Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds
Low-shedding breeds ideal for allergy sufferers.
Hypoallergenic dog breeds that shed less and produce fewer allergens — ideal for allergy sufferers.
No dog is 100% hypoallergenic — the allergen is a protein in saliva and skin cells (dander), not just fur. However, low-shedding breeds produce less dander and distribute it less throughout the home, making life significantly more comfortable for allergy sufferers.
- ✓Spend time with a specific dog before committing — individual dogs vary in allergen production
- ✓Regular grooming and bathing reduces dander regardless of breed
- ✓HEPA air purifiers help reduce airborne allergens at home
