Meaning that having a dog as a child is not only emotionally beneficial but also has health related benefits. And as for those who argue cats are better that our beloved dogs, it was discovered that children with cat allergies are 13 times more likely to develop eczema if they lived with a cat within their early childhood. In addition to helping prevent eczema, dogs can also help prevent people from developing allergies and asthma. Based on a recent study, kids who were in contact with the dried flakes of skin that fall from our pooches, or also known as ‘dog dust’ were at a lower risk of developing allergies and asthma. This is caused by the fact that it contains microbes that contain a number of immune cells that react too
