A member asked:

What to do if i have sevear asthma and dog allergies can i get a dog?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You're kidding: The two issues seem incompatible. You state your asthma is severe, so why would you want to risk life with this type of pet ? I know of no foolproof way of ending the allergy.If it means a lot to you, consult with an allergist and see if they can desensitize you to dog dander and end that issue.
