Are Cockapoos hypoallergenic?
Yes, Cockapoos are hypoallergenic dogs because they usually inherit the tight curls and fleece-like coat of their poodle parent. Cockapoos are often promoted as hypoallergenic dogs because they are a crossbreed between Poodles and Cocker Spaniels, both of which are considered hypoallergenic breeds.
However, the extent to which a Cockapoo inherits these hypoallergenic traits can vary depending on factors such as genetics, coat type, and individual variation. While some Cockapoos may have coats that produce less dander and are more tolerable for people with allergies, others may still trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially if they inherit more of the Cocker Spaniel’s coat characteristics. Either way, regular grooming can help your Cockapoo’s coat stay healthy and clean and reduce issues with allergies.
