[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1285612, member: 1242"] I have an allergy to dogs, as well as cats. I also have had 2 or 3 dogs and anywhere from 3 to 7 cats my entire adult life. My dad was a vet, so not being around animals was really not an option when I was a kiddo. :werd: All of my pets come in and out of the house as they please (much to GC's chagrin). Jackie never leaves my side. I would be careful about bathing a boxer (actually any dog) that much. Might dry out his skin and create more problems for you. Try every couple of weeks at first and if you can go to every month for a bath and get the waterless shampoo that Furminator puts out to use inbetween. Get the HEPA filters for your AC/Heat. Have the vents cleaned every 6 months and keep everything spic and span. My dad gave me a half the recommended dose of benedryl whether I was symptomatic or not. I am not suggesting you medicate your child, just telling you what worked for us. If you can put down hardwood or tile all through the house and use areas rugs but have them cleaned regularly. My allergies are not nearly as bad as they used to be. I only take benedryl now in the fall and I think that has more to do with grass and tree pollen than the dogs and cats. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
