Hello! My dog an akita inu who is about 3 years old apperently is alergic to pine pollen. I am taking him regularly to the vet and it seems like it is helping him alot by giving him anti alergic shots. My question is, how can I help him at home ? Should I clean his fur more frequently or something else? Thank you for helping me with this problem! Regards!

The best thing to do is buy a home filter system that will purify the air - like a HEPA air purifier. I don't know if it is available where you are but this is what it looks like: ( https://www.webmd.com/allergies/hepa-filters-for-allergies ) ( https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Home-Kitchen-HEPA-Filter-Air-Purifiers/zgbs/home-garden/510192 ) I would just use a damp towel to wipe him off when he comes in from outside. This should help a lot.
