Hi I have been trying to get a pet for a while, unfortunately I live with a person who’s extremely allergic to pet dander. What kind of pets would you suggest having that would be safe, specially having it around to someone with allergies?

Fish. The Hypo-allregenic dogs can still cause a problem if the person is severely allergic.

I have heard tell that many people who are allergic to many pets are not allergic to pot bellied pigs. You might want to research that first. I can’t recall exactly what program I heard that on, but I think it was something on Animal Planet.

i’m in the same boat when i go to visit family that have pets. it makes me sick. so i take extra caution now days. you can get a snake or a lizard. they are very low maintenance. i had a lizard for several years. never once got sick.

a Bat it can come out while your friend is in bed at night.
Otherwise you wont know until your friend comes into contact with your chosen pet.

is a list of dogs that might work…but you would need to check it out first. We have a Standard (tall - 50 lbs) poodle and without problem while others dogs set off asthma. I hope you find something cuddly that works for you and your allergic housemate.

I grew out of my allergy to cats when we started keeping them as pets. I don’t know how severe the person’s allergies are though… mine were pretty bad, but I was young when they were at their worst.
I would suggest getting a hermit crab. They are really cute, and have a lot of personality. Almost as good as a dog.

I have a sphynx (hairless cat) and she is soooooooo cool. Looks funny but I have to bath her every two weeks or so and she smells nothing like a normal cat. My best friend who is allergic does fine with the cat. For a dog you should check on a Bichon Frise’.
Sphynx’s are very expensive but they are more like a monkey/dog/human and are worth it!!

my partner is allergic to pet hair so we got a dog that does not shed its fur, he`s a cross between a poodle/beegion (sorry don’t know if I’ve spelt that correctly). Or i have a rat and she is lovely and i havent noticed any fur come from her. p.s i think scarliiit has spelt it correctly.
