We are thinking about getting a pug, but one problem is that pugs shed alot. I want to know if shedding can affect someone with asthma.

Ask your doctor. Maybe it will help to brush and bathe the dog regularly. You can always get an air purifier, too.

Yes, they effect in a negative way. I have asthma so I know that shedding dogs+ asthma=TROUBLE!! I also have allergies so shedding makes them worse too.

It would depend on what triggers the asthma. I have asthma and three dogs that shed a LOT- No problem. Mowing the lawn - problem. Sudden weather change - problem. Strong cleaners - problem. Dogs, cats, horses, birds,etc., - no problem.

I Dont Think So…
I Have A Pug & My Cousin Has Asthma.
ROUGH asthma.
If It doesnt effect my cousin.
it shouldnt do any harm to them.
But Just in Case.
Check In With A Doctor.
