But no-one knows how severe this allergy is or if it exists at all and is the product of dil’s malice as OP doesn’t come back and tell us!
This exactly- without more info, it is impossible to know.
It is a fact that allergies can go from mild intolerance to deadly reaction. Also clear that some people, for all sorts of reasons, can use 'allergies' to manipulate others. So impossible to respond.
I would offer to see GC in own home, and promise to put clean clothes and shower before any visits. I could not get rid of existing and established pets.
Peasblossom, big difference between deciding not to have a pet- or having to get rid of a pet that is part of your life for some time.
