A member asked:
I'm allergic to dust and dogs however i've always wanted a puppy of my own. do you think it would be possible to own a dog if it is hypoallergenic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such thing: A recent study showed that there is no such thing as hypoallergenic dog. In fact, these so-called hypoallergenic dogs actually put out more allergens than the poodles themselves. Your best bed is consulting an allergist who may be able to help you to get you wish.
