Are Neapolitan Mastiffs hypoallergenic?

No, Neapolitan Mastiffs are not hypoallergenic. Their short, dense coat and the significant amount of loose, wrinkled skin can contribute to shedding and the production of dander, which may trigger allergies in sensitive individuals.

For those with allergies, it’s important to consider that no dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, but some breeds may produce fewer allergens than others. If you’re sensitive to dog allergens, it’s important to spend time with the dog to assess how you may react before committing to adoption.

Additionally, to reduce dog allergens in your home, clean regularly by vacuuming with a HEPA filter and mopping floors. Use air purifiers. Wash your hands and change clothes after interacting with your pet, and designate pet-free zones in your home, especially in bedrooms.
