Hypoallergenic Puppies

Allergies to dogs are a common thing around the world. As of 2021, it’s been reported that up to 20% of the world’s population suffers from pet-related allergies. Allergies to animals, especially to dogs, are triggered when the proteins that are found in the dog’s skin cells, saliva, and urine, are carried and spread through the shedding fur. Loving dogs is easy but living with them when they shed their dander-filled fur isn’t – not when you have allergies.

Your house looks as if it’s been through a serious pillow fight, and that’s fine – if you don’t suffer from pet-related allergies. You can go on happily singing “hair is in the air, everywhere I look around” as you vacuum your house for 2 hours every other day. If you do suffer from allergies, the storyline changes completely. The nightmare is real and it involves teary eyes, coughs, sore throats, and a sneeze fit every time you are near a dog. Pet-related allergies are a pain to live with, especially if you’re a dog lover. So what can you do? The way we see it, is you have three options:

• Don’t get a dog and miss out on unconditional love, loyalty, fun, and an adorable creature that spreads joy 24/7
• Adopt a dog because he/she is cute (regardless if they shed or not) and deal with all of the “fun” allergic symptoms they trigger.
• Adopt a hypoallergenic dog and forget you have allergies

Although no dog is completely hypoallergenic, there are some breeds that are allergy-friendly.  

We strongly believe that every dog lover (regardless of allergies) should have a furry friend, so with that in mind, we have put together a list of the best hypoallergenic dogs. These hypoallergenic breeds are tried and true. They have all been through numerous studies and the results show that they are less likely to cause allergic reactions in humans compared to other dogs.
