help me to stop smoking! stop smoking medications, stop smoking help, stop smoking plans and more
I love dogs and cats but have suffered from severe allergies and asthma my whole life. I am looking for a dog which won’t provoke asthma and will have a calm temperment, we live in a community which won’t tolerate an anxious or aggressive pet.

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again
Hi, my daughter has asthma and other severe allergies, she had reacted to several types of dogs she had come into contact with. My mum wanted to buy a dog but as we spend a lot of time at her house, we needed it to be as non-allergic as possible and also calm and friendly with the children whilst being a loving companion for my mum. When we looked into it we were told the best dogs were poodles, bishon frise and lhasa apsos as although no dog is totally hypoallegic, these dogs need to have their hair brushed out rather than shedding. My mum got her lhasa from a lhasa rescue and the people were happy for us to go a spend time petting the dog to see if it caused problems. She now has a poodle and a lhasa and my daughter is fine with them.
poodles are a good dog that people get when they are allergic to dogs.
The Bichon Frise, and the Soft-coated Wheaton. I’ve also come across the Portuguese Water Dog, the
Schnauzer, and the Chinese Crested as also being hypo-allergenic.
Shih Tzus. My husband is allergic to dogs and we’ve had our Shih Tzu for one year and my husband has had no problems. Another plus — Shih Tzus don’t shed.
I researched allergy friendly dogs before we got ours and Shih Tzus are allergy friendly which weighed heavilly in my decision.
I highly recommend http://www.arizonashihtzu.com. We got our dog from them. I believe they ship nationwide.
Im not sure but perhaps there is a spray you can use on the dogs coat to keep it at bay? it may mean that you cannot ever have a dog. Think about your health first.
Poodles should be good for you – they don’ t moult apparently
There are hairless breeds of dogs, cats and rats.
No since dander is the skin particles trapped in an animals coat. There are breeds that are nearly ‘hypo-allergenic’ and the most famous 2 are poodles and chinese cresteds.
I am allergic to my dog, but as long as I bathe him, or have him bathed once a week (with a mild shampoo of course) I am fine, no hives, no asthma attacks.
I agree with the first response. Poodles don’t shed their hair and are therefore often ideal pets for those who suffer from allergies.
- Guide dogs for the blind used labrador and poodle crossbreeds for this purpose – called them Labradoodles! – don’t know how successfull they were though
Hairless Chihuahua?
Bichon Frise. My sister has had asthma and severe allergies all her life and did her research prior to choosing this breed to accomodate her health problems while providing a companion for her kids. Everything seems to be working well, they have had thier Bichon for years. I myself noticed that when I hug her dog, he doesn’t even shed! So consider this breed, and good luck to you! The happiness a pet brings is truly beyond measure, and you don’t have to be deprived of it!
Try a tea-cup poodle.
there is a breed called chinese crested that are virtualy hairless (I think they look horrible, but some people love them)
I would suggest a poodle, they can be very affectionate and gentle dogs. They don’t shed hair/dander therefore making them quite a good pet to fit your circumstances. I would ask your local vet or even poodle breeders for more in depth advice. Hope this helps!!!
have a word with your local vet they will help
there is one. i cannot re the correct spelling of it. but its a cross between a labour and a poodle. they have been special breed for people with alleric’s and asthma.not sure where you buy them. but some on a yahoo may know. good luck.
Poodles.
I was going to ask the same question about cats because I break out in a rash every time I go near my girlfriend’s puss y.
Hi yes there are in breeds that don’t shed like poodles…however you have to take into considerasion that these breeds do need har are & this must be kept up with…you will not get dog hairs around the place…I was brought up in a kennel of 42 dogs the most of those apart from 2 where all poodles…
They do have a good temprement as long as like with any other breed they are socialised from being a puppy…
They are easy to train & very willing to please & affectionate…
Regards Jake
Poodles are a good dog for allergy sufferers because they don’t shed their coats, they have to be clipped.
Poodles and schnauzers.
We have two giant schnauzers – and before you commit yourself you should see if anyone living locally has any of the advised dogs (try contacting the vets or local dog training classes – and ask the owners if they mind you visit their homes – see if you suffer any symptoms – you usually find people with dogs registered at vets – or in classes will be pleased to help you this way.
Dog lovers want everyone to have dogs! Good luck in your search.
siberian husky’s are great i have 2 of them and they only moult twice a year they aslo do not have a doggy smell that you find with a lot of dogs
jackadoodle. This is a jack russell x poodle. A small easily managed dog as I have two jack russells and the poodle is a relatively docile dog. They do not cast any hair and were bred with the intention of those with allergies as they seemingly do not affect people with asthma or similar allergies.
Good luck.
NO!
NO SUCH THING as "hypo-allergenic" dogs!!!!
That’s a SALES-PITCH=LIE!
my sister has really bad alergies against everything but has discovered through owning four of them that huskys do not agrivate her at all , they are very loving and playfull but do need alot of exercise or play time and because they are pack dogs they do get lonely so you should either spend alot of time with them or consider getting a companion for it , i hope i have helped a little
west highland terriers are good they dont shed hair so i woul recimend one of them
