See a Doctor/Allergist. My doctor gave me a prescription to Allegra. A 24 hour allergy pill.
Wash your dog each week with non-perfumey moisture shampoo. Comb your dog every few days.
Cheapest is wear a face mask when with your dog.

Talk to your doctor about an allergy medication (for you) that works well with pet dander (generally, if you are allergic to cats, your allergic to dogs.). You may have to take a pill and a nasal spray. Also bathe and brush your dog regularly, vacuum and wash his bed on a weekly basis.
Dogs that are good for people with allergies are the dogs with only 1 coat: schnauzers, poodles, etc.

I think that if you are allergic to dogs, the only dog you can possibly have is a hairless one (given that I don't think a lot of them are very attractive). You should check with your doctor to see if you are allergic and if you are, maybe he can give you treatment for it. Like a shot every week to suspend your allergies. See your doctor to make sure.

you may be allergic to the hair or whatever the dog was rolling in that day. For the longest time they though i was allergic to cats, but we found out that i was allergic to the bush they were rubbing up against in my backyard. So it could be many different things. It may or may not be your dog!

I dont know how much it would help, but have you tried talking to a doctor about these allergies? Im very allergic to cats but ever since my doctor put me on some allergy medications, I have been doing great.

I would tell the doctor for one thing. the only cats and dogs you would not be allergic to are the hairless breeds. they look like shaved rats, though!!
My husband is allergic to cats and we have 3 of them. He uses Flonase and Claritin

You need to check with a doctor before you jump to any conclusions, but if this is the first time you've ever had any reaction at all, you may be OK. If you do get another dog, get either a poodle or bichon frieze (sp?)--they don't have fur, they have hair.

It sounds like your are generally alergic to animal dander. I have heard of a production at the pet stores that you can brush into your pets hair to prevent alergic reactions. I have no idea how it works but it probably prevents them from spreading dander everywhere.

You should really go to your doctor and get tested for different things you might be allergic to, they might be able to help with medications.
