  However, a finding that emerged from the majority of the studies indicated a protective effect of early-life pet ownership, in particular dog ownership, on the onset of food allergy. […] The main explanation regarding the prevention of allergy in children exposed to cats and dogs in their first years of life is that early exposure to a sufficient quantity of allergens may train the immune system not to react allergically to those animals and become tolerant. […] In recent years, many efforts have been focused on delineating the role that epigenetics, the science that deals with gene–environment interactions, play in the development and progression of allergies.

  https://www.allergylondon.com/conditions/pet-allergies/

  It is common to be asked whether it is safe for a child with other allergies such as food allergies to get a cat or a dog, and if testing at the time to the animal is negative, it is unlikely that the child is already allergic. However, it is important to bear in mind that patients with an allergic tendency will typically develop allergies after a period of regular exposure, so if such a patient brings a cat or a dog into their home, there is a very high chance that they will eventually become allergic to it and that will then start to cause symptoms which could be problematic. It is therefore worth discussing this before going down the route of purchasing a pet.
