Find Small Dogs that Don't Shed with Uptown Puppies

Are small dog breeds that don't shed also hypoallergenic?

If you want a dog that’s both non-shedding and hypoallergenic, you’re in luck—most of the time they mean the same thing. That’s because most dog allergies are caused by dander (tiny flakes of skin attached to your dog’s hair when it sheds). More often than not, a dog who sheds less is also a dog who triggers allergies less.

Can I still get allergies from small dog breeds that don't shed?

Although animal dander isn’t the sole cause of pet allergies, it is the cause most often responsible for allergies for dog owners. Dog saliva and urine can also trigger allergic reactions, and some people are more sensitive to dog allergies than other people. However, the less a dog sheds, the less likely you are to have allergies.
