Keeping Your Dog’s Shedding Under Control: Managing Dog Allergies

 


If there is a member of your family that is allergic to dogs, one ideal way of managing the symptoms of the allergies but still allowing you to keep your pet dog inside the home would be to ensure that your pet sheds minimally.  Allergic reactions are a form of the body’s immune response system that get triggered by certain substances, inducing symptoms like runny noses, coughing, sneezing, and/or puffy eyes. 

In addition to selecting a pet dog that does not shed as much, other ways for allergy control are to let your pet dog spend some time outdoors, keeping him off your couch, discouraging him from licking people, minimizing human to dog contact, and cleaning/dusting frequently. 

Your pet’s shedding is not something that should dominate your life.  Looking after your pet’s hair coat and establishing regular cleaning routines can help with shedding management and keep your home smelling and looking fresh too. 

Any skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should warrant an appointment with your vet clinic New Orleans, LA
