Dealing with Dog Allergies

If you or a family member are among the 15 percent of Americans who suffer from pet-related allergies, here are strategies for reducing the potential for a reaction.

All dogs produce dander so there are no "hypoallergenic" breeds. Some breeds shed their skin every three or four days and others every 21 days. The dogs that shed less frequently produce less dander. Breeds that have a single-layer coat usually produce less dander than double-coated dogs. Here is a list of breeds that may produce less dander.

  • Airedale
  • Basenji
  • Bedlington terrier
  • Bichon frise
  • Chinese crested
  • Irish water spaniel
  • Italian greyhound
  • Kerry blue terrier
  • Maltese
  • Poodle
  • Portuguese water dog
  • Schnauzers
  • Shih tzu
  • Soft-coated Wheaten terrier
  • Tibetan terrier
  • Wire-haired fox terrier
  • Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican hairless)
