Recent research has shown that children raised with a dog in the home have a lower instance of asthma when they get older. These children also have fewer allergies.
No! They are actually very bad for children with asthma! This is because the air that comes out of humidifiers is not always clean or fresh air! Hope this helps! :D
i would suggest a shih tzu as a dog for a child because they don't shed but unless your child is allergic to dogs it shouldn't effect Yorkshire terriers are bad around children, period. They are overly needy, aggressive, and nearly impossible to completely housetrain. Get a golden retriever or another actual dog. Yorkies have not earned that title. As someone with asthma, and children with asthma, I do NOT suggest a shihtzu; my grandmother has one, and it actually does bother my asthma and allergies. Our YORKIE is great with our kids and all of our friend's kids...he LOVES to play (nicely) with them and has never gotten aggressive with them. His hair doesn't bother any of our allergies or asthma...he's PERFECT!!
yes old English sheep dogs do not go with asthma only because they slaver i have two English sheep dogs and my little boy has asthma i have to get rid of one because my boy is suffering . they are not as bad as some dog can be but are still bad one of the worst dogs with asthma a lab doodle and a Labrador . one would not be to bad but two is something Else but really old English seep dogs are the best.
i wouldn't say they are good for asma but they're not bad for asma either unless the child is alergic to dogs which you can get tested with your allergist
I wouldn't recommend a lab for a child who has asthma only because labs shed a lot. I have a cousin who has bad asthma and he cannot be around my labrador. I would recommend a dog that won't shed such as a Bernese Mountain dog. They do not shed and the oils on their skin will not affect someone with asthma.
nearly 9,000,000 children suffer from asthma
you cant catch asthma
yes, bad asthma
Many children cough a lot if they have asthma and they have attacks sometimes.
In the UK, it is estimated that around 1 in 11 children have asthma, which equates to approximately 1.1 million children. Asthma is one of the most common long-term medical conditions in children in the UK.
