Pet Dog wanted

1 Reply

My son has mild asthma and is on serevent daily (which I am told should not be used on its own without a steroid, but thats another issue). We so desperately want a pet dog for our family to enjoy but are so worried that we don't want to make his asthma worse or trigger an attack. Is there any way that we can have our dog without making our sons Asthma worse?
