Vacuum her surroundings everyday. Keep her clean and use a simple type soap (not perfumed) every week. Let her sit out in the fresh air during the day but not near pollen and grass seed etc.Keep the lawn short. Perhaps get some allergy medication from the vet. Your dog loves YOU and would rather be with you than without you and a bit healthier. Sometimes asthma goes away. Look up on the Internet about asthma in dogs or even in humans and note what they say to do.Keep her very warm at night.

First of all, are you sure your dog has asthma? It's is more commonly seen in cats than dogs. Are you sure she doesn't have any other number or upper respiratory illnesses or primary lung disease?
Well, if it is indeed asthma, I would talk to your vet about medications. No "local" will make her better. Asthma in pets is not brought on by allergies as most are in people. Medical treatment and low stress are the best.

I know that for people, there are several oral medications that help a lot to reduce the asthma attacks. Maybe your vet can help you find a medication that will keep your dog's asthma under control. For one, you know, don't take her outside, except to do her business. And change your air filters inside.

about six years ago I had a black lab/dauchsand/basset hound mix who had the worst asthma my vet had ever seen. He put her on different medications and steriods and eventually put her on an albuterol inhalor. I suggest that you talk to your vet and, depending on the type of dog and its weight, put him/her on some medications and steriods. With the help of these my dog lived to be about 12 after being diagnosed when she was only 3.

There are several effective medications for animal asthma. You can also work with your vet to make your current enviornment as asthma-friendly as possible.

Somewhere with the least pollution and not too dusty. Perhaps coordinating treatment with your vet would help, antihistamines are often effective for canine asthma and inhalant allergies.

Have the vet look at her & see he'll tell you where the best place the dog shouldbe or give you something for him.

They used to send Asthmatics and patients with Tuberculosis to the desert because it was good for their lungs.
