Feb 27, 05 - 2:35 PM Any advice about poodles ?
Does anyone have any experience of poodles and allergies?
Since my 8 year old daughter had an awful reaction with a border
collie/lab pup with asthma and is less allergic to a schnouzer, but
it still makes her wheeze with prolonged contact we had given up
hope of having a dog. However, people keep suggesting a poodle. I
realise there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic breed and a
poodle would not be my first choice of dog, but are they really as
good for people with allergies as everyone says? My daughter is not
even very asthmatic but is obviously very sensative to some (or
all?) dogs and I do not need to have her allergy tested to realise
this.I expect the only way to find out if she is allergic to Poodles
is for her to spend time with them but I would not risk getting
another pup that we might have to return and I do not know anyone
with one. My daughters health is paramount but if there is a chance
she could live in harmony with one it would be great. We live in the
UK and there doesn't seem to be the poodle cross breeds that I keep
reading about.
Any advice or successful/unsuccessful stories would be much
appreciated.

I have experienced the same heartache. I got my boys a cat and my 5
year old was allergic. I then decided to get a dog and unwisely
tried a German Sheppard(not the first choice for allergy
sufferers)and of course the sneezing and itching started. We looked
on the web and asked alot of pet owners over the next year and a
half. Everyone said...oh poodles are just great for allergy
sufferers. I did not want to upset my kids again by giving away yet
another pet so I thought...I'll go with the best bet..a 100% poodle!
We are now on day two and my son has started sneezing and getting
those allergy eyes! I have noticed that it is the saliva not the
hair that is the problem. I don't know what to do. My sons and
husband will be devastated if I get rid of this pet.....but who
wants their child to suffer for years?
Save yourself the stress and make sure you do borrow a dog exactly
like the one you want for at least a week before you dive in! Don't
make the same mistake I did.

I have horrible allergies to dogs and recently discovered I am OK
with poodles. I brought home a mini poodle in the fall and he has
brought such joy to my life. Definitely go visit with the dogs first
though and if there are any signs of allergies, wait.

Dear Patty,

your sons reaction to your poodle. Did you manage to come to a happy
resolution? I guess if you had you would have shared your story but

Apr 3, 05 - 1:07 PM Ear infections and allergies
We have a 4 year old beagle. We have had her since she was a pup.
Nine months ago we had a baby and since then we have been dealing
with ear infection after ear infection. I took her to the doctor and
he said that it could be because of an allergy to something in the
house. I am wondering if you have ever heard of a dog allergy
causing ear infections.

the best thing to do is to give your dog regular baths because the
one thing that triggers allergies the most is dog dandruff. Also the
type of shampoo is important on my dog to stop my allergies I use
Solid Gold. Good Luck!!!

I am allergic to dogs, but my daughter desperately wanted one. After
much research and actual petting many so-called hypo-allergenic
dogs, we ended up with a shih tzu puppy. Although I do have some
reaction to him it is very mild. I mostly just have to wash my hands
well after handling him. He is the sweetest dog and a welcome
addition to our family. You should have your mom spend some time
with a dog like a shih tzu before taking it home. It can be
heartbreaking otherwise. Good Luck!

Hi my mom has really bad allergies to dogs. I have wanted one since

Does anyone know of a nice friendly dog that sheds little skin

Apr 3rd, 2005 - 4:29 PM Re: Mom allergic to dogs
We just got a shih tzu puppy about 3 weeks ago after a long search
for a dog that I am not allergic to. I tried the bichon and had a
reaction to that one. You can also consider the wheaten terrier. So
far I have done very well with the shih tzu. I just wash my hands a
lot, especially after I handle him or pet him. So far so good! He is
a wonderful dog. Not too hard to train and great with my children
(ages 5 and 7). I would definitely recommend a shih tzu, plus they
don't shed and they have hair instead of fur. I checked out a lot of
dogs before getting the shih tzu due to my allergies and this was
the best one I found. Good Luck!

There is no such thing as a hypo-allergenic dog. Some breeds are

buy.

