Can a Hypoallergenic Dog Exist?
This article is a transcript.
Are any dogs, truly hypoallergenic? I'm Dr. Manan Shah. I'm an ENT and allergist with Wyndly Health.

If you have a dog allergy, the only way to truly retrain your immune system to stop being allergic to your dogs is through a therapy called immunotherapy.
