I've recently been made aware of a new kind of service dog-allergy detection dogs. These dogs are trained like a service animal but also to detect the scent of food allergens. All dogs recognize the scent of peanut but can be trained to alert to additional allergens as well-such as tree nuts, milk protein, eggs, or fish.
I've found two companies that offer service dogs for allergic individuals:
Angel Service Dogs
Allergen Detection Service Dogs
We're currently discussing the possibility of an allergen alert dog as well as evaluating Bee's possible allergy to dogs.

My daughter has a bee allergey and she got a corgi that has already picked up on the fact bees are bad. We are currently starting formal training with him and hopefully he will be a help to her in avaoiding bees and he will be taught to alert if she goes down and retreive her epi pen. Wish us luck with this.
I hope it works out well for you! We're holding off on a dog for now but we'd still love to have one in the future.
