I have a pet dog at home (Labrador). She sheds decent amount of hair throughout the day. Is dog hair harmful for human being?

Yes it may cause severe naso bronchial allergies. U should be very much alert for the hygiene around u. Otherwise keep your dog in the yard only. Dog should strictly not enter your kitchen and dining place.

If someone is allergic to dogs only then dog hair can be harmful. You should give nutritious food to your dog with plenty of proteins. Moreover you should comb your dog daily .this way the shedding of hair will decrease.

Hello, Dog hair is not harmful for humans. But make sure that you regularly vacuum your sofas, curtains and keep your beds clean so that you get fresh air to breathe.
