Are Pekingese hypoallergenic?
Hypoallergenic is defined as something that is not allergy producing or inducing. This is one quality that allergy prone dog lovers wish their breeds are 100%. Common notion is that people’s allergy is caused by the hair flying in the air and causing asthma, coughing or even itching for starters. Allergic reactions are actually due to dander. Dander is a material, such as dried skin or scales and hair that is shed from different animals. It is likened to dandruff and also nicknamed “pet pollen“.
Pekingese are considered to be hypoallergenic to some due to its coat being more like hair and not fur thus a lesser degree of dander. Chihuahuas and Poodles are also known breeds. But everyone has its own limit for dander before its causes a reaction and one should consider this if they have allergies. Remember, even though the Pekingese may be hypoallergenic, one’s threshold must be observed before taking them home.
