I wouldnt be so conclusive. I'm open to the idea that hypoallergenic branding is garbage, but non-shedding certainly is a phenotype, which can have an impact independent of allergens in hair samples. It is also worth nothing that the cited study showed 4-5 orders of magnitude difference between allergen samples from different animals (0.1 to 1000 ug/g). The results just didn't group well across breeds. IF someone showed me this data at work, I would say they are either failing to isolate causes of variability or have a shitty measurement system. https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(12)00793-2/fulltext#fig1 https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(12)00793-2/ful...
