From a large Swedish study that has latest found, suggest exposure with dog dander in infancy may be beneficial. Children who had grown up with a dog were less likely to have asthma than children without dogs. Exposure to a dog since infancy has 13% to lower risk of asthma in later childhood among the 650,000 children that the authors tracked. The findings, in JAMA Pediatrics, support the idea that pets can bolster the immune system and prevent allergy. Living on a farm with lots of animals seemed to confer more protection, cutting the risk of asthma by about 50% which is consistent with the hygiene hypothesis that favours exposure to dust and dirt to improve our tolerance of common allergens.
The parent should not worry about getting a dog or a puppy. But if you have an allergic child you should not get a dog to cure your child. It will probably make the allergy worse.
