Allergic to Dogs? - discussion board

Welcome! This board is for sharing information, experiences, suggestions, and questions among pet allergy sufferers (people allergic to dogs). It is not intended to replace advice from medical professionals. Always contact your own allergy specialist for the diagnosis and treatment of your allergies!

There is NO "non-allergic" (no allergy causing) dog breed! All dogs produce dander, saliva, and urine that people can be allergic to. However, some dog breeds supposedly produce less dander than others. These breeds are often referred to as being "hypo-allergenic" (LESS LIKELY to cause an allergic reaction) or "allergy friendly". Read more.

For more allergy messages, visit the "Allergic to Dogs?" bb archives.

You can switch between two different board styles by clicking on the "switch to threaded style" or "switch to board style" link. I like the board style because it puts the latest messages on the top.

Please, use descriptive subject lines.

Allergies to dogs not puppies

Is there a difference in puppy and dog dander? I realize that there maybe a difference in the amount of dander, but not saliva. Our daughter was diagnosed with dog allergies and a couple of other food allergies. It really showed with the dogs when a dog licked her. Now, a couple of years later she is showing no reactions to any of her food allergies and we have been exposing her to puppies with no reactions from fur or being licked. Is there a difference in puppy and dog saliva or dander? She wants a dog really bad, but we will not get a puppy and have to get rid of him/her in a few months if as the puppy ages she will start reacting again.

Re: Allergies to dogs not puppies

I think there is--I remember reading that many people with dog allergies don't react to puppies, but when the puppy gets older, they start having allergic reactions. I'm not sure why, but I think there is a difference.

It is due to the size of the dog and that puppies do not moult as adult dogs do>
