I bought a dog, but am having pretty bad allergies. I do not want to go the allergy shots route, or constantly take medication, or have to limit how I play with him. I'm suffering now, but am wondering, if over time, I may build a tolerance and grow immune to his dander, saliva, and other allergens? I recall I used to go to my friend's house a lot, and had real bad allergies from his cats. But over time, the allergies became a lot better. I thought it was because I built a tolerance to them.
Can an Allergic Person Overcome Allergies to His Pet by Building a Tolerance Over Time?

I have been allergic to cats all my life and I have never built any sort of immunity to them. I think you should go to a allergist and they can help you build immunity to your allergies by injecting you with allergens. This therapy is called "Immunotherapy" It's not an instant cure but it can take anywhere from one year to two years to see an improvement. But over time you will see an improvement. Some people improve after only a few months of therapy. Hope this has helped.