Oct 18th, 2004 - 4:11 PM Re: hypo allergic dogs
I, like the person who replied before me, do not believe there is
any such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. I love dogs, but I am also
allergic to dogs -- itchy eyes, asthma -- not a good combo. as all
of you know. Here's been my experience in a nutshell: I have yet to
find a dog that I have absolutely no allergic reaction to. I also
have to inform you that I take allergy meds (Allegra-D, Rhinocort
Aqua nasal spray, and Patanol eye drops). I had a lhasa apso/maltese
mix, and my allergies were not too bad with him. I foster-parented a
Yorkie for 4 months and had horrible reactions to him. I now have a
maltese, and my allergies have not been very bad with him. He even
sleeps with us -- but not on the pillows. I also let him give me
kisses on the lips. We keep him in a puppy cut, and we do bathe him
once a week and my husband brushes him. We also have very little
carpeting in the house. I do still feel tightness in my lungs -
almost on a daily basis. I also have really itchy eyes on occasion.
It's all a matter of how much of your allergy symptoms you are
willing to live with for the next 10-15+ years of your life. How
much do you want a dog versus how much are you willing to "suffer"
for it? Obviously I'm willing to "suffer" some for my dog.
I do want to make sure you do not take on a dog too hastily and then
have to get rid of him because of your allergies. Don't be selfish -
you may think you're the only one who will suffer, but the dog will
too. You could try to "borrow" a dog from someone you know. You
probably will need to be around the dog for AT LEAST a couple of
weeks if not longer. You could also see about being a foster parent
for a rescue group, but keep in mind that some of those dogs may
have health problems, and you will likely have to pay for the dog's
treatment during the time you are fostering.

Feb 12th, 2005 - 6:17 AM Re: hypo allergic dogs
I was quite dismayed to hear that minature shnauzers are supposed to
be less allergic when I first checked out this site because that is
the very dog my 8 year old daughter has problems breathing around.
She hasn't been around many other dogs to know how she is with them
but her reaction to a border collie/lab cross pup was frightening,
she could hardly breathe.We tried bathing the pup and petal cleanse
but it was no good. Perhaps if her Nans shnauzer was bathed
regularly her reaction may be less severe. We tried petal cleanse a
few years ago but didn't see much improvement and stopped using it.
It may have been that we didn't give the petal cleanse a good enough
chance. We are holding on to the hope that there is a dog out there
my daughter is not allergic to but we just need to find it . It
seems that what one person calls a hypo allergenic dog is not always
the case for everyone. Knowing my daughter has a tendacy to be
allergic we got the pup on a weeks trial but only ended up keeping
her 2 days and even then we were all heartbroken to give her up. So
choose very carefully and good luck!

Our family just lost a Jack Russell Terrier and we are all heart
broken. She was a very intelligent dog and sensitive to the family
members...quite different from the hyper-dog reputation of the Jack
Russell. I am investigating which dog breed would best suit our
family. I have allergies, but my son and husband love the terrier
breed for its intelligence and activity. We need to find a dog who
can play and learn tricks, intelligent and loving. I would like to
find one who I am less allergic to. Any suggestions?

Apr 5th, 2005 - 2:50 AM Re: hypo allergic dogs
In our search for a poodle we came accross a wonderful lady who had
Bedlington terrier pups. Since they keep cropping up on the less
allergic lists and we were having trouble finding a poodle we
decided to find out more about them.
The pictures in books give a very different picture to the dogs we
met when not groomed in the traditional way. They appeared to be the
perfect dog for us - not too big for me and not too small for my
husband and would enjoy a good walk. They have a curly coat,long
furry tail, long furry ears, a soft friendly face, long legs and a
wonderful nature, especially around my daughters,aged 6 and 8. We
were taken by them in every way.
We explained my daughters asthma and the breeder was very
sympathetic having had an son who was asthmatic as a child, but she
also had a bulldog. Before we visited the lady had cleaned and
separated the pups from the bulldog and my daughter cuddled and
stroked the pups and was ok for a while and just as we were about to
leave after 2 hours my daughter started wheezing. Not sure whether
the bulldog was tipping the balance I went back and 'borrowed' a pup
at the breeders suggestion yesterday (I dont expect there are too
many breeders who would do that!). By the time my daughter got home
the pup was bathed dried and petal cleansed for good measure. It
didn't take long before we heard a slight wheeze from my daughter,
which was soon resolved by her inhaler and again before she went to
bed. Enough evidence for me to see that it wasn't the bulldogs fault
after all. Therefore I am sitting typing and enjoying having a
lovely little bundle sleeping at my feet before I take her back to
the kind breeder. I thought of keeping her another night but I don't
really think it will achieve anything and we are just getting too
attached to her already. The breeder did suggest keeping the dog
outside in a kennel but I cant imagine doing that since I have
always considered dogs to be a part of the family.
Short of a miracle I don't think we are meant to have a dog but I
would definately recommend a lesser allergic person to check them
out.

