Pet allergy is a common thing found in many people. If you are a person who loves pets but have a problem in going near them, you know the real struggle! Dog allergy is the allergic reaction you have from the proteins of a dog’s saliva, skin cells or urine. Most of the time, your allergy is stimulated at the time when you are near a dog who sheds dead flakes of the skin.
You get instant bouts of sneezing or itching of the eyes. In extreme cases, you might even have traces of asthma. Though medications are required to keep the allergy at bay, the best remedy is to not go near dogs at all. Not only to flakes, it is possible for you to have an allergic reaction to a dog’s fur as well.
