Why Choose Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds?
Hypoallergenic dog breeds are often recommended for people with allergies because they typically shed less and produce fewer allergens. While no dog is 100% allergen-free, these breeds may be better tolerated by people with sensitivities.
Understanding Hypoallergenic Breeds
- Reduced shedding: These dogs often have hair instead of fur, which sheds less
- Lower dander production: They typically produce less of the dander that causes allergic reactions
- Regular grooming required: Regular grooming helps manage allergens
- Individual variations: Reactions can vary based on the specific dog and person