I adopted my sweet golden puppy in January, and had a sinus

alot, do I have to get ride of pups
Today my daughter had an allergy test she is allergic to all kinds
of things. She has never really seemed like shed have allergies that
bad. We bought two yellow labs on Sunday and have had them in the
house, she might have sneezed 3 times since we have had them. The
nurse told me the need to go out side and if she touches them I need
to wash her from head to toe. I think its extreme since Ive never
seen any signs and we have had other dogs, but on the test dogs and
peanuts swole p the worst. As for the peanuts I wot give her an
agian but if an of yall understand them please explain, peanut
butter is her favorite she eats a jair a week and i have never seen
a reaction why is this?

Allergic to alot, do I have to get ride of pups
It is pretty tough for you. How old is she? My daughter(9) is
asthmatic and is allergic to peanuts, tree and grass pollens and pet
dander. It is not easy that you might have to get rid of pups but it
will work things out like you try to use allerpet products( helps to
reduce pet dander), buy air purfier, get rid of carpet, keep dogs
outside all the time, do not let dogs sleep in bedrooms, vacuum
often, etc.
My family wanted to have a dog(hypo-allerynic- means less allergy
not 100%) but I turned my daughter down because she might have worst
wheezing, rash, stuffy nose when a dog lives in the house for many
years. I don't want to risk her life. Plus, I don't want to spend
too much money for allergy products, prescriptions and allergy shots
(what if not working well). Too many prescriptions (side effects)
are not good for child's health. I wish she takes nothing but she
has to take daily since she was 3 years old.
I was 15 years old and I had really bad allergy-I could not breath
and had a lot of sneezes. I took tests and I was allergic to almost
all foods and pet dander! My German Shepard dog was living in my
house but never stayed in my bedroom. I got allergy shots and it
worked well. I played with him a lot and then changed my clothes
right away before I started sneeze again! Maybe allergy shots might
work for your daughter but how old is she. If she is so young, it
might not be good for her.
Good Luck!

Apr 7th, 2005 - 6:24 PM Re: My daughter had allergy test today
Allergic to alot, do I have to get ride of pups
Almost same situation! I copied and pasted this from other post I
wrote:
Let me give you a brief story. Two of my four children are
asthmatic. I did not even know anything about ezcema when my
daughter got at age of 2 months. Then she was allergic to peanuts at
age of 2. We had two gerbils and she was fine and pet them all the
time until gerbils died, At age of 3, she got asthma attack after
she got cold virus. She got rash on the back of legs when my
cousin's dogs were around. I didn't even know that she was allergic
to pet dander. My cousin wanted to give me one show pup but I was
not ready. Again, she played with other dogs and cats and later she
got watery eyes and itchy face. I figured out and she took allergy
tests and it was pet dander and grass and tree pollens. I was so mad
that we would not able to get any pets at all. A few months ago, we
went to see Coton breeder and wanted to see how reaction my
daughter(she is 9 now) was. She had no watery eyes and no itchy. She
was so excited but I had to turn her down because her pediatrican
said best advice is no dog in the house. If I get a dog, her
allergry will develop more and more or worse? So, it is better not
to consider a dog! I know she will not outgrow but allergies might
be much less. All dogs included hypoallergnic dogs like AHT, Coton
de Tulear can produce dander. My asthmatic son is not allergic to
pet dander and doesnt have ezcema- I am hoping he will outgrow soon.
Hope you understand about allergies and asthma. Another post I wrote
about best advice is no dog in the house. Life with my two asthamtic
children is not easy. Best wishes!
I know how upset or disappointed you are. I am, too. I have no idea
why my daughter has allergies and asthma. Family heredity or
enviroment?. She is happy with her life everyday. She enjoys music,
skating and writing.
You don't have to rid of carpet. My daughter has cleaned carpet in
her room since she was born. She is not allergic to dustmites. I
have to keep the windows closed all the time-pollens can enter the
house! I vacuum weekly but her room is messy! Many things- I learn
and I keep reducing her allergies during spring and summer. I am
thinking about buying air purfier for her room because she always
complains that she can't sleep well when her nostral is blocked.
Allergy prescriptions like singular, Zytec, etc. don't work at all.
So, she takes only nasal spray everyday (only spring and summer).
Also, she takes Advair daily for her asthma. She hates and is so
tired of it. If your daughter is not asthmatic, then she is so
lucky. She will be able to control her allergies when she gets
older. Right now, she is so little. Let's hope she will outgrow!
Hope your daughter will feel better soon after you can figure out
what things(suffed animals, chemical like bathroom cleaner, spray,
smoke, bad carpet, down(feathers-pet dander, too) pillow/comforter,
etc.) bother her. I am not much help.
Take care of her.

