Do allergies towards a dog exist the older they get?
Hi everyone!
I've tried doing some digging but couldn't find an answer. Basically, my brother has a Pomeranian mix (not too sure what else it's mixed with) and I've noticed that the older he's gotten that my allergies have really acted up when I'm around him. Anytime I go to my brothers house my allergies get so bad even when they put him in the basement. I don't think it has anything to do with his house either because he's come over before and my allergies acted up too. Initially when he first got him all was well but in the last few years the older he's gotten the more my allergies towards him acted up. I take Claritin beforehand but that doesn't seem to help. Do allergies towards a dog exist the older they get? I'm worried because the dog I have is his daughter and she's a Pomeranian Chihuahua mix. I'm worried I'll develop an allergy towards her too :(. Any recommendations or remedies or general knowledge on this matter would be a great help. Thank you in advance!
Not sure what the ages are, but in general puppies and adult dogs have different types of fur/hair so it's possible to not be allergic while the dog is a puppy then be allergic to the adult.
