Your dog returns to you less sensitive to the allergens!
It would seem that the presence of a dog in the residence limits the development of the allergic diseases. Indeed, the fact of having a dog would decrease the appearance of sensitivity to the respiratory allergens like pollens.
In the event of allergy, ousting of the allergens
The solution which is binding to the allergic people is of évincer the allergens to which they are sensitive. If it is sometimes possible to limit them, it is on the other hand impossible to eliminate a great quantity from the respiratory allergens: pollens, dust, tobacco, hairs of animals, etc, and the treatments are sometimes necessary.
Prevention of the allergy, of the recommendations which evolve/move
Classically, to limit the development of an allergy, certain measurements were recommended: no the animals in the room, not of carpet, not of picnic nor of walk in the countryside at the time of the pollinic peaks, not of exposure to passive smoking, etc Certaines of these measurements are called into question, in particular the presence of an animal in the residence.
The presence of a dog decreases the sensitivity to the other respiratory allergens
Concerning the pets, knowledge progressed. To limit the development of the allergies, it was for a long time recommended to avoid having animals with hairs, dogs and cats. It would seem that the dogs are not harmful, even rather beneficial.
In this German study, 3.000 children were followed birth until the 6 years age. Their living conditions and their contacts with various allergens were analyzed using questionnaires filled out by the parents. A relation was thus highlighted: the fact of having a dog at the house decreases the sensitivity of the children to the other respiratory allergens. Thus, the children who live with a dog are less sensitive to pollens and the other inhaled allergens.
It is still too early to advise a dog in all the hearths, from where need for continuing the studies in this direction.
The pets are beneficial with all the family
Definitely, the pets are likely to bring much in term of health to their Master and all the family. The dogs, particularly, offer a company on which one can count constantly, which reinforces the moral one, they imposes daily walks to you, which makes make physical-activity, and decreases the risks of respiratory allergy.
