Differences Between Non-Hypoallergenic and Hypoallergenic Dogs
Summary
While the differences between non-hypoallergenic and hypoallergenic dogs may seem minor, they can significantly reduce allergy attacks for sensitive individuals. For dog lovers who experience allergies, choosing a hypoallergenic breed might be the best option to enjoy pet companionship without frequent allergic reactions.Understanding the Differences
Non-Hypoallergenic Dogs
Non-hypoallergenic dogs typically have dense, shedding fur that carries dander?"comprising skin cells, dust, and other particles. As these dogs shed, dander becomes airborne, triggering allergies in sensitive individuals. Many of these breeds also have an undercoat, adding to frequent shedding and trapping allergens.Additionally, some non-hypoallergenic breeds may salivate more, which can exacerbate allergies. Dog saliva contains bacteria that can particularly affect allergic individuals. Dog urine may also contain allergens that can trigger reactions.
Hypoallergenic Dogs
In contrast, hypoallergenic dogs often have shorter coats, and some lack an undercoat. While this provides less protection against cold weather, it benefits allergy sufferers as these dogs shed less dander. Their hair, resembling human hair, requires periodic trimming to manage its length. Some breeds are even hairless, minimizing shedding further.Hypoallergenic dogs typically salivate less, which helps reduce allergens. Consequently, their grooming and cleaning don't leave as much bacteria behind. Their urine is also less likely to impact those with allergies.
Popular Hypoallergenic Breeds
If you're considering a hypoallergenic dog, explore these popular breeds: Maltese, Terriers, Schnauzer, Bichon Frise, Portuguese Water Dog, Greyhounds, and Irish Water Spaniel. Due to their popularity, finding a local breeder is usually easier.Caring for Your Hypoallergenic Dog
