Today, I will speak about the Best Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds for People With Allergies.

So, you want a dog but you seem to have an allergy attack whenever you’re around one?

You’re not alone! According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, as much as 10% of the population in the U.S. is allergic to dogs, causing many prospective owners to wonder: which dogs are hypoallergenic?

While no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, it’s possible to find less-allergenic dog breeds that are better suited for allergy-sufferers.

These dogs have a predictable, non-shedding coat that produces less dander.

Dander, which clings to pet hair, is what causes most pet allergies in people.

Even though dogs that are hypoallergenic don’t truly exist, many breeds make it possible to enjoy the companionship of a dog, even if you suffer from allergies.

There are also ways to prepare your home to help keep allergens at bay when you have a dog.

Be sure to wash your pet’s bed often, keep up with his grooming, and don’t let him sleep on your bed.

It’s also helpful to remove heavy carpets and drapes that can trap dander.

Vacuum cleaners for pet hair and pet air purifiers also help remove allergens, and some can even groom the hair and dander right from your dog.
