Are Black Mouth Curs hypoallergenic?
No, Black Mouth Curs are not hypoallergenic. They shed moderately to heavily depending on the season and produce a range of allergens in their dander, saliva, and urine proteins, which can trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. These allergens can become airborne and settle on surfaces throughout the home, including furniture, carpets, and bedding.
While no dog breed is entirely hypoallergenic, there are steps that can be taken to reduce allergens in the home. Regular grooming is essential, including brushing your pup’s coat to remove loose fur and dander. Bathing your Black Mouth Cur once a month or so can also help reduce allergens on their fur. Additionally, frequent vacuuming and dusting can reduce the amount of dog allergens on surfaces in the home. Using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in vacuum cleaners and air purifiers can further reduce airborne allergens. Washing bedding and pet accessories in hot water regularly can also help minimize dander and fur buildup.
