Dog Breeds Suitable for Allergy Sufferers: Options to Consider

Pet hair allergy sufferers face a difficult conundrum when considering getting a pet: while they desire having one so badly, the mere presence of four-legged friends causes their bodies to react by making eyes itchy, noses running, or other symptoms to surface. Luckily, certain breeds seem more suitable than others for accommodating allergy sufferers.

Allergy sufferers don’t have to suffer in silence from dog allergies; there are breeds which cause fewer reactions in them. There’s still the misconception that short-haired breeds shed less hair, making them suitable. Actually, they often shed even more than fluffy ones! Today it’s believed that specific animal proteins in saliva, skin and urine of quadrupeds trigger allergy symptoms; therefore breeds with less allergens can be more suitable; however there will always be exceptions so these suggestions cannot guarantee 100% protection from allergic reactions in their owners from having allergic reactions from them!

Water dogs may help relieve allergy sufferers.

Water dogs tend to cause allergy sufferers less health issues. Particularly beneficial are Spanish and Portuguese water dogs; one advantage being they don’t undergo coat changes before or after winter and shed relatively less during the rest of the year than some other breeds like Poodles with curlier coats that must be combed regularly – which should never be done by anyone with a severe allergy!

Do You Prefer Goldendoodle or Labradoodle Puppies?

Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers remain among the most beloved dog breeds. Unfortunately, their fur-rich coats make them unsuitable for allergy sufferers; fortunately hybrid breeds have since emerged that combine traits from both breeds with that of a poodle to produce family-friendly Golden or Labradoodle hybrids that require minimal care – simply being clipped once every two months with regular brushing sessions as needed; although allergy sufferers should avoid doing this themselves.

Small Dog Breeds: Bichons
Bichons, or very small breeds of canines, can also make ideal companions for allergy sufferers. Maltese, Havanese, Bolognese or Bichon Frise dogs belong to this category of hairless breeds and should also be taken into consideration as options.

Other suitable breeds for allergy sufferers include Yorkshire or Bedlington Terriers, Schnauzers, Peruvian or Mexican Naked Dogs as well as Samoyeds and Shih Tzus.

Control is better. Trust is important but control can go further.

For allergy sufferers to be certain if one of the dog breeds mentioned is suitable, they should visit a reliable breeder and collect some hairs of parent animals as a test sample. If no reactions occur within several days then there’s nothing stopping an animal family member becoming part of your life.
