If a dog sneezes, does that mean he's allergic?

Answer by  tcat (769)

You might look around and see if he breathes in or comes into contact with things that might make him sneeze, that would be the first thing I would do. When I cleaned my house with harsh chemical cleaners it made my cat sick and sneeze.

Some dogs just sneeze a lot. When you think about it, a dog is much closer to the floor than we are so anything in carpets or on the floor can make the dog sneeze.

Yes, it could mean that he is allergic or that there is dust around the house. It might also be that your dog has a cold. Check with your vet if your dog sneezes doesn't disappear in a week.

If your dog is sneezing it does not neccessarily mean he is allergic to something. If his sneezing persists though you should see a vet.

No it could just mean that something doesn't smell right or there may have been some dust that got up his nose and he is sneezing it out if you are concerned it might be an allergy problem then you need to take him to the vet they will test him and let you know the results.
