Comments: Hi,I have been suffering from allergies for 13
years and asthma for the past 2 years. I currently have a 19 year
old Jack Russell Terrier. I found out I was allergic to dogs since I
inherited him from my grandmother. As you can tell, I love dogs and
hate to give them up because of my allergies/asthma. I saw info on
the American Hairless dog and am very interested in that breed. Does
anyone know of a breeder around the Raleigh/Durham, NC area? THANKS!

Comments: I was on allergy shots for 14 years as a kid.
The reason I stopped was that I got too old for my dad's insurance
and my didn't cover them. As a dog lover, I HAD to have another dog.
And boy did I get lucky with a Papillon -- I even found him at the
pound, which was nothing less than a miracle. I put my face next to
his fur and even slept with him for 9 years without a problem. He
just passed away Sunday and I am devistated. If you have a lot of
love (and expect to get three times as much back), consider a
Papillon.

Comments: I am slightly allergic to dogs, and my mother
thinks that's enough reason not to get one. However, the only dogs
I've ever been around are extremely hairy and fairly dirty ones. I
can't get a hairless terrier because the poor thing would freeze to
death. I can't get a Coton de Tulear 'cuz they cost an arm and a
leg. If anyone knows anything that could help me in my argument with
my mom, please email me. (I think she wants one too, but is afraid
I'll get sick. I won't, but she thinks I will.)

Comments: Please tell me I'm not crazy!!! We had a
Dalmation for 10 years~~~lots of shedding, but I had no problem with
her at all. She had to be putdown in June. We just got a Golden
Retriever mix and a Dachshund yesterday. Since then I've been
wheezing and feel like there's a "hairball" caught in my throat!! No
rashes, itchy eyes,or sneezing. I took the doxie to my grandmother's
house, held her in my lap for 2 hours no problems. I came home and
within an hour, was wheezing again. Is it the Golden's double-coat
I'm sensitive to? The Dachshund seems to have the same type of
"oily" coat that our Dalmation had, even though both these breeds
are supposed to produce more dander, I wasn't sensitive to them. Are
double-coated dogs more prone to producing allergies in humans?
HELP...I told my daughter we would need to return the Golden to the
rescue people and she is heartbroken....We need any and all feedback
or advice...thanks in advance.. Barb

Comments: I have had 5 German Sheperd dogs in my life. Now
I wanted to get a pup for my 7 year old daughter, which I did (Short
haired German Shepherd). On the second day of her playing with the
puppy, she developed a skin rash on her neck, inside arms and chest.
The doctor said that it could be the puppy. I am trying to find
every excuse for the puppy. The first day I got him (10 weeks old)
he was filthy (dust and stuff), he was extremely underwieght and not
wormed. I washed the dog with puppy shampoo, wormed him, started his
distemper course and put on a flea collar. Could it be any of the
a/m, or could this condition change when the puppy changes it's fur
to a grown dog's fur? What can I do?

Comments: I notice that you suggest visiting the breeder
and exposure to all their dogs? Our son met a wheaton terrier and
was fine with it (he is allergic to dust mites and mold). We were
encouraged by his lack of reaction and found a breeder with an adult
dog and 6 puppies. We visited in the laundry/grooming room and after
20 minutes he was sneezing and sniffing. We were very disappointed.
Is it possible that one dog would not be a problem and that the
amount of the allergen was an issue which pushed him over the
threshold? Thanks for any feedback. Liz

he is around other dogs he sometimes is ok but other times suffers
from itchy red eyes and stuffy nose. We were looking into a toy
poodle since he has a friend who owns 3 minature poodles and seems
to do well when he is at their house. Is there anyone else out there
who is allergic to dogs but owns a poodle with little or no reaction

Comments: Hi. Our family has a ten week old Soft Coated
Wheaten Terrier. I am asthmatic and have been allergic to most cats
and dogs. However, I did have a part Lab, mixed breed dog for 10
years, before she died. I appreciate the information you provide
about how to manage this allergy issue. I didn't think I would be
allergic. Wheatens are supposed to be good for allergic types. But
it is hard to know because the week after we brought him home (two
weeks ago) I came down with a respiratory flu, including chills,
temp and the whole bit. My relatives think the dog is the reason I
came down with this. I take three inhalers for asthma-long before
the dog. Two are preventive and one if an attack occurs. I am going
to employ several of the suggestions you gave-air filter, etc. and
see how things go. My teens have always wanted a dog and we got one
late in the game because I am now home every day-I used to work full
time. Thanks very much.

