Your dog's sneezing after wearing a new sweater could indicate an allergic reaction to the fabric or chemicals used in the dye.
- Remove the sweater to check for improvement.
- Observe if sneezing persists without the sweater.
- Consider potential allergies to fabric or chemicals.
It's quite possible that your dog is reacting to something in the sweater. Allergies to specific materials or chemicals in fabric dyes are not uncommon in pets. By removing the sweater, you can monitor whether the sneezing subsides. Keep an eye on your dog to see if the symptoms go away, and try a different fabric if you suspect an allergy.
