A doctor has warned against letting dogs snuggle up in bed with you due to potential health risks. Experts point out that pet hairs can trigger allergic reactions, while animal dander might lead to breathing difficulties.

RSVP Live received advice from Dr Deborah Lee of Dr Fox Online Pharmacy, who said, "Pet dander is a common cause of allergy in children and adults. Encountering pet dander can cause allergic rhinitis, dermatitis, hives and asthma symptoms. When you breathe the animal dander particles into your lungs, your body's immune cells recognise the dog or cat antigen as a foreign substance posing a threat to your health.
