Although Irish wolfhounds aren’t 100% hypoallergenic, they don’t shed a lot. For this reason, they’re safe for a person with dog allergies to be around because dander and saliva are what trigger/cause allergies. Dander is microscopic skin flecks shed by furry animals that can remain in the air for long or get stuck on fabric or furniture because they’re lightweight. Hair that falls off carries allergens that can be airborne, and that’s how allergic people get affected. Irish wolfhounds are friendly, loving, and always willing to embrace or lick your face anytime.
