Are Vizslas hypoallergenic?
No, Vizslas are not hypoallergenic. They have a short and smooth coat that sheds moderately throughout the year. While they do not typically have a dense undercoat like some breeds, they still shed dander (dead skin cells) and produce saliva and urine proteins that can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
People with dog allergies should consult an allergist before bringing a Vizsla or any other breed into their home. Regular grooming, such as brushing and bathing, can help reduce the amount of loose hair and dander in the environment, which may help minimize allergy symptoms. However, Vizslas are not hypoallergenic dogs ( no dog breed is) and may not be suitable for individuals with severe allergies to dogs.
