Allergic to Dogs?

This page used to be part of the Allergic to Dogs? page, but that page got so large that I separated these allergy study links to their own section.

Read these first

Read the Allergic to Dogs? and Dog Breeds for Allergy Sufferers pages first. They contain lots of information about human pet allergies, tips on controlling animal dander in the house, pet allergy discussion board, and information about "low dander" dog breeds that generally do well with mild pet allergy sufferers. However, people's pet allergies vary greatly, and there is no dog breed that is truly non-allergenic!

Allergy studies

Links to Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology articles. The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology is the official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. Abstracts are free to read, and many of the full size articles as well.

Note: The URL's for all these articles have changed and I had to remove the old direct links to the articles! To find these articles now, go to the The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology's search page and search by the article titles listed below.
