Pets at home with wife pregnant.

Hi all, need your advice. Usually when my brother goes out of town, he would leave his dog with me.. I agreed to help him early this year for the month of Oct for 02 weeks. Now that my wife is pregnant, should I still say yes? Just concerned about hygiene. (Eg. Fur) Btw, the dog is toilet trained..

It depends on your wife's condition. If her pregnancy has been a breeze so far then there's no harm to have dog around but just make sure to clean and vacuum regularly. If she has food aversion and is sensitive to smell then you might want to think twice. Your wife's immunity is low now and is very tedious to get sick while pregnant since there's not many meds we can take.

Thanks all.. to be honest we love him, he is not one that goes around destroying things.. most of the time just need attention & sleep. 😂 Was just concerned about hygiene. 😁

As long as it's not a big dog that can bump into and knock your wife over should be OK but your wife should avoid touching the dog to be safe

Should be ok as long as kept clean. Many pregnant people rear dogs too.

Should be fine

No issue with my dog when I was pregnant. My dog sheds a lot though.
