a pet that is okay with allergy suffers. Not an arachnid or scorpion please. Nor turtles or gold fish?

Bischon Frise (I think that’s how you spell it…) It’s a dog that doesn’t shed and has very minimal dander. My aunt has one and she’s freakin’ adorable.

Some dogs have hair instead of fur, for instance my dog is a soft coated irish wheaten terrier and his coat is all hair.

The labradoodle. I have horrible allergies and I saw on TV about the new Labradore retriever and poodle mix dog for allergy suffers. She is too cute and very smart, she looks like a lab with slightly curley hair on the tips. She sheds hardly at all and I have had no problems with allergies at all, and she stays indoors a lot. Look them up, there are breeders everywhere.

shih tzu’s are good for people with allergies, however not for everyone. you should be around one for a day and see if it affects you, hopefully it wont.

Get a poodle. They do not shed. Go to a dog park or somewhere and visit one and see how your allergies are around it.
There are also hairless critters out there…
Good luck!

Hi there!!!!
Well, my little brother is allergic to everything it seems like, and he has a lot of health problems. If you wanted to get a dog, and not a little dog, a Laberdoodle. Okay, so I don’t know how to spell it, I am kinda having a thinkin problem.. but anywho. They do not shed, the fur on them is more of a wiry type. They are virtually dander-free too. My brothers is about the best dog that I have ever come across, and anyone else that I know that has one loves them too! I hope this helps you in your search!

Miniature Daschunds have very short hairs and dont’ shed much.

Poodles, definitly poodles. Mine is a black toy poodle and he is great fun. My mother is allergic and she has a toy grey poodle. Very sweet. Neither of our poodles are snappy or bite. Good luck. CE

Raise 2 male Beta fish in 2 seperate tanks. After a while, put them 2gether. The one that survives will be ur new pet.

you can always get a hairless cat…

I suggest a poodle. Or something mixed with a poodle, like a cockapoo. I just wanted to comment on the answer above… the hairless types of animals actually cause the same amount of allergies, because the skin.
Good luck!
How about birds?

u can sometimes get a hairless animal liek a hairless cat but they are sometimes hard to find and they arent very cute but sometimes you jsut have to live wiht it

I guess maybe a sphinx cat. They don’t have any fur. Unfortunately they are incredibly rare and most likely very expensive. Other than the other animals you mentioned I guess your only option would be to take zyrtek or whatever.

Poodles and greyhounds are less allergenic than most.
Also, most people are okay with birds.
However, I make no guarantees.
You didn’t eliminate snakes or lizards, so I don’t know how you feel about them, but they don’t cause allergies. They do need to eat live food, though, most of them. Plant-eating lizards are harder to care for, but there are people who love them a lot.

If you like dogs, llaso apsos (spelling?). My friend has severe dander allergies but was raised with one.
Rodents such as hamsters, gerbils, rats are nice.

What about a snake? I think they are very cool, but i’m not scared of them. There are a lot of snakes that are very docile, and non-venomous. Or you could try getting a sphinx cat, or maybe even a cornish rex or a devin rex. They are cat breeds that have VERY short wavy hair. I think they are kinda cute. I’m not sure how they are for allergies though. Or you could get one of those mexican hairless dogs. A bird might be cool too. I know a lady who has two african gray parrots, and they actually have really cute personalities. They tease her dog all the time.
Or you can try just taking allergy medication. I know a few girls who went to Veterinary Technician school with me, and they just had to take medication, cause they wanted to work with animals so bad. Good Luck finding your perfect pet!

GET A RAT! They are easy to look after, eat everything (no seriously, literally everything) and are so cute! We have four of them, and they are just great! Each one has it’s own personality. Ours are toilet trained, so it makes life a little bit easier. Rats are social animals, so they are better with having a play mate too. If you only have one, make sure you spend LOTS of time with it, as they love company! You can get males castrated. We got ours done.
GOOD LUCK!
