This may come as a shock to hear, but there is actually no such thing as a "hypoallergenic" dog breed! 😳😲
Poodle Breeds CAN be easier on those with allergies🤧
If you struggle with allergies, a poodle or doodle mix would be your best bet 🐶💛

The third and final Summer Hazard that Dr. Birken frequently sees at the animal hospital during the summer is Heat Stroke. ☀️🌡️
Ways to prevent heat stroke ⬇️
🐾 Make sure your pet has access to water and shade if outside
🐾 Choose cooler times of the day to walk, avoid mid day heat
🐾 Never leave your pet in the car without AC
🐾 If you think your pet may be getting too hot, lay them on a cold floor and apply a cool towel to their body
🐾 Remember that heat stroke is an emergency 🚨
