Got a call from a lady asking for help to rehome her 2 shetland sheepdogs. Young ones of about 3 years. She always had an asthma problem but recently, it has gotten worse, so are her 2 young kids affected.
Well, I never have asthma problems before so I would not understand their discomfort (runny nose, coughing, sneezing). She had tried her best to keep the house clean of dog fur, but shelties tend to shed quite a bit and I guess there's no way to be completely fur-free at all times.
I'm not too familiar with asthma and dogs, will do some reading up later.
* For now, if anyone of you have good info or are yourself asthmatic but living fine with dogs, please share with us what are the things the family can do to make it possible for them to still keep their dogs, without too much discomfort or hindrances to their health.
