Thanks everyone for the tips! I would like to get more allergy tests done to see if my theory is correct and I did mention it to my doctor when I went for my monthly b12 shot the other day and she just said to get rid of my dog and said I wouldn't even be able to get the allergy shots for pets because she only gives it to people who have no choice to be constantly surrounded by them (like vets, etc). She did give me a stronger inhaler for my asthma.. I think it's called advair. I guess maybe she wants to see if that helps before doing additional testing. Unfortunatly I have carpet all over my house and the type of carpet it is makes it very difficult to vacuum all the fur out. I have to vacuum almost every day and still can't get all the ton of fur out that is in it. I've never seen a dog shed so much in all my life! But I could never EVER get rid of him... he's my baby boy and I love him so much! He helps with my anxiety so much too. I am bad though and let him up on the furniture and my bed.. It's a bad habit I tried to break a long time ago but I wasn't successful. I really wish I could take all the carpet out and just have hard wood floors but since I'm renting (I rent a townhouse), they won't allow it. Me and my sister are however thinking of moving in the fall to a duplex that has hard wood floors. I think that would make a huge difference. I think I also need to invest in a really expensive vacuum that's specifically designed for getting out dog fur. Does anyone know if you need to be referred by your family doctor in order to see an allergist? My doctor has mentioned a few times that she doesn't want to do additional allergy testing because she said it would be almost impossible to find out because it could be thousands of things (even when I told her I think it's dog related she still wouldn't do any testing to see), but then again, maybe that was because she wanted to see if the new inhaler for my asthma helps.

Thanks for the tips about the hot water and wearing a mask and furniture covers.. I never thought about that before! I will give that a try and maybe that will make a huge difference with my allergies and asthma.

Thanks again everyone for all your tips and advice! I appreciate it!
