Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to get rid of pet dander. If she has a lot of dandruff, you can try some fish oil over her food to help moisturize her skin. The dander though will likely still be there. If you have allergies, I would recommend to not let her sleep on your pillow and you can also get an air filter for your room which will help to decrease the amount of pet dander in the air. I hope this helps!
