Many people who love to own a dog are hypersensitive to allergens that can easily trigger allergy reactions. Common allergens that trigger flare-ups include a dog’s saliva, urine, and pet dander.

Luckily, there are dog breeds which are non-shedders and are less likely to trigger an allergic reaction. Dogs that don’t shed or shed less are also known as hypo-allergenic dogs. With less hair around the house, there will also be less potential allergens that can trigger allergy flare-ups. If you are an allergy sufferer, you can still enjoy the love and friendship of man’s best friend. The best hypo-allergenic dogs are those which have the least amount of dander (skin flakes) and those that don’t drool a lot.

If you are looking for non-shedding dog breeds, a bit of research will show you that there are certain dog breeds which you can choose from. Most of these dog breeds possess a single coat layer. Aside from lesser risks of triggering hypersensitivity reactions, you will be glad to note that there will be less mess brought about by shedding hairs.
