Q: I recently got a Havanese puppy, Marcos, who was supposed to be hypoallergenic. However, every time I’m near him, I break out in hives, sneeze, and get itchy eyes. Would modifying his diet make him less allergenic?
A: I’m sorry to hear you are allergic to your new pup. Unfortunately, no dog is hypoallergenic, and no dietary modifications, supplements, medications, or vaccines have been shown to change that.
