What Are The Best Hypoallergenic Dogs For People With Allergies?

Pet-lovers with an allergy to their favorite dogs can still enjoy being a pet parent. The trick is to choose from the breeds of non-allergenic dogs that don’t shed as much hair and dander. Non-shedding dogs are commonly referred to as hypoallergenic dogs, and they are a great choice for people with allergies.

In the US, there are more than 15 hairless and low-shedding, hypoallergenic dogs for people with allergies. If you love dogs but suffer from allergies, you should check out the small to medium sized dogs that are considered the best match for mild allergy sufferers.

1. Affenpinscher

Pet parents with allergies can breathe a little easier with an Affenpinscher in the house. While Affens are not non-shedding dogs, as all pups shed some hair, they do feature a wiry coat which only needs occasional removal of old, dead hairs.

The Affenpinscher is said to be one of the world’s oldest toy breed dogs, having originated in Germany, where Affenpinscher means “monkey-like terrier.” To create the contemporary breed, some breeders allegedly bred early Affenpinschers with Pugs, German Pinschers, and others.
