Poodles and kids with dog allergy
My daughter has been allergic to dogs (both saliva and fur) since she was quite young. I later discovered she also has allergies to cats, but that’s a different topic. Now at 6 years old, her allergies are still present, but I recently found that she doesn’t have a strong reaction to Golden Doodles. This has inspired me to research hypoallergenic dog breeds. While I understand that truly hypoallergenic breeds don’t exist, some, like Poodles, may result in fewer allergic reactions.
I’m reaching out to see if there are any fellow allergy sufferers here who own Poodles and have noticed a reduction in their allergy symptoms.
Additionally, I'm curious if starting Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT) in childhood can help diminish dog allergies into adulthood and possibly even alleviate asthma symptoms as a bonus. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
