What Is A Hypoallergenic Dog?

Let’s define the word hypoallergenic. According to dictionary, hypoallergenic means that it’s designed to reduce or minimize the possibility of an allergic response. As I had explained before, the cause of allergic reactions to dogs is due to the protein found in the saliva, dander (dead skin flakes), or urine of animal NOT the fur.

Regardless how many times this has been said, some owners aren’t convinced that their allergy reaction is not through fur. One of the possible causes of their allergy reactions to the dog’s fur is when the dog runs in the park and brings pollen and weed allergens back to the owners.

 Before You Become Fixated On Hypoallergenic Designer Dogs

Just as you would buy a purebred dog, check with the designer dog breeders what medical tests they had done to ensure the puppies are free of any type of diseases.

Spend some time with the puppies to check if you have any allergic reaction—it may trigger immediately or later. Whatever the case may be, just stay long enough to be sure.
