Do dogs have different types of dander?

Yes, dogs can have different types of dander. Dander is made up of tiny flakes of skin that are shed by animals, including dogs. Dogs can shed dander from different parts of their body, including their fur, skin, and paws. The type of dander a dog sheds can depend on its breed, coat type, and overall health.

For example, dogs with long, thick fur may shed more dander than dogs with short, thin fur. Dogs with certain skin conditions or allergies may also shed more dander than healthy dogs.

Canine dander is made up of proteins and other substances that can cause allergic reactions in some people. The severity of a person's reaction to dog dander can vary depending on the individual and the amount of dander they come into contact with.

Some common symptoms of a dog dander allergy include:

* Sneezing

* Itchy eyes

* Runny nose

* Congestion

* Wheezing

* Shortness of breath

* Skin rashes

If you think you may be allergic to dog dander, it's important to talk to your doctor or an allergist. They can help you diagnose your allergy and recommend ways to manage it.
