Although no dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, some breeds have coats that shed less or far less than others.
Raj had Yorkshire terrier Cinnamon to help get him through his romantic woes on "The Big Bang Theory." Elle Woods' Chihuahua, Bruiser, was always by her side. Even Shaggy had Scooby-Doo to help him through some spine-tingling moments. When the going gets tough, people often find comfort in a furry friend.
As the world increasingly prioritizes emotional and mental health, more and more people are turning to ESAs as one way to help manage their issues. Unfortunately, some 10%-20% of the world's population has dog or cat allergies, meaning many people who could benefit from an emotional support dog may not think it is an option for them. But there is a silver lining.
Poodles As aforementioned, poodles are not truly hypoallergenic, but they do shed a lot less than other breeds. Poodles can be excellent support animals because they are highly trainable, friendly, and form strong bonds with their humans. The AKC also notes that poodles are typically very affectionate with family members, good with young children, and often get along well with other dogs. As a bonus for people with anxiety, poodles have an extremely protective nature.
Maltese Maltese are typically very affectionate and don't shed as much as many other breeds. This breed often forms an especially strong bond with one person, making them good potential companions for people living alone. Their empathetic nature also makes them especially good for helping those experiencing anxiety or depression. As a smaller dog breed, Maltese can be convenient travel companions, making it even easier to always have them near.
