It may not be the dogs but if it is I would recommend petal cleanse. I am allergic to cats and use it on my cat as getting rid of her just wasn't an option. You just wipe it on their coat - makes my cat really shiny too. He could have allergy tests to check for sure - think boots etc do them. I had skin tests done by my consultant - don't think they are that expensive to get done so you know for sure.

I know the rape seed is out just now, but I have no idea when they release their pollen, and I suppose his symptoms have coincided with that too. I will have a little hunt to see when the rape seed releases its pollen.

Thanks

it may also be a type of hayfever, as I am fine in bed and at work but there must be some pollen around in the morning and early evening as I start off sneezing and my eyes go all gooey!!

Its shampoo that works on the same concept of lower dander levels to help prevent allergies.

That actually might fit in, as they are dropping their coats just now, and there is a lot of dander.

Thanks for that

If you don't do it already give them a bath every week and a good brushing with a slicker brush just before the bath. Allergies are usually caused by dander (dandruff ect) and weekly baths and regular brushings help keep the levels down. It might help him.
