A German Shepherd has a double coat. I would seem possible that allergens or pollen could adhere to the undercoat or to the outer coat. So, I guess my answer would be that the other dog could be allergic to something that is on the shepherd's coat, but not to the coat itself. It the shepherd goes for walks in any wooded area or rolls in the grass etc, then pollen could easily be found on the coat. My son' s dog is allergic to spruce pollen and he lives in Alaska. There are spruce trees all over the place up there. Pollen or allergens could cause a skin reaction or a nasal/cough type reaction depending on whether it was breathed in or rubbed onto the skin.<br><b>References : </b><br> Hmmm.

Animals are affected by allergies just like there owners! Try a "cream rinse" - hypoallergenic - buy it in a "drugstore" you can use it also. This will coat your dog's fur, and help him make long lasting "friends". Tell the owner of the other dog to do the same. Remember, dog's & cat's skin is no different than ours. Shampoo and cream rinse them with "human products" - like baby shampoo - You can keep buying from the Pet Store and pay twice as much for the same end results.<br><b>References : </b><br>Retired Cruelty Investigation Officer The only difference between your "dog" and "you" is he has 4 legs and can run a hell of a lot faster.
