Unfortunately, Alaskan Malamute are not hypoallergenic. If you or anyone in your family is sensitive to allergies, this breed may not be for you. Alaskan Malamute has a double thick coat of about 2 inches that sheds a lot throughout the year, specifically during the shedding season. This will not eliminate the issue, but to avoid the excessive shed triggering allergic reactions in humans, you can groom and brush them regularly, which will remove the allergens and dead hair strands.
