6 Best Hypoallergenic Dogs

While there are no 100% hypoallergenic breeds, there are non-shedding dogs that don’t shed nearly as much hair and dander as other breeds. These rarely cause allergic reactions, and can often be a great option for people who normally suffer around pets. We would advise spending some time with a dog of the specific breed you’re thinking of getting before you commit, to see if it will work for you and your family. Here is a list of our top 6 favourite hypoallergenic dog breeds.

Poodles are incredibly intelligent dogs who don't shed any hair. They are perfect for anybody with allergies, but their coat does need quite a lot of attention. Most people advise using a professional groomer to stay on top of things, but you can actually take care of it yourself if you spend the right amount of time.

The Yorkshire Terrier is a shed free, low dander dog, perfect for people with allergies. They love to tear around the house, play, as well as snuggle down on the sofa, but they do need regular grooming to prevent matting. So, everytime your Yorkshire terrier jumps up onto your lap be sure to have a comb handy to brush his paws.

Shih Tzus are a very light shedding breed, even if their beautiful long hair might look like the kind of hair that you'd find around the house. They are loving and affectionate dogs, but be warned, they do require a lot of grooming. To keep their coat in tip top condition you will need to be prepared to handle a few knots and tangles, but let's face it, Shi Tzus are adorable.
