I totally understand about the allergies, I am actually allergic to dogs and cats, but I will never let that stop me from having them. I would rather be physically miserable than mentally any day of the week! I have a lot of anxiety too and I could not be calm for long without my babies. Does fish oil really seem to help with the allergies? Thank you for the tip, I didn't know that before this post.
She's pretty precious. They told us she was Min Pin mixed with Poodle, but she looks unmistakably like she's part chihuahua, with no signs of poodle. She helps with anxiety a lot, as do my other animals (sugar gliders). She was actually an off the record therapy dog for this guy at her old family who was severely autistic. I guess you can say she's a professional cuddler. Fish oil helped SO MUCH with the doberman. At one point I was forced to live with my boyfriend and his big dog in one small bedroom, for two weeks... and I couldn't take the allergies, I went to go sleep on the couch. We started giving him fish oil every day, and I have no idea why but it helped so much. I can be around him and not feel like I'm dying. We just started with her and I hope it helps just as much. Might have to wash my sheets a lot more often, bathe her in oatmeal, etc to supplement it. But the fish oil was great. I heard that taking it yourself can also help with allergies! If you have a little dog you can squirt some over their food, or a bigger dog can just take the whole capsule. He thinks it's a treat!
