure, or you’re struggling to pinpoint the cause of a reaction, Dr. Mireku can help you or your child find relief with a reliable treatment plan.

Patient-Centered Dog Allergy Treatments

At TexasAllergyMD we use skin prick testing and blood testing to help diagnose dog allergies. By combining your medical history, symptoms and test results, we can provide a clear and accurate diagnosis.

After confirming a dog allergy, Dr. Mireku will recommend a comprehensive allergy treatment plan that suits the needs of each patient. Common treatment options may include allergen avoidance, allergy medication, and even desensitization procedures such as allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).

Common Questions About Dog Allergies

Can I still keep my dog if I have an allergy to my pet?

Many people with allergies can keep their dog by managing symptoms with medication and regular grooming of their pet. For some patients, immunotherapy treatment may be the best option for long-term relief.

Is it possible to develop a dog allergy as an adult?

Individuals can develop dog allergies during adulthood, though it’s more common in young children as their immune systems are still developing. Developing a dog allergy later in life is usually caused by changes in the immune system or prolonged exposure to dogs.

How can I reduce dog allergens in my home?

Reducing dog allergens in the home is possible by regularly bathing and brushing your dog, using air purifiers, and frequently cleaning certain areas to remove dander. Many people also benefit from keeping dogs out of bedrooms and off the furniture, using washable couch protectors and so on.
