Non-shedding Dogs For Allergy Sufferers

Which Dogs Are Best For Allergy Sufferers?

While there really is no dog breed that is completely 100 percent allergy free, there are what is commonly called hypoallergenic dogs.

The list of non-shedding dogs below are allergy friendly dog breeds that produce less dander and with regular grooming will reduce the allergens fur can collect.

These non-shedding dogs will allow those of you that do suffer from allergies to keep your allergies at a very comfortable level, allowing you to enjoy owning and raising a dog.

Spend time with a chosen breed. Visit a breeder of any allergy friendly dog breeds. Test your allergy sensitivity. This gives you the opportunity to see what, if any, health reactions you might develop since everyone that does suffer has a different tolerance threshold.

Research the breed... does it fit your lifestyle? Avoid getting the wrong dog by doing your homework first!

There is much to consider before choosing a dog. Keep in mind that grooming and bi-monthly baths can also keep the dander levels down. It is our hope you find a suitable dog that doesn't give you an allergic reaction or at least one you can tolerate, because we find having a dog is one of life's true enjoyment! We hope you, too, will be able to enjoy a new companion in your homelife!
