Ask your father what pet he is NOT allergic to.

A Rex bunny. My son is allergic to animals, but the Rex fur is so fine, that it never bothered him they shed lightly 2x a year, and ours lived in the kitchen, used a litter box, and was a delightful pet. He learned his name and how to beg, and if we let him out, he went back to his cage to use the restroom.But if it is your pet, it is your responsibility, right? you have to clean the cage, and feed it, and love it. I am sure at 10 you can handle the work–good luck!!

Ur 10? Well then, a Niked Mole Rat might suffice, or even a Skink or Anole…I had An Anole once…Cute, fast, and very fragilish

It depends on what type of allergies your dad has. Some people like myself are allergic to cats but not dogs, Others are allergic to both. More info is needed to really give you an answer.

Tell your dad to take his medicine and get any pet you like.

Fish, for sure. But if you want something that you can interact with a bit more, tree frogs are great fun. I have horrible allergies and I’ve had both of those as pets.
The things you have to avoid are anything that has dander. Cats are usually the worst. Most dogs are a problem, although I had poodles when I was growing up and never showed any allergy to them. They don’t really shed, so that’s probably why it wasn’t so bad.

Get a Schnoodle. It is a mix between a toy Poodle and a Schnauzer. They have hair, not fur, and no dander. They are basically Hypo-allergenic dogs. They are very sweet, good tempered, loyal, and very smart. They are also VERY CUTE!

It really depends on what your allergies are.
I’d recommend fish, or something maybe that you can keep outside. Hamsters or gerbils or mice if you’re not afraid to play with those might work, too, if your dad isn’t allergic to all animal fur. Hamsters are pretty easy to take care of (I had one when I was younger than you). Or if you’re really into it you could try spiders or snakes, or even a lizard (again, pretty easy… I had one growing up). Maybe even a hermit crab. You could try a bird. Just look around at your local petstores for some ideas.

LOL just kidding

poodles are great for people who are allergic. Get a toy poodle if you want something small.

Most people with pet allergies are allergic to the pet dander. Pets with short hair usually have less dander. You should probably get something small that isn’t roaming throughout the house - a hamster, gerbil, etc. To be really safe, get a hairless critter, such as a turtle, iguana, fish, and so on.

Nobody is allergic to Poodles. If your dad is allergic to dogs he wont be with a poodle or a poodle mix like a schnoodle (i like these better). Ask him what exactly he is allergic to. He may be just with cats or cats with certain types of fur, I’m only allergic to cats with the really fluffy long fur. Maybe try a guine pig, hamster, rat, fish, or gerbal. Go to a pet store with your parents and see what they like! Good luck!
