Don't bathe your pet too often! Doing so will dry out his skin and cause him to shed more dander. On the other hand, there are several shampoos on the market which claim to be dander-reducing. Please evaluate how prone to dry, dandruffy skin your dog is, and decide whether one of these shampoos is worthwhile (it will, without a doubt, make his skin drier and more prone to dander).

If your son's allergies are severe, the best thing I can suggest is to find a loving home for your pet. You don't want either your son or your dog to suffer, and if keeping your dog makes your son suffer, likely one of them would be resentful. I wish you the best of luck. I'm sorry things aren't turning out so well for you.

Perhaps, bathing weekly with plain water will reduce the dander. Using shampoos will dry out the skin.
