Adding a new dog or puppy to your family can be exciting and fun, especially if it’s your first pet. Many new owners know that dogs require a lot of care and maintenance from getting shots and finding the right food. However, it can get tiresome and frustrating to constantly clean up dog hair from shedding, especially when it gets all over your furniture and clothes. People sometimes don’t want to adopt or buy puppies because they don’t want hair all over the place.

Keep in mind that no dog is genuinely 100% non-shedding, and those that are hypoallergenic could still trigger allergies. Therefore, you should do research and identify whether it’s the dog’s actual fur or if it’s something else (such as their saliva) that triggers your allergies.
