Can dogs be allergic to humans?

This forum is for dog lovers seeking everyday advice and suggestions on health-related issues. Remember, however, that advice on a public forum simply can't be a substitute for proper medical attention. Only your vet can say assuredly what is best for your dog.

Question as advertised. Also, how would you find out and what would you do if your dog was?

I do not think a dog could be allergic to humans, per se, but could totally see them having reactions to cosmetics, perfumes/colognes, and other chemicals (such as fabric softener) that humans use abundantly. Buut, I'm no doc, so who knows?hamster dance

To check, maybe try cutting back on products used, or checking the products to see if they contain chemicals that can irritate skin. Some dogs have reactions to cleaning chemicals as well, so maybe switch out what you use to clean floors and such with.
