Dog breeds with hypoallergenic hair
Why hypoallergenic breeds do not cause allergies in humans
A dog is a living being, and therefore all physiological processes are inherent in it. These are salivation, natural dying off of the smallest particles of the skin (dandruff), hair loss, skin lesions by microscopic mites. It is the organic substances formed as a result of these processes and parasites that are the main cause of allergic reactions in humans.
There are no absolutely hypoallergenic dogs.
This is due to the fact that any living creature produces saliva, dandruff forms and hair falls out. But the fact is that in some breeds of dogs all these processes take place to a much less pronounced degree than in relatives of the tribe. Such breeds are called hypoallergenic.
Even if you read on the Internet or in a book that the breed you have chosen will not cause a negative reaction in the body, you still need to test it before buying. How to do it? The easiest way is to stay with the animal in the same room for a while. If after 20-30 minutes. If you do not show signs of allergies, then everything is in order: you can buy a puppy of this breed.
Please note that you may not have an allergic reaction to the dog, but to allergens that it brings on its paws from the street.
Therefore, hygienic treatment of the paws and fur of an animal after a walk is the most important procedure for a dog owner with an allergic status.
