  • Hypoallergenic Dogs: Fact or Myth? What Science Actually Says
    Jan 24 2026

    Hypoallergenic dogs are often promoted as the perfect solution for people with allergies but is that actually true?

    In this episode, we break down the hypoallergenic dog myth and explore what science really says about dog allergies, shedding, dander, and saliva. You’ll learn why no dog is truly hypoallergenic, how allergies actually work, and what factors matter most when choosing a dog if you or a family member has allergies.

    We also discuss:

    • What people really mean when they say “hypoallergenic dogs”

    • Why some breeds seem better for allergy sufferers

    • The role of dander, saliva, grooming, and environment

    • Common marketing myths vs medical reality

    • Practical considerations for families, service dog prospects, and allergy aware owners

    Whether you’re considering a new puppy, researching breeds, or trying to understand your own allergic reactions, this episode helps you make informed, realistic decisions based on evidence, not labels.

    🎧 Tune in to separate fact from fiction and learn what truly matters when it comes to dogs and allergies.
