Allergy is a disease that is extremely difficult to treat. It is easiest to try and remove the irritant, which causes such a violent reaction of the body. And what about those people who love dogs, but can not tolerate their presence near them? It is necessary to try to pick up such breed which most of all will approach them.
Which dogs are hypoallergenic?
Attacks of allergies can cause dandruff or peeling on the skin of a dog, saliva, a skin disease on the body of an animal. Can attacks trigger a tick, which lives in the animal's fur. The smallest particles fly around the room, and settle on objects of everyday use. They, and not wool, as many people believe, cause allergies, which are manifested in sneezing, tearing, red eyes, coughing, swelling and stuffy nose.
On different breeds can the sick person have a completely different reaction. A short-haired dog will not give you a guarantee that everything will be fine. We must remember that there is absolutely no hypoallergenic breed in the world. Even the absence of wool does not guarantee that this dog is suitable, because the reaction is mainly caused by proteins. It is best to buy an allergic animal, which sheds little, since it is on the wool most often settle a variety of harmful particles. But this is not necessarily a long-haired dog.
