Allergy medications are likely to help control symptoms, but in many instances symptoms may persist if the person owns dogs. Allergy shots may be a good treatment option, they work better for some people than others. You'd need to talk to your doctor about this to see if shots would be something that would work for you.
Some people can be allergic to certain breeds of dogs and not to other breeds. While there is no such thing as a non-allergenic dog, some breeds can cause less Allergies than other breeds. Here is a list of low-allergen Dog Breeds that may be better tolerated by people with dog allergy:
Poodle and Poodle Hybrids (such as a Cockerpoo, or a Labradoodle)
Schnauzers
Portuguese Water Dog
Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier
Bichon Frise
Lhasa Apso
Carin
Italian Greyhound
Each person has a unique allergic threshold; this makes it impossible to generalize about hypoallergenic dog breeds. If f you are attracted to one of the recommended breeds, find a breeder and spend some time at the breeder's place of business. While there, remain aware of how you are feeling; are your usual allergic symptoms acting-up? This is the true pet allergy test; how you are feeling while visiting the breed you're interested in! See if the breeder you're dealing with has a return policy. This will allow you to spend time with a dog to truly assess its affect on your health.
