Iv been considering getting a dog for some time. A few things have put me off but I'm working on them. I now no longer work so I'm always around. My ds1 has asd which put me off but Iv read a lot about the benefit (i wouldn't go into this blindly have been doing so much research) and both ds have asthma. We have never had animals in the house so I'm unsure of how a dog would affect their asthma? My sister and brother have dogs and they seem fine being around them for a few hours. If dogs were going to trigger asthma would it be immediate- ish affect or would it take a few days to build up??? I see there are hyper allergenic dogs also which apparently both my brothers and sisters dogs are anyway... Just after some experiences really?
