Unfortunately, given current technology, it’s not possible to build up an absolute immunity to dog allergies.
But immunotherapy is a long-term solution that is viable for some people to pursue.
Immunotherapy is a process where a trained medical professional gradually exposes your body to the allergy-causing protein, either by injection or by swallowing a pill.
Immunotherapy intends to tell your immune system to stop overreacting when you come into contact with the proteins.
However, immunotherapy is not for everyone.
It’s not guaranteed to work for every case, typically takes a very long time for the immune system to adjust, and is not always affordable.
