We have dogs that are hypoallergenic, but my girlfriend still has allergies to dander, dust, etc from outside. We make it a point to wash their paws every time they come in from being outside to reduce that. The issues with hives from petting or saliva though are a bit concerning though. The petting could possibly be the same with dander from being outdoors, but not sure for the saliva part.

If anyone else was curious, that’s somewhere in the realm of $6b USD.
