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: My husband is allergic to dogs, but lived with little discomfort with a Siberian Husky for several years. We are considering getting a smaller breed, possibly a Jack Russell Terrier or a Norwich Terrier and were wondering what the allergen levels of these two breeds might be. Would it just be best to visit a breeder and see what my husband's reaction is?

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: We have a six year old black Lab/Ret dog. She licks her front paws constantly. We have tried putting her on special diets to no avail. She has been on the medication Pred aand now she is on Clomicalm. None of these seem to have any real effect and our vet is at a loss. If any one has experienced this behavior and has any suggestions we'd be most grateful.

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

Comments: We were thinking of getting our children a much wanted puppy for Christmas. My one son who suffers from food allergies came up positive for allergies to dogs. I find that when 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 to the dog? Thanks!

Comments: I have had dogs all of my life and have a 12 year old and 8 year old dog (great dane and german shorthair pointer)...I have never had a reaction of any kind to these dogs. Recently (July) we got another puppy (bull mastiff)...I noticed immediately that I have an alergic reaction to his saliva...(itchy skin, small hives) but don't seem to have a reaction from petting his fur at all. Is it possible to be alergic to one dog and not another ? Curious !!! Amy

Comments: Sad to say, my girlfriend is a bit allergic to dogs! We may be getting married in the next year or so, and we're looking into dogs that will not affect her terribly. My problem is that I'd like a *lerger* dog, and all the hairless breeds seem so small! Does anyone know of a sizeable dog that doesn't murder people's allergies? Please respond to me via e-mail, and thanks in advance.

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.

Comments: I have had terrible asthmatic reactions due to 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 treatment you could recommend my asking to help endure the time I have to spend with these animals when I am there?

Comments: I am the most allergic person I have ever known. 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 Mike Kibler

Comments: .I am extremely allergic to dogs and some cats and other animals, to the point where if I sit next to a dog owner in the movies I have a reaction. My allergies cause severe sinus infections and asthma. I no longer have the runny nose, sneezing symptoms. I try to stay away from dogs, but it is very difficult. I use a sinus spray and inhalers, does anyone have other suggestions.

Comments: My 4 yr old daughter has tested positive to dog allergens. At this point she gets rhinitis which causes nasal drip and coughing. Does anyone have experience with how long after an 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 anyone with a related experience. Thanks

Comments: My daughter is allergic to cats. But shows no signs of being allergic to dogs. Is this possible? My ex-wife insists that my daughter is allergic to ALL hairy animals. But she is around my dogs on a daily basis with NO shown allergy signs. I have also seen her with a Guinie Pig with no signs either. Is it possible to be allergic to one hairy animal and be ok with others? My ex is using my dogs in a custody battle. Dispite my daughter's begging to keep the dogs.

Comments: I have a pure bred American Eskimo (3 yr. old male). I have a few friends who are extremely allergic to dogs and have NO reaction to my dog - even after prolonged and VERY CLOSE contact. Although he is a double coat breed, I have been told Eskies do not have dander and is therefore hypo-allergenic. However, I did not see any mention of American Eskimos on your site. Just curious...

Comments: We recently bought a yellow lab pup, 6 weeks old and our 7-year old broke out with some welts that could be hives - ? How do we know if he's allergic to the dog's dander or if this is a reaction to the dog's shots? Our son ahs a prior history of asthma, so my guess is allergies. HELP!

Comments: Hello, I'm an allergy suffer (environmental, contact, and food) for many years now but continue to search for a 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. Sincerely, Pat

Comments: My message is very much the same as most others. Actually, my 5 year old son apparently has dog allergies, although the extent is not known due to his age. Our sheltie recently died. My son seemed to have trouble occasionally from our Sheltie, but nothing major. If we visit or care for a laborador, for example, he needs to be nebulized. We would like to get another dog, but keep hearing conflicting information as to which breeds are better, if any at all. We hear alot about the Bichon. Any ideas?

As a child I had a Maltese-Poodle mix and had no problems, my allergies weren't "triggered" until I brought a cat into my home after the death of my dog. I would hate to bring a puppy into my home only to fall in love with it and find out that it made me sick. I currently take Claritin for my allergies but no shots. Any suggestions?

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 owning a dog?

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?

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

Comments: We are falling in love with a Shih Tzu we just 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!!!

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.
