is toilet,but sleeps indoors.? Dog is docile, quiet and lovable. My partner rescued him - was traumatised and abandoned as a puppy. Now I share studio with boyfriend and, although I vacuum all the time to remove hair, I've had recurrent eye infections, urinary infections and vaginal infections. May be no connection, but I'm worried. Boyfriend reluctant to have dog sleeping outside, although he's calm and no reason not to. Also does not believe there may be health risks. Despite my efforts, he does not keep to separate washing up cloths etc for the dog
I love dog very much but would be happier if I knew what the risks were. Flat is one large room with kitchen one end and living room/office at the other, with separate bathroom/WC. Door opens onto small garden, shared with three cats.

You don't need to make the dog sleep outside, apart from anything else it would traumatise the dog. If you keep getting infections it's probably because you have a health deficiency, so visit your doctor for advice. The dog may irritate your eyes but it wouldn't give you an infection, least of all somewhere intimate!
As an edit: If a dog has fleas it's more than likely caught them from a cat. It's true!
