Sorry, no. The Pomeranian is not considered to be a low allergen
dog.

Boarding kennel is a good idea. After taking your dog to a boarding
kennel, vacuum and clean your house as thoroughly as possible. Wash
and put away in plastic bags anything that your dog uses, like his
bed and soft toys. Air the house by opening several windows for
through drafts.
If you cannot board your dog, give him a bath with a mild dog
shampoo. Wash all his bedding, soft toys, and anything else he might
have. Vacuum,clean, and air your house thoroughly. Keep the dog away
in a separate room with the door closed, away from your boyfriend.
If you don't have a separate room, try the bathroom. If you have a
HEPA aircleaner, keep it on all the time in the room where your
boyfriend is.
If your boyfriend doesn't use prescription allergy meds, you can buy
non-drowsy over-the-counter Claritin (or generic, check the labels
for the active ingredient) to help calm down his allergic reactions.

Jul 27, 05 - 5:14 PM Do Allergy Shots Work / Help ?
I was at the petstore the other day and I found a website (collierescurenetwork.com)
and I saw one of the collies and fell in love with him the moment I
saw his picture. My sister and mom also want to adopt this dog.
The problem is my dad! He says he can't live with a dog so we arent
allowed to get one. He has been getting allergy shots for years now.
Now heres the question : Do allergy shots work ? I keep saying to
him "If you cant live with a dog and youre still getting shots, then
whats the point if they dont work!?" He's had 2 dogs before but only
when I was really small. Both were hit o the road, but apparently,
even without the shots back then my dad was fine!

I tried 'em (for mold allergies, not dog allergies) and they
helped...a tiny bit. But I still moved out of state as soon as
possible. On the other hand, I know people who they worked perfectly
for. They started taking them, and Bam, allergies were a thing of
the past. I think each person is just different. If he's like me,
your dad might be able to pet a dog because of the allergy shot, but
wouldn't be able to live with one.

May 10th, 2006 - 3:45 AM Re: Do Allergy Shots Work / Help ?
According to allergists my husband and I have seen, dog allergies
are the most difficult to treat, and often become progressively
worse as a person ages. So, just because dad survived dogs years ago
doesn't mean he'll survive them now. And, think of it this way: the
shots may keep him from having a sudden attack in a place he cannot
control outside home. Please have compassion for your father. He is
probably tired of defending himself, tired of trying to convince
people, people who say they love him, that he has allergies.. I love
dogs, but as a kid, my mom was serverely allergic to them (now I am,
too). We had to make a lot of sacrafices for her. Someday, when you
don't live with dad, you can decide to get a pet of your own. But,
if you love him, please keep his home a safe place for him to
breathe. Someday, like me, it may be you that wants your family to
understand.

Mar 20, 06 - 10:01 AM My 5 year old is allergic to dander and
saliva...
he breaks out in a rash/hives wherever he gets licked, eyes run, and
he starts wheezing. My sister-in-law just got a german shepherd mix,
which is an indoor dog. She wants us to come and visit, but I'm
concerned about the effects on our son. Is there a way to safely
visit them? My son's health definitely comes first!

I love you Cindy! Thanks for putting your child first! My husband
and I are allergic to dogs, and in the past, we've worn ventilated
dust masks to our family's houses to help us breathe, Unfortunately,
they are hot and uncomfortable and we look crazy, and our allergies
have progressed to the point that we still have attacks even with
masks on. BUT, you might give it a try.

May 16, 06 - 6:57 AM First meeting elsewhere
Own a German Shepherd and a Siberian Husky whom I really care for
but lots of hair. Have corresponded a couple months w/a great guy
online who is allergic to dogs. Should our first face-to-face
meeting, in June, be away from my house or should I try the
environmental scrubbing etc. and invite him here? Thanks for any
tips.

