Effective Dog Allergy Treatment And Tips?
Many people long to adopt a canine companion, yet find themselves hindered by pesky dog allergies. These allergies are generally due to to an allergen called Can f 1, which is found in a dog’s saliva. However, many people also find themselves allergic to pet dander, or a dog’s skin dead skin cells, and dog urine. While dog allergies are less common than cat allergies, many people find themselves allergic to dogs, which can easily become irritating when in the home of a pet owner and in a variety of public places. Along with making dog ownership uncomfortable, these allergies can interfere with a person’s daily life. Fortunately, those that are allergic to dogs have a number of different options regarding dog allergy treatment. Dog Allergy Treatment Options Many people believe that certain breeds of dogs are non-allergenic. While some breeds may be less irritating on those with dog allergies, no breed is completely non-allergenic. Mainly, these breeds are said to be non-allergenic because they shed very little. However, because many people are allergic to a dog’s saliva and/or urine, the lack of shedding may only partially improve one’s allergies. In addition, certain breeds may affect an allergic person differently. One breed may cause sever reactions, while another breed may cause a very small reaction. Therefore, if a person finds themselves allergic to dogs, yet still desires a canine companion, he or she may want to test a variety of breeds to determine if a certain breed would be a suitable pet. Another option when treating dog allergies is to take advantage of allergy medications or allergy shots. Allergy medications are a great option for those that are going to be around another person’s dog or in a home or location where there is a dog present. Allergy shots are a more preferable option for those that are allergic to their own pet dog. This is because the affects of an allergy shot are longer lasting and will provide better allergy control. When treated properly, it is possible for those with dog allergies to control these allergies and may even be possible to become a dog owner.

Do terrier- poodle mix dogs have allergies?
I think this is a very, very good question. Usually, when you get a mix with a poodle, they are hypoallergenic. But sometimes when you get a dog that's mixed with a poodle, there is too much of the other dog that you want to breed with the poodles, and you may have allergies. I have two pure poodles and poodles are just great. If you want a dog and are worried that you may have allergies, get a poodle and you will be very happy with him/her. Some people just don't like the silly haircuts that you do to poodles but I don't do that to my dogs. That style is just for shows.
