If looking to own a dog, choose any of the hypoallergenic dogs to help minimize reactions because they do
carry less allergens.
Longer haired cats tend to
shed less allergen and consequently owners with allergies have fewer reactions.
Other breeds may have a finer coat and not groom themselves as much as other cats, thus
spreading less allergens into the environment.
The combined benefits of pressure point relief, alignment support, cooler sleeping surface,
less allergens and motion isolation come together to create the ideal environment for deeper and more restful sleep.
While no dogs are allergy - free, some experts refer to hypoallergenic dogs as breeds that produce
less allergens than some others.
Less hair, less dander... less allergens
Breeds such as the bichon frise, poodle, Maltese and the Chinese crested are all considered to produce
less allergens; making them ideal breeds for pet owners with asthma or allergies.
The charity Allergy UK also recommends regular grooming, so that
less allergen can be carried on you pet's coat.

Less allergens means less itching, but beware of indoor air purifiers that generate ozone as the presence of ozone can greatly worsen allergies and even cause asthma in sensitive patients.
In layman's terms: even if the Portuguese Water Dog produces, on average,
less allergen than other breeds, there's no guarantee that a specific Portuguese Water Dog will be hypoallergenic.