Kris
May 16th, 2006 - 10:07 AM Re: First meeting elsewhere
Unfortunately, German Shepherds and Huskies are thought to be more
likely than average to trigger allergies in sensitive people. In
general, these are breeds that dog allergic people should avoid.
For your own safety, I would meet in a public place when meeting for
the first time. Later, if you feel like it, you could invite him
over and see how he reacts to your dogs. If he cannot tolerate your
dogs allergywise, they won't be much of a chance for a
relationship...
Before he comes over, give both of your dogs a bath. Vacuum and
clean your house thoroughy. Wash all your dogs' bedding and toys.
Open the windows and air out your house.
Let us know how it goes with the dogs.
Good luck!

Jun 5, 06 - 8:29 AM Lhasa Apso & Caniche
Good Morning,
I just purchased a 7 week old mix of lhasa apso and caniche. Now my
sister wants to purchase the sister, but her husband seems to have
allergies.
He spent 2 hours at my house and only after he left did he begin to
have itchy eyes and runny nose.
Does anyone know about this type of dog, and if he only reacts after
2 hours, is it a major problem to get the dog???
Thx

My daughter is allergic to pet dander among other things. She really
wants a dog, along with our other kids, and we've been researching
Chavachons (Bichon Frise/Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cross breed)
and have heard they have little to no shedding but does anyone know
if they have little to no dander? That is what she is allergic to.

Are you itching all over ? I need to know, I have never had a
problem with dogs in my entire life. A couple weeks ago my grandma
passed away and I was lucky enough to get her dog. He sleeps with me
and sits on my lap all the time. I have been itching all over every
since. I am trying to find out if I it is an allergy to. I have been
to the doctor and she says I just have hives. Gave me this medicine
but it doesnt work. How about you?

If you are itching and your symptoms started when
you got the dog (and nothing else changed in your immediate
environment), it is very likely that you are indeed allergic to the
dog.

Jul 15, 06 - 1:42 PM Once allergic are you always allergic
Hi! We were going to get a dog, while looking at them i relized my
six year old is having a reaction. sneezing,rash and itching. We
tried three breeds. two low dander, less reation but still had one.
She has never been allergic to anything. Is there a chance she will
grow out of it?

Jul 15, 06 - 10:40 AM Chinese crested's father is podwer puff and
mother is hairless one
I'm thinking of getting a chinese crested puppy. I have surfed
breeders' websites and I found out that many of the breeders mixes
powderpuff and hairless ones to get hairless and powderpuff puppies.
So is it safe for me as an allergic person to get one of these mixed
puppies? Are the hairless ones still "lower dander" dogs?
This may be a stupid question. I just wonder because on this website
hasn't any information of powderpuffs?
(sorry for my bad english)

Jul 16th, 2006 - 11:05 AM Re: Chinese crested's father is podwer
puff and mother is hairless one
Hairless and powderpuff Chinese Cresteds are one breed. They
naturally occur together in litters. If you are allergic to dogs,
the hairless Crested is a better choice for you. Visit a local
Crested breeder to test your allergies.
Xolos and Peruvian Hairless dogs also have dominant hairlessness and
thus have both hairless and coated pups in their litters.
Only the American Hairless Terrier has recessive hairlessness -
hairless parents can only produce hairless puppies.

Jul 20, 06 - 5:05 PM Heart problems from dog
Recently we purchased a border collie cross puppy that now lives
inside.
Since living with the dog I have experienced severe heart and gut
pains.
Nothing else in my environment or living style has changed - other
than I have stopped exercise.
I went to my naturopath who has a long successful history of looking
after me, and uses a Vega machine to detect allergies.
He has said that my intestines are "cold" - the next stage being
they will become blocked - which is not good at all and he also
asked me if I had heart pains - he volunteered this before I told
him I have.
He gave me some liver cleanser and ran an ultrasound on my
intestines to "heat" up the area. This relieved the pain
temporarily. He also said that the pains were from an allergy to the
dogs sweat, and that cross breeds have a tendency to sweat more due
to larger pores - puppy is a male by the way.
He is away presently and about to retire, unfortunately the pains
have become unbearable and I am now booking into seeing a doctor for
heart scans I am 37 and relatively fit.
Has anyone had any similar issues with heart pains after getting a
dog?
