What does Hypoallergenic Mean?
First things first, who are Pomskys and what does hypoallergenic mean? Pomskies are hybrid dogs who come from the adorable Pomeranians and the mighty Huskies. Coming to the other question, hypoallergenic means that this dog would not cause an allergic reaction to those who are allergic to dogs. You may have heard that the Pomskies are hypoallergenic, but are they really? This is the question that we will tackle in this article.
Do Pomskys shed?
No. Pomsky has a thick and double covered coat which it sheds completely each year, this might be an issue for humans who are allergic to dog’s hair.
Are Pomskys good apartment dogs?
With a Pomsky you will have to carry out lots of grooming. You will likely be exposed to skin dander while grooming. You should also bathe your dog on a regular basis. This can help minimize his dander floating in the air and his hair lying about in the house.
Do Labradors Cause Allergies?
The Pomsky is not hypoallergenic. They have a thick double coat that sheds year-round. A Pomsy will shed especially heavily in the warmer months. So, depending on where you live that could be 6 months of the year. This breed is not suited to a person with dog allergies.
How to prevent allergies
Groom your Pomsky
Brush the Pomsky’s coat weekly to prevent mats and tangles. Brushing with a good bristle brush also distributes the natural oil in your pet’s skin. The oil also protects the coat from dirt. Stop brushing if you notice tangles in your pet’s coat because removing them with a brush can be extremely painful. Instead of brushing, simply cut them out with scissors. Just be careful when doing so especially if your pet moves a lot.
Cleaning
Ideally, the best living condition for a Pomsky pooch is a cold habitat because of their genes from their Pomeranian and Husky parents. If talking about their size Pomsky can fit anywhere from a large house to a small apartment. A Pomsky pooch can also adjust to a warm climate, the only problem that can arise is the shedding of the dog’s hair which can lead to more grooming and cleaning sessions. A Pomsky has a double-layered coat which can cause excessive panting in your Pomsky.
