Hypoallergenic dogs - This may come as a surprise to you, but did you know that 1 in 10 people are allergic to dogs. According to study from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, it has been estimated that about 10% of the population is allergic to animals.

Do you suffer from watery eyes or even serious asthma attacks When we talk about hypoallergenic dogs, we mean that they have a less or reduced tendency to cause allergies or allergic reaction among allergy sufferers.

The problem is not with the pet's hair. It is the dander, or microscopic scales of dead skin (similar to, but much smaller than the dandruff on the human scalp) which pets are constantly shedding that is the cause. They are so tiny that you seldom know that they are circulating in the air or laying on the furniture and carpets because they are so small.