my allergies to dogs and cats my entire life. I recently spent a
week at my in-laws who, due to their other childrens dogs, had four
dogs in their house. I had to be rushed to the ER twice this week
and my wife and I had to leave earlier than planned. I am planning
on seeing an immunologist on Monday or Tuesday. Is there any type of

Have the worst uncontrollable asthma according to scores of doctors.
Countless ER visits and near death experiences for twentfive years.
Was desperate to have a dog for my daughter. Finally attempted a Toy
Poodle. Was pretty allergic for almost 4 weeks. Took all kinds of
prescription meds. Used Allerpet. Did tons of laundry a day. Kept my
face away. And bathed him every 4 him days. Now I have no symptoms
whatsoever!!! i can even kiss him and sleep with him. Must've
developed some immunities. Cannot believe it. Good Luck to all
allergy sufferers. Also used a homeopathic remedy which may have
helped-from BIOALLERS, for dander allergy.

Comments: we own two giant schnauzers. Zep is 5 yrs old.
Junior is 2. Zep takes medication for an under-active thyroid (6
months). three months ago Zep started having itching problems and
began scratching himself constantly to the point of drawing blood.
our vet gave him a steroid shot and a reducing like prescription but
it did not help at all. he indicated it could be an allergy problem.
about 1 month ago Junior started having the same problem although it
does not seem as serious. two weeks ago we stopped giving them any
type of food except their regular dog food (Iams) and some
vegetables such as carrots, radishes and cauliflower as snacks. we
also are giving them baths with medicate shampoo at least once a
week. i also put socks on Zep's back feet so he does not injure
himself so much when he scratches. is there anybody out there that
could give me information on how to stop this problem? i did not
realize this type of problem was so big with dogs. i got 9 thousand
sites to look at. any help would certainly be appreciated. thanks

exposure to dogs symptoms first start to appear? Can they show up
after a few days or do they have to show up sooner? My wife and I
are trying to match the exposure with the allergic reaction. But so
far my daughter shows no reaction for 3-4 days. My wife says it's
probably a cold if the symtoms don't appear sooner. I am looking for

dog that would not cause symptoms. After reading about AHT, I wonder
if there is hope. I would appreciate feedback from individuals that
are highly allergic and their experience (both positive and
negative) and from breeders (have people returned pup's for this
reason). We use an Austin air filter, Meile vacuum cleaner (both
have worked out very well), enclose mattress and box spring with
protective cover and do not use scent air fresheners of any kind.
Shots did not work either. I look forward to your response.

My son seemed to have trouble occasionally from our Sheltie, but
nothing major. If we visit or care for a laborador, for example, he

Comments: I have a question about determining a cold
versus an allergy. Our youngest daughter has had a cold for about
two weeks. Her nose runs clear and just in the day or so she has
started coughing. My husband has also been sick and I think they
keep giving it back and forth. Yesterday we brought home a dog, part
terrier/part beagle. We took our daughter to the doctor this morning
just to make sure the cough wasn't becoming bronchitis . The doctor
said she thought it was allergies because of the time involved. Any
suggestions on what we can do to help determine if it is an allergy
or a cold before we all become too attached to the new family dog.
And if it is allergies, we have two cats, a dog and a bird (we've
had the cats and bird since before the birth of our youngest) what
do we do then? We have hardwood floors with few rugs... Any comments
would be appreciated. Thanks.

Comments: My son suffers from asthma and enviornmental
allergies. Also has life threatening food allergies. We want him to
have a dog. His dr. says that he can be sensitized over time and
become allergic. Just because someone has allergies (tests show not
to dogs) does that mean he is more likely to become allergic to
dogs. He's been around dogs at families homes. (Multible dogs). Even
had sleepovers where the dogs are. And no real problems. Tested ok
to dogs and cats. We don't want to get a dog and have him become
allergic. What percentage of people actually become allergic after

Comments: My husband and I got a Jack Russell Terrier just
before Christmas and my husband is allergic to him. We have been
very religous in cleaning his toys and bedding, keeping him out of
the bedroom, and bathing him once a week. We purchased a Hepa filter
and a air purifier. We installed a central vac. which filter to the
outside, but to no avail nothing seems to help. My poor husband
suffers from terrible sinus headaches and is just plain miserable.
He was having trouble sleeping and even concentrating at work. He
takes decongestants and has a prescription for Flonase (steriod
inhalant). He goes for allergy shots (only started about 7 weeks
ago) but the Doctor said that it was not for dogs because dog dander
has not yet been standarized. I found this very hard to beleive. I
read that you get shots. Do you know the story on shots for dog
dander? We have given our sweet, sweet boy to a wonderful home and
are absolutely miserable without the little guy. We want him back so
bad but don't know how unless we come up with some sort of solution.
Do you have any information or suggestions on what we can do?

have any thoughts on whether and to what degree they are?

