Online forums for people with animal allergies

[Matt Bowman]

Are you aware of any online forums for people who are severely allergic to animals and who want to find a vacation rental that is less likely to trigger their allergic reactions? 

I understand the laws about service animals and ESAs. Those laws actually seem to make it more likely that people with severe allergies might organize themselves or gather online to discuss how to find places to stay. 

So I'm just curious if you know of forums where people who have animal allergy problems try to figure out how to find a place to stay for vacation that is less likely to trigger their allergies. Thanks!

I don't know of any online forums specifically for those severely allergic to pets, but there are for those who have fragrance allergies. We haven't had success buying a place to have as a STR yet, but when we do I'm going to try to make sure that only fragrance free products are used. (I myself am allergic to fragrances, but not to the degree that others in the forum I'm in are.) So if you're looking for allergen friendly, I'd suggest you consider fragrance allergies as well.
