Negligible Allergen Presence in Hospital Dogs After Washing
By washing the Hospital Dogs with shampoo, we have found a significant reduction of the dog allergen Can f 1 and Can f 4 lasting for at least three days. In the work of introducing certified Hospital Dogs into Swedish hospitals, which so far has not been possible in Sweden, this is an important finding.
