Happy Birthday to Opel

Opel is my family dog who has been with us for nine years. He might be loud (seriously, he loves to bark) but he is a very huggable mutt. When I first met him, he was very mischievous and he is just the same even now. He used to love to chew cables, shoes and furniture much like any other puppy though he has calmed down a bit. He loves to steal food, especially food that is within easy reach. Even food placed out of sight is not safe at times as he will find a way! On a number of occasions we have found evidence where he has eaten raw eggs, fish, biscuits etc.

Choosing a Dog when You or a Family Member has Asthma

If you’re an animal lover, but you or a family member has asthma, it can be frustrating as you will no doubt not want your condition to ruin your chances of welcoming a dog into your home. Your family’s safety will always come first, but there are a few breeds of dog that have been known to be more ‘hypoallergenic’ when it comes to asthma and other allergies. We’ve done some research to give you some info into these breeds, and whilst they are all generally a safe bet, it may be best to consult your family doctor or even a local vet if you family member’s asthma is severe. All of these breeds have been known to be ok with asthma sufferers, but of course, everyone is different and no dog is 100% certain to not cause allergies.

Poodles

Poodles are generally regarded as one of, if not the best, types of dog to have if you suffer with asthma. This is due to the fact that they are unusual in the sense that they grow hair like humans, unlike other dog breeds that grow fur. They are great for house proud parents too, as they don’t shed their hair. Poodles are also a good choice as they come in a variety of sizes, which can be useful when taking house size into consideration.
