Unfortunately, you cannot naturally develop complete immunity to dog allergens. However, there are cases where sustained, controlled exposure reduces the severity of symptoms over time. This is not guaranteed and varies by individual. Some people experience a tolerance effect. For example, living with a specific dog for years may make your immune system less reactive to that particular pet. Yet, sensitivities may remain for other breeds or dogs. Medical treatments can also help desensitize individuals. While you can’t build full immunity to dog allergies naturally, many people find that exposure, medications, and environmental controls help manage symptoms.
