Wood floors are easier to clean than rugs or carpets. Consider using a freestanding HEPA air filter to clean the air in the rooms where you and your pet spend the most time. At the very least, don't let them share your bed. Set up a separate sleeping area for your pets. For your dog, a good natural diet can keep her skin healthy and reduce both shedding and dander.
Regular grooming keeps dander and fur under control.
Making some changes in your environment can ease your suffering and let you have a long and healthy life with your canine friend. The American Kennel Club has a web page dedicated to human allergies.
