Dog exposure during infancy was associated with a 13 percent lower risk of asthma in school-age children, while farm animal exposure was linked to a 52 percent risk reduction.Preschoolers had a 10 percent lower risk of asthma if they'd been exposed to dogs, and a 21 percent lower risk with exposure to farm animals.LINK 4951

Interesting. My son as an infant , had bad allergies- and asthma. His ENT told us to get rid of our animals, tear up carpet. Against my better judgement we did rehome our 2 cats and 1 dog(don't judge- it was THE biggest mistake ever- but they all went to great forever homes- the new owners kept in contact for as long as they lived)Anyway I just could not stand not having cats and dogs AND my son was not improving. So after a year and a half we got a kitten and a dog. My son got No worse. I've always had allergies  so I went in for testing- the ONLY 3 things I didn't react to were cats, dogs and feathers. The ENT ( a different one - I fired the first one) said that I had built an immunity- we slept on feather pillows and always had cats and dogs when I was growing up. And guess what- I still have environmental allergies and so does my son BUT he outgrew the asthma and he's not allergic to cats and dogs.My nephew also had the same issue- my BIL and SIL got rid of their dog- my nephew is still allergic to cats and dogs to this dayI still lament rehoming my pets- I thought I was doing the right thing as a parent. Thankfully things worked out in the end. My animals led great lives with their new owners. I think this is why I only have rescues as pets and am helping out rescue programs  4951
