You might think you have a dog allergy if you get red and itchy eyes, a runny nose, or find yourself sneezing when you are around dogs. An allergist can properly diagnose a dog allergy by doing a skin or a blood test.

Can you be allergic to Dachshunds if you have COPD?

Depends on the person. You can have a dog allergy but no COPD, COPD but no dog allergy, or COPD and dog allergy.I recommend you do an allergy test to see if you are allergic to dogs. If it comes positive, you can still have certain breeds of hypoallergenic dogs. I added a link for you in the related links section with an article that explains what makes a dog hypoallergenic and lists breeds you could consider (and avoid!) if you have a dog allergy. Also, if you do have one, you should take to your doctor before making a decision on whether or not to get a dog.


My family don't know weather to get a dog my brother's asthmatic but we think he is only allergic to cats should we risk it?

I would not purchase a dog before knowing if your Brother is allergic to dogs or not. What the humans normally react to is the dander in the pet's hair. Why not try taking your brother on a visit to an Animal Shelter and look at all the animals, which will also expose your brother to the dogs. Then see how he reacts after he gets home, try this on various days to really expose him to the dogs, stay away from the cats though. Or you could try having a friend bring their dog over on numerous days to visit at your house when your brother is there and see if any allergic reactions occur from your brother. This way you will know if he is allergic to dogs or not. It is not fair to a dog to be purchased then tossed away if your brother does end up being allergic to them

Do dogs think that humans are just large dogs?

Dogs see humans as the same as them. But if we treat them as dogs then they realise we are a higher level than them. Not that we should hit them or anything. But if they're begging or something then you should discipline them. But you probably already know that. But yes dogs do see us as other dogs.

Do poodles trigger allergic rhinitis?

The Poodle is a non-shedding breed, and a good choice for people with allergies. Many allergic people are able to keep a Poodle with no reaction. However not all dog allergies are to just the dog dander; some people are allergic to dog saliva so there would still be a reaction. See if you can visit a breeder to see if you aren't sure if you are allergic.
