Can Dogs Get Dust Mite Allergies? How to Help Your Pet and Yourself
Why Dust Mites Are a Problem for Dogs
Dust mites are tiny bugs that live in dust. They’re found in bedding, carpets, and furniture. If your dog scratches a lot or sneezes, dust mites might be the cause.
Signs Your Dog Has a Dust Mite Allergy
- Itchy skin and paws
- Constant scratching or licking
- Sneezing or runny nose
- Red or watery eyes
These signs are very close to human allergies caused by dust mites.
Can Humans and Dogs Share Dust Mite Allergies?
Yes! If you or your pet have dust mite allergies, living together can make it worse. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, both pets and people can react to the same allergens indoors.
