I have a dog allergy and I would like to clear up a common misconception. Shedding dogs are usually worse, but hypoallergenic/non-shedding dogs can still cause allergic reactions. The difference is that there are less allergens in the saliva, fur, etc than a normal dog but there are still allergens. In other words, hypoallergenic dogs are a solution for mild dog allergies, emphasis on mild.
- lxmorj 9y agoRight - but as I said above - that doesn't stop small shedding dogs from causing you problems. My point is that, on the allergy front, my Wheaten is no worse than a beagle that someone paid for.
- rkangel 9y agoThis is absolutely true. The vast majority of dog allergies are 'mild' though which is why people don't realise.
