Dog breeds that renew their skin often unfortunately are also some of the more popular dogs. These dogs may however be okay as puppies because puppies do not produce much dead skin or dander but unfortunately as they grow they begin to bother those who have dog allergies.

If you have a dog and you or someone in the house is suffering from dog allergies there may be something that can be done to reduce dog allergy symptoms before you consider removing the dog from the home.

-Use a air filter to help clean the air and make sure filters are maintained in the air filter, air conditioner and furnace.

-Keep Pets Outside, this is not really a option for many dog lovers.

-If pets are indoors, keep them off furniture and beds. You want to keep certain areas of the house dog free.

-On days when pollen levels are high shorten the length of time dogs are outside as they carry pollen in with them and allergies are cumulative.
