Hello,
we bought a puppy and found out that our youngest is allergic to dogs (she is also asthmatic). She starts sneezing whenever she is around him. Is there anything to prevent this allergy?
Hey there,
Uhh… that is really unfortunate! Has your dog long hair? I am also allergic to dogs, but I manage with terriers (they are short haired). I think it is unnecessary to put your child through sneezing and other possible reaction if you do not urge. I think the best way is to change your dog for another one… if buying another dog?! Talk too your doc and let him make some test with your child to see what type of allergy has.
