My boyfriend is allergic to dogs and cats but I have a beautiful big dog (yellow lab mix) who I love to death. My bf currently takes Allegra for his allergies and it helps;he doesn’t have much of a reaction usually but I am wondering if there is a better medication specifically for indoor/pet allergies. He has tried Benadryll and Clartin; both do not work as well and cause him to become sleepy.
Thanks for the info so far; I should mention that because of his allergy to dogs, my bf doesn’t really like them at all whicxh upsets me sometimes. While he doesn’t hate them, he could care less about them, so he wouldn’t be a candidate for the shots but maybe a pill, especailly one that you can use situational.

Hey there!
I used to be really allergic to cats, i got an allergy shot every week and now I can be around cats no problemo!
Have him talk to his doctor and see what they can do!

I would suggest Zyrtec.
