Low Shedding Dog Breeds: Clean Coats, Less Hair, More Comfort
Low shedding dog breeds are perfect for pet lovers who want a cleaner home and fewer allergy triggers. These breeds—like the Basenji, Shih Tzu, and Italian Greyhound—shed minimally, making them ideal for apartments, families, and anyone sensitive to pet hair. With coats that release less fur year-round, low-shedding dogs reduce vacuuming and lint-rolling while still offering loyal companionship and playful energy. Many of these breeds also require regular grooming to maintain coat health and minimize dander. Whether you're seeking a stylish lap dog or an active partner, low-shedding breeds combine beauty, cleanliness, and charm in one low-maintenance package.
