Hypoallergenic, meaning "below normal" or "slightly" allergenic, was a term first used in a cosmetics campaign in 1953. It is used to describe items (especially cosmetics and textiles) that cause or are claimed to cause fewer allergic reactions. Hypoallergenic pets still produce allergens, but because of their coat type, absence of fur, or absence of a gene that produces a certain protein, they typically produce fewer allergens than others of the same species. People with severe allergies and asthma may still be affected by a hypoallergenic pet.
The term lacks a medical definition, but it is in common usage and found in most standard English dictionaries. In some countries, there are allergy interest groups that provide manufacturers with a certification procedure including tests that ensure a product is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction, but such products are usually described and labeled using other but similar terms. So far, public authorities in no country provide an official certification that an item must undergo before being described as hypoallergenic.
The term hypoallergenic dog breed is commonly used to refer to a dog breed (or crossbreed) that is more compatible with allergic people than other breeds. However, prominent allergen researchers have claimed that there is no basis to the claims that certain dog breeds are hypoallergenic and, while allergen levels vary among individual dogs, the breed is not a significant factor.
Though some studies suggest the possible existence of hypoallergenic dog breeds, there is too much variability to conclude that such a breed exists. According to researchers, claims about the existence of hypoallergenic dog breeds may have been fueled by unsubstantiated articles on the internet. In a recent interview, Christine Cole Johnson, Senior Staff Scientist at the Henry Ford Hospital & Health System, referring to the findings of her article in the July 2011 issue of the American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy, explained that it was unclear where the name hypoallergenic dog breed came from, and asserted that the existence of such a breed was just a myth. The significant allergens are proteins found in the dog's saliva and dander. Some studies have suggested that the production of the allergen, and therefore human allergenic reaction, varies by breed, yet more recent scientific findings indicate that there are no significant differences between breeds in the generation of these allergens. One study found hypoallergenic breeds to have significantly more allergen in their coats than non-hypoallergenic breeds although there was no differences in the allergen levels in the air or on the floor.

Watch in HD if you'd like to see my pores! And read me... I'm sure some of you will disagree with what I've said about dermatologists, but just know that my opinions have been formed after spending 10 years in the skin care industry. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, and if you have (or are) a wonderful dermatologist, I'm very happy for you! :)
It’s a simple claim made on thousands of personal care products for adults and kids: hypoallergenic. But what does that actually mean? Turns out, it can mean whatever manufacturers want it to mean, and that can leave you feeling itchy. Speaking of Chemistry is back this week with Sophia Cai explaining why “hypoallergenic” isn’t really a thing.

Myth or fact? Is there such a thing as a hypoallergenic dog?
Support me on patreon! http://www.patreon.com/wasabiroots All cats produce an allergen from their skin or saliva (not hair) but some produces less allergens than others. Thus the word "hypo" which means "less than" in the word hypoallergenic. Before choosing a hypoallergenic cat or dog as stated from the internet you need to be exposed to them in person because different people have different sensitivities to different cats. But here are the cat breeds that are known to be hypoallergenic: 7. Balinese 6. Russian Blue 5. Bengal 4. Ocicat 3. Siberian 2. LaPerm 1. Javanese
While no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, there are a variety of breeds that do well with allergy sufferers. These dogs have a predictable, non-shedding coat which produces less dander. Dander, which is attached to pet hair, is what causes most pet allergies in humans.
Open for more info ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Hey everyone! I love cats but unfortunately I have become allergic to them. I don't own a cat right now but hope to in the future. I have had experience caring for cats in the past. I researched some cat breeds for allergy sufferers. I included some details about their personalities. There are many hyper cats on this list. It seems a lot of hypoallergenic cats are more high energy and a bit more needy. No cat is 100% hypoallergenic. Don't commit to a cat until you test out if you will be allergic. Each breed produces different amounts of allergens. My favorite is the Russian Blue. It's adorable and one of the calmer cats on this list. Hyper cats can be quite a handful. It's also not too noisy. Meowing can be cute but constant meowing can be annoying in my opi...
