A member asked:
Can i take allergy desensitizing shots if i have allergies to dogs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Desensitization shots can work for allergies to pet dander. The doctor should do testing, to make sure that the allergy is actually to the pet and not something else associated in the same area.
