What Are The Hypoallergenic Dogs

By Kimberly Hall


For those affected by pet allergies, owning a dog may seem like an impossibility owing to the severe symptoms triggered by dander and dirt. Sinuses are chronic and single exposure to a contaminant can leave persons debilitated and highly medicated. Hypoallergenic dogs are not allergy free but possess a tighter lower shedding coat with better management and less risk of experiencing severe allergies.

Allergies to pet hair and dander can have serious limitations on the well-being of the person impacted by such conditions. Sneezing, red itchy eyes, coughing, rashes and a host of flu like symptoms are associated with exposure of affected persons to cat or dog hair. With a growing interest in the allergy-free dog, more people affected by pet allergies have the chance to own a canine companion.

A hypoallergenic dog is bred to possess a low shed coat preventing excess dander and hair fall in and around the home. The reduction in the shedding helps prevent the exposure to the dirt and dander that trigger any allergic responses in sinus and hay-fever sufferers. It is easier to clean and minimizes the accumulation of dirt that would be caused by regular shedding coats.

Research has shown a fair portion of the population will be diagnosed with an allergy and immune responses when exposed to pet dander and hair. While many dogs are bred to provide low shed, they are not completely hypoallergenic and bred with the purpose of reducing the amount of dander one is exposed to. Certain breeds of dog with coats that are easier to manage will do well with people affected by allergies.

Select dog breeds are developed to produce a tight coat that does not shed in large volumes making it easier to manage. People affected by allergies respond to the dander in the pet hair and not the hair itself. When pets do not possess an excessive amount of loose hair, allergy prone owners are better equipped to handle the minor amounts of shed that do occur.

When you wish to learn of the dog breeds available with the lower shedding coat, consult with a professional and experienced breeder. The coats of animals must be soft and puppies be provided the healthiest care before they can leave for their new homes. If you are interested in pet ownership consider the canines with the lower shedding coat and beautiful personalities.

Some of the breeds that have been recognized as hypoallergenic include the Schnauzer, certain terriers, Bichon Frise, and Water Spaniels. These dogs do not provide large volumes of excess hair that would affect the health and overall living conditions of new owners. It is important to prevent the large amounts of dander that are responsible for allergic reactions to pets.

If you are an allergy sufferer and wish to own a beautiful pet, speak to a reputable breeder. Registered sellers have produced dogs with a low shed coat to minimize exposure to allergens and triggers. The hypoallergenic dog is easier to manage and provides more people the chance to own a healthy pet with a beautiful coat.
