Anyone else allergic to dog licks?
My lil guy can give me a couple licks and it’s ok, but if I let him groom me my skin scabs over on the spot within 24 hours

@SW-User My palms and fingers seem uneffected so I let him lick there, and he likes to give a couple licks on my ears and neck when he snuggles up, but my legs react badly to it and I’ve got several raw spots where I didn’t realize fast enough what he was doing. Makes me feel bad for him though…it’s how a dog shows love

However, if you frequently notice a breakout when you come in contact with dog saliva, it is reasonable to assume that you have an allergy.
Your allergy to dog saliva can take various forms. Most commonly, you will see a rash or hives at the site and feel very itchy.
It’s also possible to have a reaction similar to that of someone who is sensitive to pet dander: itchy eyes, coughing, and a runny nose.
In rare cases, you might have some trouble breathing or even an anaphylactic reaction.
However, few people have a reaction that extends beyond the area where the skin came in contact with dog saliva.
