My husband is allergic to animals, yet we want a pet . . . please help?

here's an interesting link:

As it states, Hypoallergenic means less reaction, but not "No" reaction. You may take hubby to play with the new pup before purchasing.

Shaving a dog doesn't tend to help, the oils and dander are still produced, which is what causes problem with most people.

Good luck!

Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Not officially hypoallergenic but pretty much zero shedding, or few people are allergic to. Also, fantastic personality.

Otherwise fish.

Chihuahua's are good pets for people with allergies. They are also known to help people with asthma.

My cousin had asthma when he was little and hisdoctor recomended them getting a chihuahua. They've had one ever since and my cousin has no asthma. P.S. I think I'm spelling chihuahua wrong.

chinchilla they are the best pets for people with asthma or allergies. but make sure your in it for the long haul, they live 15-25 years. they are the sweetest little things.

If worse comes to worse...get some fish...low maintenance and they're pretty to look at. Just a thought.

i suffer lots of pet allergies cats especially but i find that after a short period of time being exposed to them they dont bother me

get a hairless pet!? but they are kind of ugly. or you could see if you can find some medicine for him or live without a pet.

a hairless cat or chinese crested dog no fur whatsoever

dump your husband or thown your pet away, hopes this help

you can get a chihuahua and shave him/her.
