If you have allergies but want to have a dog as a pet, there are hypoallergenic dogs that may reduce the chances of your allergies flare.<\/span><\/p>\n A hypoallergenic dog breed is one that doesn’t shed or sheds minimally. A dog’s fur can house the dander that is the true source of allergic reactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If a dog is a prolific shedder, that dander is spread all over the pet owner’s clothes, house, couch, and is in the air.<\/span><\/p>\n Even if you get one of the hypoallergenic dog breeds, make sure that you brush them regularly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Regular brushing with one of the<\/span> Best Dog Brushes For Shedding 2021<\/span><\/a> helps keep your dog’s skin and coat healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>These wiry-haired pups are great for allergy sufferers as their coats are low-maintenance. This breed can look pretty shaggy, but they are a little dog with a big personality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Said to resemble a monkey, this tiny pup is also likened to a Wookie by Star Wars fans. Affens can be quite willful and domineering but are a very loyal and affectionate breed. They shed very little fur, and their fur is exceptionally slow-growing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Although you will need to brush their coat every week, the dander will not be floating in the air or covering the couch cushions.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The American Hairless Terrier is the only hairless dog breed that is native to the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This breed is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers who would love to have a pet. They are intelligent, curious, and playful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The hairless terrier might have eyebrows and whiskers, but the skin is smooth, and this dog is as hypoallergenic as a dog can get.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Basenji are small, graceful hounds that have a glistening short coat, tightly curled tail, and wrinkled forehead. These non-barking dogs are fastidious and almost cat-like in their grooming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n They have limited dander and are classed as hypoallergenic, making them a good choice for allergy sufferers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n They shed very little and only about once a month. The Basenji is an independent and adaptable dog that tends to be aloof and a little stubborn.<\/span><\/p>\n The Bedlington Terrier is the oldest unbroken pedigree dating back to 1782. Reminiscent of a sheep, especially when their coat is trimmed that way, these dogs are lively and like to be at the center of things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Despite a coat that grows quickly, these dogs don’t shed, making them a good companion for someone with allergies.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Their name means “curly lapdog,” and this cute little pup lives up to its name. The plush coat on the Bichon Frise continually grows and doesn’t shed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While this dog breed is considered hypoallergenic, it does need daily brushing so that its coat won’t mat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Bichon Frise is small and lively with a great personality. With its small sizer, this cute pup is very adaptable for apartment living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It loves and needs companionship from its humans and can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. The Bichon Frise is very intelligent, and this non-drooler responds very well to training.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Irish Water Spaniel is an intelligent and playful breed that is eager to please. This breed has a double-layered coat, with a water-repellant outer layer, and a soft, downy inner layer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This double-layer of coats ensures that the hair and dander that gets shed remains trapped in the coat. This factor keeps allergens at bay and makes them hypoallergenic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Irish Water Spaniel is child-friendly and good-natured. Exceptionally social, they are loyal and a bit on the goofy side. They like a lot of exercises and need socialization and training from puppyhood.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n This breed is hypoallergenic and rarely sheds or drools. Cute and button-eyed, the Maltese may have originated on the island of Malta, where it became the favorite pet of royalty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This hypoallergenic dog is very popular with small dog lovers. It is loyal, playful, and full of charm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Its silky white coat and little black nose give it lots of appeal. The anti-allergy hair is composed of a single layer with no undercoat and goes straight without curls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Maltese is lively and has a sweet nature with lots of energy, affection, and intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n Schnauzers are hypoallergenic, which is a great advantage to someone who wants to have a dog, but they are also incredibly friendly dogs eager to please and easy to train.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These dogs make a good companion that is wonderful as a family pet. Miniature Schnauzers shed very little and have a short, double coat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The outside hair is wiry, and they have a softer undercoat. The undercoat sheds a little, and the hair gets tangled in its outer coat rather than shedding away. That is why it is important to groom these small pets regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Image Credit:<\/span> https:\/\/www.wisdompanel.com\/en-us\/dog-breeds\/portuguese-water-dog<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n This dog breed is hard-working, intelligent, and energetic. The Portuguese Water Dog has a robust coat of tight, low-shedding curls and is hypoallergenic but requires extensive grooming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n They benefit greatly from weekly grooming and an occasional bath. This breed once served as a crew on fishing vessels. They would retrieve lost gear and would herd fish into nets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Today, they are great family pets as they are fun-loving and friendly. They have webbed feet and love the water.<\/span><\/p>\n While there are those pet owners that go for a fancy haircut, a standard poodle does just fine when its coat is in a natural state. They shed very minimally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These dogs are intelligent and loyal and make for a good family dog. This type of poodle will need mental stimulation as they love a challenge and are eager to play games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While there are other poodle breeds, it is the standard poodle that is good for people with allergies.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the<\/span> Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America<\/span><\/a>, a genuinely non-allergic dog or cat does not exist. There are, however, things you can do if you are sensitive to pet dander. Keep your pet out of your bedroom, wear a dust mask to vacuum, and don’t touch your face after petting your dog or cat.<\/span><\/p>\n Overall, hypoallergenic dog breeds don’t shed, don’t have hair, or have short, single-layered coats. This means that there is less dander. Most allergies are not caused by the dog’s fur but are caused by dander from the dog’s skin.<\/span><\/p>\n You can use a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter on your furnace. Use a vacuum that has a HEPA filter. The shampoos that you use on your dog can also cut down on dander. Make sure that you keep your pet’s hair short and groom them regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you have allergies but want to have a dog as a pet, there are hypoallergenic dogs that may reduce the chances of your allergies flare.