Comments: We have a situation regarding Human allergic
reaction to dog saliva: we are working on adding a dog to the
family, but one of our sons seems to have an allergic reaction
(redness and swelling around his eyes and face which goes away in
less than an hour). We are wondering if there is some type of
desensitization protocol that might be effective in reducing oru
son's susceptibility to allergic reaction to the dog candidates.
Thank you. all the best wishes, Reznor Orr (239) 877-2380

found, but know that allergies have been a problem with other breeds
for us. Does anyone know if people with moderate allergies do well
with Shih Tzus? Should we chance it?

Comments: I'm interested in knowing if Allerpet would work
for me. My brother lives with dogs in his home. That is the reason I
never go over to his house and rarely see him. I have my own
apartment & he came over to install my ceiling fan; because I don't
have anyone else who would install it. He dropped a tool onto the
carpet and kneeled on the carpet to fetch it. While he was here and
after he left, I felt sick...especially around the spot where he had
knelt on the carpet. When I make the mistake of turning the ceiling
fan on ....I got seriously sick. I'm deathly allergic to dogs;
allergic reactions resulting in life threatening laryngospasms. I
can barely stand to be as close as 2 feet from anyone because of the
dog dander that they have on them. I can walk up to a complete
stranger and know whether or not that person has been in contact
with dog dander. I'm living on a small disability check and medicaid
doesn't pay for things like HEPA filters (which usually run from
$80.00 to $400.00) & products (costing $50.00+ ) that claim to be
able to counteract or neutrilize the allergans in dog dander. I
would like the chance to try a product before I buy it ...just to be
sure than it works for me. When you have $200.00 left over each
month to live on after the bills are paid....spending around $50.00
on something that might not even work is frightening. But I've had
an incident of laryngospasm (result of allergic reaction to dog
dander) in the past & the prospect of it happening again terrifies
me. I'd really not care to die by suffocation brought on my allergic
reaction to dog hair. I've searched the internet to find some
information about removing the dog dander or rendering the allergens
in it in such a way that it would reduce the chance of my having a
such life threatening allergic reaction. Unfortunately I can't find
much information from consumers (fellow allergy sufferers) on
whether these products really work. All I find is companies trying
to sell thier stuff. Some advice and information from your personal
experience would be appreciated. How do you completely remove the
dog dander that is in a carpeted apartment or render it harmless to
someone who is deathly allergic to it? I rent an apartment on
Section 8 housing assistance and so I don't have the option of
actually tearing out the carpet.....although I would really love to.
Is there anything out there that will help? Perhaps even some
programs that would help pay for a HEPA filter when Medicaid will
not? I've been on allergy shots for the past year and it doesn't
seem to help much where dog dander is concerned. From what I
understand Medicaid will not pay for a HEPA filter unit or any of
these products that advertisements claim will help. Is there an
actual real time chat room for people allergic to dogs ....somewhere
out there on the internet? Most of what I have found deals with
either people allergic to dogs who still want them ..or dogs that
actually suffer allergies. If I tried to life with a dog in my home
or even the back yard, My allergic reaction to one would be so
severe It would threaten my life. It scares me being this sick in my
own apartment & I don't have the resources to shampoo the carpet or
move out. If my clothing comes in contact with a dog or someone with
dog dander on them....I could wash them a million times and I would
still get deathly sick wearing them. I've gotten to where I just
throu the clothing away. I can't throw my apartment away and I can't
move out of it. I could really use some answers. Someone Please
email me!!! Sincerely, Kasey Port Arthur, TX USA darkprizmnyxhecate@sbcglobal.net

Comments: I raise Italian Greyhounds and they are on the
non-shed-allergy list. We got a Greman shepard/pit cross and we
could realy tell the difference. His dander kills my husband, but
the Iggies(Italian Greyhounds) don't and he is very sensitive. They
are rare, only 2000 registered last year. They are lap dogs and love
kids. They are also a great compainion where you have an active life
style or a couch potato.

Comments: Last week my 3 1/2 year old dog that weighed 13
pounds had a rash on her tummy. I took her the the Vet's and he
prescribed vanectyl p #5. I administered it according to the
prescription for one week. On the 7th day when I gave her the last
1/2 pill one hour later my dog was dead. Can someone plase tell me
if this incident has happened to their pet. I am convinced that this
medication killed my dog.
