Poodles are often considered allergy-friendly due to their unique coat characteristics. Unlike many breeds, Poodles have a curly, dense coat that sheds less frequently. This type of fur traps dander, the common allergen in dog hair, within the curls instead of releasing it into the environment. Additionally, their hair grows continuously and slowly, which reduces the amount of loose hair and dander in the home. While no dog is entirely hypoallergenic, Poodles' coat properties make them a more suitable option for individuals with dog allergies.
