Question
i don't know if i am allergic to my dog or my house. if i am allergic to my dog
what should i do. how do i manage having one and being able to breath

Answer
Lyvonne,
If possible, you should go in and get tested for a specific allergy to dogs. If you are allergic to your dog then you need to decide whether or not you can deal with the allergy. You could also try a medication such as singulair to help with your symptoms.
