Are Maltese hypoallergenic?

Yes, Maltese dogs are often considered hypoallergenic because they produce fewer allergenic proteins found in their dander, saliva, and urine compared to some other breeds. This can make them a more suitable choice for individuals with allergies, although no dog breed is entirely hypoallergenic. People with allergies should spend time with Maltese to assess their personal tolerance and consider the dog’s grooming and care needs to minimize allergen exposure.
