Dog Breeds by Trait Hypoallergenic
Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds: Low-Shedding Companions for Allergy-Sensitive Homes
Hypoallergenic dog breeds are ideal for individuals with pet allergies, offering minimal dander and reduced shedding. These breeds—like the Poodle, Bichon Frise, and Portuguese Water Dog—feature hair-like coats that trap allergens and require regular grooming to stay clean and allergy-friendly. While no dog is 100% allergen-free, hypoallergenic breeds significantly lower the risk of allergic reactions, making them popular among sensitive families and first-time pet owners. Known for their intelligence, charm, and adaptability, these dogs thrive in homes that prioritize cleanliness and consistent coat care. Whether you're seeking a cuddly lap dog or an active playmate, hypoallergenic breeds combine comfort with companionship.
