I have had a runny nose for about 3-4 weeks, some days are worse than others. But i got a dog (short-haired) about a month ago and I really never had any sickness problems. Now I'm thinking maybe it's the dog or the dust inside the house? But I have another dog for 5 years which is long haired.
How can i figure out if im allergic to my new small pet. (short-haired) or if i got some odd disease.

Ask your doctor about seeing an allergist if you think it may be the dog. If that isnt the case, something else is clearly up.

Consider how you feel during your hours away from the dog. Compare that with how you feel when with your dog.
The timing of the beginning of your symptoms does coincide with the entry of your pet.
