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 can reduce allergens. bathing the dog weekly using a pet-friendly shampoo can reduce allergens. removing carpeting, upholstered furniture, horizontal blinds, curtains, and any other items that may attract dander can reduce allergens. using high-efficiency particulate air purifiers to reduce airborne allergens in the home can help. keeping the dog outside in certain climates in a well-contained area and under humane conditions can reduce exposure to allergens. looking into hypoallergenic dog breeds can be a natural remedy for some.

Oatmeal baths—colloidal oatmeal has a soothing effect on skin without being drying.
A bath in cool to lukewarm water can calm itchy skin.
You can also soak your pet’s paws in an oatmeal bath for 5-10 minutes.
Apple cider vinegar—the acetic acid in cider vinegar can inhibit yeast on the skin and, when mixed 50:50 with water, this solution can be sprayed on the skin or used as a soak for itchy paws.
Epsom Salts—itchy paws can be soaked in a solution of dilute Epsom salts for 5-10 minutes a day to soothe that itch, remove allergens, and improve healing.
Fish oil/omega 3 fatty acids—this one takes a little longer to be effective, but, if your dog or cat is prone to allergies, adding a good quality pet brand of fish oil to his or her diet can help to improve the skin barrier within 4-8 weeks.
Chamomile or green tea soak—these teas can have soothing properties when used as a soak or applied to the skin.
