Dog Allergy

Dog allergy refers to an allergic reaction that some people have to proteins found in a dog's skin cells, urine, or saliva. When a person with a dog allergy comes into contact with these allergens, their immune system overreacts, leading to symptoms like sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, or skin rashes. These reactions can occur after direct contact with a dog or even from being in spaces where dogs have been. Managing a dog allergy often involves reducing exposure to dogs, using air purifiers, or taking allergy medications as recommended by a healthcare professional.
