Known for not barking much, the Basenji is also a dog suitable for those with allergies, especially to fur.
This little dog of Asian origin, which at first glance appears to be a type of Pinscher, practically does not shed hair, which makes it easier to clean.
Furthermore, the Basenji is very lively, loyal and docile, factors that also make it easier to get along with humans.

Loyal, obedient and playful, the Portuguese Water Dog, or “Portuguese Water Dog”, as our cousins from Portugal call it, is another “hypoallergenic” breed.
Despite being quite hairy, these dogs do not shed hair easily, which prevents their owners from having sneezing attacks and runny noses, for example.
Originally used as assistants in fishing (hence the origin of their name), these dogs have become great partners for humans, being extremely sociable.

The small and adorable Maltese are, contrary to what many people believe, dogs recommended for those with allergies to hair, fungi and other vectors.
The secret of these animals is the fact that their hair does not fall out like other breeds. Instead, the hair grows continuously and needs to be trimmed.
This factor prevents the appearance of dandruff and opportunistic microorganisms that generate allergy. This makes it easy to enjoy the animation of these furry animals!