My daughter is allergic to dust mites, and they are watching to se

doesnt show signs of allergies, mabe every once in a while when the
pollen gets bad, why if these test are showing that shes allergic to
all these things ( dogs, peanuts, dustmites, trees, grass ect...)
why havent we been able to tell? The reason we had her tested is
every JAnuary she has gotten phnemonia, its really the only time of

Allergic to alot, do I have to get ride of pups
There are many many allergy suffers out there. You know I am
allergic to pet dander, dustmites, mold and almost all food except
nuts and fish only. I still can eat allergy food but not all the
times. My mother is allergic to penicillin but why my daughter is
asthmatic? That is my question and I need the answer but no doctor
know why body gets bad reactions. My daughter heard and hoped that
new vaccine for peanut-allergy people will be released soon but
still on trail right now. She wants to taste PB and dislikes soynut
butter.
I think the websites might help you undersand what allergy is all
about. I am member of AANMA.org and I learn a lot since my daughter
got asthma after allergies. Also, there is another website: aafa.org
I remember my daughter got phnemonia two times when she was 3 and 4.
It scared me to death! I had no idea what my daughter had bad cough
and had labor breaths. I took her to see Pediatrican and I was told
that I rushed her to the emergency room. Then she was taken by
ambluance to Children's Memorial Hospital. She got worst and was
taken to PICU overnight. I was so panicked and so upset. She got bad
pnemonia. She got better and the news what the specialist said was
shocked to me and my husband. She now had asthma. I did not know
what it was all about. I learned alot from doctor and websites. None
of my families has asthma. She is only one in the family but I am
glad that she is not alone and has youngest brother who is
asthmatic, too. They can share and learn about asthma and allergies.
Brother is allergic to peanut, too! They both can eat almond cookies
but I am allergic to it not peanut! I eat PB sanwich! Strange! I
think bodies have many different protien cells. I have no idea. I am
not allergy doctor!
Daily, my daughter takes peak flow(P.F.- it is measurement for
breath level. She blows and her lung is under control) twice a day.
She takes Advair twice a day. My son takes Pulmicort by nebulizer
and is learning how to blow with P.f. He is 4 1/2 years old.
Hope this helps you undrstand before it will happen to your daughter
in the future. Give pups good homes if your daughter is worst. Lab
pups shred too much and they are not good for allergy suffers. It is
up to you. If you want to keep them, then you might have to give
them bath a few times a month and vacuum very often. It is not easy
for you. And for me, too! My daughter gets sick easily because many
school kids have cold(flu) and cough and give her wheezing! I keep
telling her to wash her hands every time she gets home from school
and any places! She got wheezing 4 times last Feb.
Good Luck

Have you walked barefoot in the house before? How long have you
lived there with the dog? Do you know that you're allergic to dogs?
Have you or anyone shampooed the carpet recently and used commercial
carpet shampoos? Many people are allergic to those. If a carpet has
been shampooed with one of those and I walk on it barefoot within
several hours my feet will begin to itch, turn red and swell up.
It's very unpleasant. I hope you figure it out soon

Hi, my boyfriend and I are planning to buy a poodlexmaltese pup. But
we found out that he is allergic to them. When he touched them, 15
minutes later he got running rose, sneezing and itchy eyes.
So, after reading the discussion board, besides the tips offered by
Sweet Lucy, people were talking about this PetalCleanse product that
can kill the allergen.
Has anyone tried to use it?Does it really work?
I've heard about other similiar product called allerpet/d. Is this
good as well?
I live in australia, does anyone know where can I get such product?
We will greatly appreciate any help. Since we have been fallen in

Dear Shirley,
I would like to say that petal cleanse is the miracle its cracked up
to be and it may well be for some people but it didn't help my
family. My daughter becomes very 'wheezy' around dogs and we have
tried petal cleanse on several dogs before she has gone anywhere
near them but she still ends up wheezing if she is in the same room
as them. I'm not sure if it helps but it doesn't seem to. I even
gave it another go after reading some other testamonials on its
success on this website but to no avail. It may well help with
different types of reaction but my daughters only problem is asthma.
she doesn't sneeze or get itchy eyes although her eyes will come up
if she touches a dog and rubs her eyes without washing her hands or
if she is licked by a dog.
If you can get hold of petal cleanse or a similar product it might
be worth a try on the pup before you bring it home or buy the pup.
Also they say bathing the dog regularly can help and just being
particular with handwashing after touching a dog can help.
Either way I wish you luck but I would not get a dog on the strength
of these so called miracle cures working just in case they don't but
there is no harm in trying them out first.

Hi mand,
Thank you for your advice. I am planning to try the product first on
my friend's dog so how it works. I cant find the petal cleanse
product since I live in Victoria. But I will try another similiar
product called allerpet.
Hope it works.
