Animal hair allergy is a fairly common disease. However, do not think that with such a diagnosis, you will never be able to have a pet. Scientists have proven that some dog breeds, for example, have specific features of the hairline. For allergy sufferers, such animals are completely harmless.
Instructions
Step 1
The most common misconception among people suffering from animal allergies is that the dog's coat is the cause of the discomfort. In fact, most often allergic reactions occur to a substance secreted by the pet's skin or to its saliva. When choosing a hypoallergenic dog, you should not pay attention only to the length or density of its coat.
Step 2
When buying a pet with allergies, it is important to evaluate the selected breed according to several indicators. First, determine the size of your home. If the dog will live in an apartment, then preference should be given to miniature breeds. In a private house, you can have a pet of any size.
Step 3
Scientists have proven that frequent bathing of a dog almost completely eliminates the occurrence of allergies in its owner. However, first of all, it is better to study the characteristics of the selected breed. The ideal option in this case would be a pet that is not prone to molting.
Step 4
In addition, immediately discard such dog breeds that are distinguished by active and overly mobile characters, as well as with increased salivation. An allergic reaction is aggravated by irritation. If the dog barks constantly, then sooner or later it will cause a negative reaction and the allergy will immediately remind of its existence. That is why pets with a calm and friendly temperament are more suitable for allergy sufferers.
Step 5
Almost all terrier varieties are ideal pets for allergy sufferers. Dogs of this breed are not at all prone to molting. Their coat is quite thick and hard, not falling out even with frequent brushing. Allergic reactions are not caused by both large representatives of terriers and decorative Yorkies.
Step 6
Komondor and Bullets are massive dogs with long hair. However, for allergy sufferers, they will also not become irritants. The fact is, subject to basic hygiene standards, dandruff is practically not formed in the hairline of these dogs, which causes allergic attacks when it enters the respiratory tract.
