dear friend
please also wash and de tic your dogs, you may be having some kind of allergy to the dog hair, a detail analysis of your pattern of redness and the contact with dogs while asleep will surely help.
To get immediate relief, i would suggest that you try anti histamine and see if the itching and redness reduces if it is so you certainly will be having allergic reaction , you can try getting an allergy test done as well
