Dog hair can cause a problem for your toddler. Skin testing to dog will help a bit. If positive, he is more likely to have a problem on exposure to dogs and dog hair. If negative, he might be OK but could become allergic later. If one or both parents have allergies it makes it more likely that your toddler will have a problem, also. There is no way to predict for sure how much problem he will have.
