Allergies to pets with fur or feathers are common, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have pets.
You can keep your four-legged (or two-legged) friend in your home if your allergies are not life threatening. Going to the doctor to find out what triggers your allergies is the first thing you should do. Your doctor may recommend antihistamines and steroids to help you manage your allergies.

If you are considering acquiring a pet, I advise you to spend a couple of hours at the breeder's house to see if you are allergic.
