Dog dander
Allergenic protein found in the skin, saliva, and urine of dogs, leading to respiratory issues and skin reactions.
Description
- Sneezing and runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy, red, or watery eyes
- Coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing
- Skin rash or hives
- Asthma attacks in individuals with asthma
There isn’t typically cross-reactivity in the same way as with food allergies. However, people allergic to dogs may also be allergic to other animals, especially those with fur or feathers, like cats, rabbits, and certain types of birds.
- If you experience allergic symptoms around dogs or in environments where dogs live.
- If you are considering getting a dog and have a history of allergies or asthma.
- If you have a pet dog and suffer from chronic allergy or asthma symptoms.
- Limit exposure to dogs as much as possible, and avoid direct contact.
- Keep the dog out of your bedroom and other areas where you spend a lot of time.
- Bathe and groom your dog regularly to minimize the amount of dander.
- Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in your home’s ventilation system and vacuum cleaner.
- Wash your hands after touching a dog.
- Regularly clean your home, including carpets and upholstered furniture, to reduce allergens.
- Over-the-counter antihistamines or nasal sprays may help with allergic reactions.
- In severe cases, consult an allergist for specialized treatments like allergen immunotherapy.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in Europe. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
