Are Blue Lacys hypoallergenic?
No, Blue Lacys are not hypoallergenic. They shed throughout the year, which means they can spread dander, or tiny flakes of skin that can trigger allergies in sensitive individuals. Their coat requires weekly grooming to manage shedding and minimize allergens in the home.
Consistent cleaning is key to reducing the spread of allergens. Vacuuming with a HEPA filter can help capture dander and other allergens. Washing your Blue Lacy’s bedding, toys, and any other items they frequently come into contact with can also help reduce allergen levels. Additionally, frequent brushing can help remove loose fur and dander before it has a chance to spread around your home. Creating a designated pet-free zone, such as a bedroom, can also provide a safe space with fewer allergens.
