People with allergies are unenviable. And almost every allergy sufferer has a whole list of taboos that a person who does not suffer from allergic reactions does not even know about. But one point in it is logical and understandable to everyone. So, perhaps number one is pets. But what if the desire to give your love and warmth to a four-legged home friend is above all. If a child grows up in a family who, like the Kid from the fairy tale about Carlson, wants a dog more than all the toys in the world, but you are afraid that after some time you will be forced to look for a new home for the pet, not to mention the child’s eyes full of tears at just one the thought of a possible separation from a friend. Are there animal breeds that have hypoallergenic qualities?

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of animal allergies is, of course, wool. When there is a fluffy luxurious cat in the house, its elegant fur is absolutely everywhere in a month. Moreover, white cats most of all like to sleep on black trousers, and black cats on snow-white bedding. Of course, this is a joke. But really, over time, the hair of a cat or dog will evenly fill the entire apartment. But not only animal hair causes allergies. Microparticles contained in saliva and dandruff on the skin of an animal are no less dangerous. As for absolutely hairless breeds, they sweat very quickly and must be bathed often. It is best to choose a pet that has a light coat with no undercoat, breeds that do not shed, or little to no hair.

Sometimes people see the source of all troubles in a big shaggy dog without noticing the obvious. If you have become prone to allergic reactions, you need to reconsider your lifestyle as a whole. If you rarely go outdoors, rarely ventilate the room, you can’t part with your grandmother’s bookcase full of relics and grandfather’s carpets, then most likely the animal has nothing to do with it. Get rid of old clothes, furniture, synthetic toys, carpets and books, and change your pillows. Use hypoallergenic fabrics and materials, replace heavy curtains with comfortable roller blinds.

Allergies are caused not only by cat hair, which mechanically irritates the mucous membrane. The main allergen is a protein found in the saliva of an animal. The cat regularly licks itself, you take it to stroke and after a while you feel unwell. This protein is found in the saliva of absolutely all cats. But its concentration in different breeds can be greater or lesser. The cat always needs regular care — keep the bowls clean, bathe and clean the room regularly. Kittens and cats produce the least protein, males produce more. Choose a cat with a lighter color. By the way, white cats themselves are allergic. It is best to buy a thoroughbred animal with a pedigree in a good nursery. Here is a list of the most hypoallergenic cat breeds:
* Balinese cat
* Javanese cat
* Oriental cat
* Devon-rex
* Cornish Rex
* Don Sphynx
* Canadian Sphynx
* Petersburg Sphinx
* Ukrainian Levkoy
* Siberian cat

Dogs with allergies are even more taboo than cats. In the case of dogs, it is not wool and saliva that cause allergies, but microparticles of the skin and microscopic mites that enter the air, combining with dust, they cause allergies. If you are highly allergic, opt for hairless breeds. But remember about the vigorous activity of the secretory glands of these dogs. They need to be bathed regularly. Wire-haired breeds, such as schnauzers, do not cause allergies so much. They are not prone to shedding and need regular trimming. Poodles, on the other hand, have curly hair without undercoat, also do not cause allergic reactions, they need to be cut regularly. Yorkshire terriers are considered non-allergenic, their coat in its structure resembles human hair.

If you are afraid to get a pet because you are planning a child, keep in mind that the sooner the child comes into contact with pets, the healthier he will be. Immunity will be developed, because with perfect sterility, children get sick more often, because they do not encounter microbes and do not know how to deal with them. In a family with a cat and a dog, children develop faster, learn to care and love. Four-legged pets are our best friends, they teach us friendship, devotion and love, bring up our best qualities and encourage us to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle.
