How can I make this sentence correct?

How would you put this sentence correctly so it makes sense with commas?

Thanks!

Dogs give me horrible allergies I don't like them so don't buy me one.

You cannot do it with commas alone; you'll need at least one semicolon. Give it a try.

Hi,

Dogs give me horrible allergies; I don't like them, so don't buy me one.

How's that?

It's fine. However, is there some particular reason that you feel you need a semi-colon? I'd just put a period instead of it, myself.

Best wishes, Clive
