Are Bearded Collies hypoallergenic?
No, Bearded Collies aren’t hypoallergenic due to their long, shedding coat and dander production, which can trigger allergies in affected individuals.
Regular grooming, including frequent brushing and occasional baths with a dog-friendly shampoo, can help reduce how much dander is shed around your home. Frequent cleaning with a HEPA-filter vacuum and washing pet bedding and toys are important for minimizing allergens. Using HEPA air purifiers in commonly used rooms can also capture airborne dander. Setting up a pet-free area of the house, such as a bedroom, and washing your hands after handling them can further help manage allergens.
