A member asked:

If i tough out my allergies to my dog for long enough will my body eventually get used to it (like with allergy shots)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergy shots: Do help. But. , first get evaluated and discuss this with your allergist to find out if you are truly allergic to dogs. You could have other issues and be sensitive to other stuff, too.
