No, but my dog doesn't shed. That makes a huge difference. Also, my dog is pretty smart ( a poodle), it's small, and it doesn't drool. The only time we have trouble is during the summer in rare occasions when fleas get out of control. Otherwise my dog can go pretty much anywhere we can go. My son is still young, so my dog won't be around when my son is old enough to want a dog. At that time his choices of dogs will be restricted to poodles.
