Im Allergic

My mom is allergic to dogs’ saliva and dander and we want a dog so badly. There has only been one dog she hasn’t had a reaction to, which was a silky terrier, but she has had reactions to other dogs of the same breed. Is there a breed where my mom is less likely to react to the saliva?

Okay I recommend a hypoallergenic dogs like Tibetan Terrier,Yorkshire Terrier, Samoyed, and Poodles. The following dogs are actually have low dander or none at all. Another choice is you can chose a smooth coat dog ( a dog with fur/little hair) which has low dander too! But Saliva…now that is going to be hard to find cause mostly all dogs produce saliva so that is the bad part. In addition, just look up Hypoallergenic dog breeds and they’ll list what makes them hypoallergenic and I hope this helps!!

i read somewhere that having a pet while your child is young is good for them. When your dog is outside and comes in, they bring the dander and pollen with them. And your child is slowly introduced to that.

i never had a dog growing up and had bad allergies. My kids have had a dog since before they were born and never had a sniffle.

We have a cairn terrier.

i am allergic to dogs and cats with symptoms of sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion and coughing. hypo-allergenic dogs are no better for me than any other dog. i really would like a dog…are allergy shots worth the hassle and do they eliminate all symptoms?

THEY SAVED ME!!! Allergy shots were NO hassle to me, they were relatively painless (most of the time, I don’t even know when they stick me.), and they work! I am allergic to cats, dogs, all trees, shrubs, grass, bushes, nearly everything on my prick test came up positive. I get allergy shots and they are the greatest thing I have ever gotten in my life. Right before you get your shots, you take an anti-histamine. Then, in 2 tiny diabetic syringes (tiny needle, too) they give you one shot in each arm, but it’s in the back of the arm where most of the fat is. Your arm is never sore and there’s no need for a bandaid! That’s how small the needle is. When I got them, they eliminated ALL of my symptoms. I could leap into a mile high pile of dog and cat hair and it won’t affect me one bit. ALLERGY SHOTS ARE WORTH IT. Once you get them and start seeing results, you will look forward to getting them. I do. Best thing since sliced bread!
