Dogs licking my baby
My in laws have two dogs and they lick my 5months old baby every now and then. I find dog hair on his clothes and hair every day and night. Despite constantly reminding of the harm it can have on the baby, they say that it is safe as the dogs are domestic pets and do not go out. How do i make them understand what all it can lead to in regards with the baby's health.

Hi.
Not safe to let the dogs near the baby. Take your in- laws to nearby doctor for the counselling and he/she will brief the hazards.
