[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a serious allergy issue or one manageable on medication?  Is your husband on board with no dog?  What would the longer term issues be - ie, would the residue be gone with them or linger for days or weeks?  What are the long term ramifications with your in laws.

I can see their point about fairness and I can totally get not wanting to be inconvenienced. It’s a balancing act. [/quote]

In the era of COVID my son would present with COVID symptoms (sniffling, sneezing, watery eyes, etc). His allergies are manageable enough with medication.

Our concerns are beyond allergeries:
1) our blind dog can get aggressive now that he can't see anything. They have fought in the past and I'm assuming they will fight in the future.
2) we can't leave the dog alone, ever (according to them). So one of the inlaws will always stay behind and not come to dinner.
3) allergies and / or damage to the house. The dog is super wild. Needs a huge yard. We have a small, unfenced yard. 
4) my MIL is part of the issue - she doesn't know how to handle the dog properly. Like she allows him to jump on people type of stuff.

Husband is on board with no dog and upset his parents are asking.

This is the first time the in laws threw a fit over the issue so no idea what the implications are. In the immediate term, they said they weren't coming to see us.[/quote]

PP here. You convinced me. I would hold fast. [/quote]
