Son Allergic to Dogs! Help!

Hello Everyone! We have just determined that my 9 month old son is allergic to our 2 dogs--a shitsu and a chow. We really don't want to get rid of our dogs, as they are a very special part of our family and the children--not to mention mom and dad!!---would be crushed if we had to give them away.

Any other suggestions??
