Dogs and allergies

How to choose a dog

There's no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, according to Dr. Chris Rutkowski, allergist, quoted in Good Housekeeping. He says allergens exist on the skin and in urine and saliva of dogs; not just the fur. It also doesn't make a difference if the dog doesn't shed much. Immunotherapy might be one approach to allergies. Also, newer antihistamines such as fexofenadine can help.
