Allergies caused by dogs contribute to a large part of the allergic manifestations of the world's population.

Some dogs, such as poodles, are hypoallergenic, which means they do not produce as many skin cells or oily skin. Which in turn means that the owner of such a dog will produce fewer reactions when in the dog's vicinity.

Dander, found in hair and leached skin cells, is one of the main culprits when it comes to triggering allergic reactions in humans. So much so that in some people, just sitting on a pillow left by the dog can cause irritation.

There is currently no scientific evidence that a dog is considered truly hypoallergenic. However, a poodle sheds very little hair, as it does not molt, like other breeds, and is therefore considered hypoallergenic, regardless of its color.
