Some people with dog allergies may find that a saline rinse daily to clear nasal passages of allergens can help. A nasal lavage can control symptoms such as congestion and postnasal drip. OTC saline sprays and nasal lavage kits are readily available. You can also make your own by mixing 1/8 teaspoon of table salt with distilled water. Setting up dog-free zones, bathing the dog weekly using a pet-friendly shampoo, removing carpeting, upholstered furniture, horizontal blinds, curtains, and any other items that may attract dander can also reduce allergens. Using high-efficiency particulate air purifiers to reduce airborne allergens in the home can also help. Looking into hypoallergenic dog breeds may be another option.

Anti-itch sprays or creams can provide temporary relief, giving your pet a break from all that scratching. Baths remove allergens or pollen on your pet’s skin, relieving symptoms and soothing skin. Look for shampoos containing oatmeal, which helps to moisturize skin, ease itching, and minimize inflammation. Fatty acid supplements, such as omega fatty acids found in many fish oil supplements, are another way to relieve itchy skin or prevent skin infection. Local honey is often made from the same pollen that causes seasonal allergies, and the idea is that by ingesting the honey, your dog will become more accustomed to the pollen, resulting in less bothersome allergies. Wipe off coat and paws with a moist cloth or hypoallergenic, fragrance-free grooming wipe to help remove excess pollen and allergens when a full bath isn't possible.
