Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds (Small, Medium, & Large Breeds!)

Hypoallergenic is a word you may see or hear a lot once you start the dog adoption process. If a dog is "hypoallergenic," it just means they are less or unlikely to cause an allergic reaction! Many people are allergic to dogs, especially if they shed all day long. Hypoallergenic dogs don't shed (well...only a littttle bit. Like humans!), making them great household pets for anyone allergic or sensitive to dog hair. Many different breeds are hypoallergenic, and to find the right match for you and your home, we've broken some of them down for you. We have compiled a list of multiple different hypoallergenic dog breeds in each size category so you can make the best decision for your lifestyle and not cause any allergic reactions.

How To Introduce a Kitten to a Dog

Bringing a kitten into a dog home can be intimidating and even a little scary, but it doesn't have to be! Cats and dogs can coexist, get along and even become best friends. When introducing your two new friends to each other, you do have to remember that cats and dogs have very different mannerisms, attitudes and overall are very different animals. Introducing them to each other doesn't have to be complicated. Still, it will require some work because they won't (typically) naturally get along. Introducing a kitten to your dog can be easier because the cat will be coming into a new environment, and you can establish this routine early on. But, it can be a challenge because dogs are more energetic and excited than a cat. The biggest risk will be your dog getting too excited when first meeting and thinking your kitten wants to play at their level! Don't worry though, we will cover all of this and go through proper steps to introduce your kitten to your dog and create a happy relationship.
