Hi there. So there isn't a shot that I know of that will get rid of dander. You can try things like fish oil, feeding a high quality food, and using monthly flea control. Fish oil can be picked up at your vets office (we carry a product called 3v caps) or you can get it at any health food store. Just pop open one of the caps and put it on the food twice a day for 14 days. What brand of food are you feeding?

Well lets start with the food. You might want to switch to a higher quality food like Science Diet or Eukanuba. Iams is also a good one. The fish oil has omega-3 fatty acids in it. It should help to condition and make his skin healthy. If you go to petplace.com and type in fish oil, there is a lot of info there about it.
