Hypoallergenic Dogs - Are You Allergic To Your Dog?
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, t 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. Here is a list of Hypoallergenic Dogs. If I have missed any I do apologize. American Hairless Terrier Please
remember that no dog is 100% hypoallergenic and also that
allergic sufferers react differently to each separate breed of
dog. For Westhighland
Terriers owners, such as myself, the news is good. They are
considered good for allergy sufferers, with a relatively low
dander (ranked number 7). However you need to be reminded that
one person’s allergies may vary greatly from another person.
It is always advisable to visit the home of the dog you wish to
have, before you bring it home.
I hope that you found this article of use to you.
