Can my dog get poison ivy, or only 'transfer' it to me?

Best Answers

Poison ivy is caused by an allergic reaction to the urashiol "oil" in the leaves. Animals aren't allergic, but can easily spread the oil to you if they lay on your furniture or if you let them rub against you. read more

Yes, you can get poison ivy from your dog, but not from the rash itself. You can get poison ivy from the oil on your dogs coat transferring to your skin. read more
