Dogs for allergy sufferers
No dog is truly hypoallergenic. The main allergen, Can f 1, is in every dog’s saliva, dander and urine, not only in the hair. Breeds that shed little leave less of it around the house, so some people with allergies tolerate them better. Spend a few hours with the actual dog and talk to an allergist before you decide.
24 breeds. Low-shedding breeds often suggested for allergy sufferers (our assessment based on breed club descriptions).
Reactions differ between individual dogs, even within one breed. Allergy testing matters more than a "hypoallergenic" label.
