Are English Cocker Spaniels hypoallergenic?

No, English Cocker Spaniels are not hypoallergenic. They shed and produce dander, which can trigger allergies in sensitive individuals. Like all dogs, they produce allergy-triggering proteins in their saliva, skin, and urine that can stick to their fur and spread around the home when they shed. 

To help reduce the spread of pet dander, brushing them at least once a week — preferably outside — can remove loose fur before it sheds indoors. Occasional baths using pet-safe shampoos can also minimize dander buildup on their coat and skin. Keeping a clean home by frequently vacuuming with a HEPA filter vacuum, using air purifiers, and washing their bedding can make a big difference in managing allergens.
